Card Imagery

A gentle figure calmly holds open the jaws of a lion, not through brute force but with quiet confidence and compassion. An infinity symbol floats above their head, and a garland of flowers decorates both figures. A mountain range stretches into the distance under a golden sky.

Upright Meaning

Strength is about courage, patience, and mastering your inner world. It represents the quiet power of compassion and self-control — taming the beast within not through force, but through understanding and love.

Reversed Meaning

Reversed, Strength points to self-doubt, insecurity, or allowing fear to control you. You may be struggling with inner demons or lacking the confidence to face a challenge with grace.
