Strength
A woman wearing a crown of flowers gently closes the jaws of a roaring lion. Above her head rests the same infinity symbol found on the Magician, showing that love and patience are infinite in their power.
This card illustrates the conscious taming of the animalistic shadow self—not by slaying the beast, but by befriending it and redirecting its raw energy toward a higher purpose.
Upright
Strength is not found in physical force, but in endurance and quiet resilience. Upright, it shows the power of the human spirit to tame wild impulses, handle adversity with grace, and conquer fears through compassion and self-mastery.
Reversed
Reversed, this card suggests that your wild impulses are running rampant, leading to bursts of anger or raw emotion. Alternatively, it represents a collapse of confidence, where self-doubt robs you of your natural fortitude.
