What does Strength mean upright?
Quiet courage, patience and the power that needs no force. This card speaks of mastering your own instincts through gentleness rather than suppression. Meet what frightens you with a steady heart, and be as compassionate with yourself as you would be with another. Strength shows that the softer hand often holds the firmer grip.
What does Strength mean reversed?
Self-doubt, exhausted patience or raw impulse taking the lead. You may be forcing what only kindness could open, or doubting a strength you demonstrably have. Restore your reserves before you engage again. What you cannot conquer, you can befriend.
