The Strength Card in Different Tarot Decks

Meaning in Situations

To achieve what you intend, you must believe in your own powers — the strength that lies within you. Now is the time to believe in yourself. Or perhaps right now your position is strong enough to stand up to those who try to suppress you. You are able to steer your desires in the direction you want. This is exactly what will help you regain your health or achieve success. If you asked a question about health, the appearance of this card heralds a swift recovery and the restoration of strength.

The union of soul and body, of active and passive, of spiritual and material. One of the cards of magic — healing, love magic (with good intentions), spontaneous magic (attraction).

Reversed Card Meaning

In the reversed position the Strength card points to the use of brute force, aggressive and overconfident behavior. A weak personality unable to reach inner harmony and peace of mind. Such a person finds it hard to restrain their baser instincts. In some cases the card's appearance indicates that a third party has a strong influence over your life — yet the person has neither the desire nor the strength to resist, so they silently watch their plans, dreams and hopes collapse. It can also indicate someone who meddles in other people's affairs and imposes their opinion on everyone.

Reversed, this card means fear, powerlessness, depression. You are unsure of yourself and afraid of something. You may feel ill and weak. Now is not the best time to rush the resolution of any matter. Quite the opposite — arm yourself with patience and let the situation go. Sometimes the reversed Strength arcanum says you must tame the personal demons dwelling within you. You may have an addiction — alcohol or tobacco, for example — that is interfering with your life. The card warns that you must take better care of your health.

Reversed Meaning: Work

Financial losses, sometimes planned expenses. Disputes with partners, conflicts, parting ways. Dismissal from work, unpaid wages, quarrels with colleagues. Plans falling apart.

Reversed Meaning: Health

Traumas, injuries, exhaustion, weakened immunity. Does not signify death, but may appear together with the corresponding cards.

Reversed Meaning: Relationships

Separation, quarrels, discord. The two people see the relationship differently.

Reversed Meaning: Advice and Warning

Invest effort or spend money. Separation is possible (sometimes it even advises separating), quarrels, loss of money or health.

Reversed Meaning: Yes or No

“No.” “Yes” — for questions about separation or ending something.
