Strength Tarot Card Meaning

The Strength tarot card shows just that, strength. A lion, which represents courage and the strength of physical power, is being subdued by a women dressed in long white robes, garlands of leaves and flowers wrapped around her waist and threaded through her hair. An infinity symbol floats above her head. The woman stands for patience and control, which is mental strength. They stand in an open field where energy flows around them in its natural splendor, reflected in the yellow sky (a color of optimism).

Strength Tarot Card Meanings- Positivity, vitality, courage, taming your power, and concentration.

The Strength tarot card is more of a supplemental card. You have to pay attention to the other cards drawn in order to get a full picture. Because it’s so straightforward, Strength can come off as unimportant or you can glaze over it. Paying attention to its placement in a reading can determine how much weight you give to the message and often there is quite a bit more to the message than meets the eye at first glance.

The Strength Tarot Card Meanings In A Reading

Love and Relationships- Balance and harmony is key in any relationship. There is definite physical attraction but you still need emotional attraction. That is, you have to be on the same wavelength, so to speak.  If you are both committed to maintaining  peace and harmony your relationship will flourish. With family and friends, the peace you want will come from a strong matriarch. Look for her guidance (is it you?). For single people, patience is the rule of the day and having the inner strength to wait for the right person will result in rewards far greater than taking whoever crosses your path right now.

Money and Career- Consistency will earn you top dollar. You may also have a big account you are in charge of that needs a firm hand to manage. Being in control doesn't mean being bossy or controlling, it means guiding effectively and leading through example with strong boundaries and clear directions. In your personal finances, don’t spend just because the money in your account is making you feel wealthy. Have a solid plan or you'll have more month than money.

Health and Wellness- You are either in the best shape you can be in or you are working towards this goal. Physical strength is a real outcome with this card so keep going and find your rhythm. You will get top results by personalizing your health plan, so remember what works for someone else is not necessarily right for you.
 
Spirituality- Give your spiritual muscles a work out. Do some rituals. Gain some new metaphysical tools. Even pray, if that’s your practice. Whatever you can do to grow stronger and more aware, do it. Strength comes from practice and endurance and your spiritual muscles need this as much as your physical muscles.

The Reversed Strength Tarot Card From The Rider-Waite Tarot Deck.

Strength Tarot Card Meanings Reversed- Perceived weakness, self-doubt, out of control power, lack of focus, and sensitivity.

Upright, Strength shows a powerful and in-charge person. Reversed, Strength is lost and at a point where weakness and insecurity seep in. You may have lost a fight and are licking your wounds. You may have over-exerted yourself and now you’re burned out. Your ego may have gotten in the way of some good opportunities and now they're gone. Self-reflection is critical when this card shows up reversed.

Love and Relationships- Someone has too much power and it's time to examine the power dynamics. You may need to reframe the situation to see where the imbalance is. Single people, don’t give away your power too easily. When dating, make sure you get a word in and have a say in where this relationship goes.

Money and Career- You may be coming on too strong or have an aggressive style that can be problematic with coworkers or business partners. Your pockets cannot handle losing customers so try to be a little more diplomatic. If you’re looking for a job don’t send out too many resumes and don’t call them before they call you. Give them time to review your application. Also, spending may be problematic if you're buying on emotional impulse and not based on need.

Health and Wellness- If you receive the Strength card reversed you are not in the best health. You may have a few “bad” habits that need to be broken in order to improve your health. And hey, even gentle exercise has multiple benefits, so take an easy walk outside or ride your bike around the neighborhood. Mentally, you aren’t the healthiest you've ever been. You may need a few mental health and rest days. Active rest combined with moving your body gently is great for these moments.

Spirituality- You're psychically exhausted. You do not have to be the strongest person in the room. You do not have to be a rock for everyone else. If you need to release something, do it. This is a good time to see  whom you desire to give forgiveness to (you should be on that list also!). If you happen to be in the unusual situation where you've not exhausted yourself spiritually but you feel disconnected, the Strength tarot card reversed is reminding you to call on your inner power for support dealing with this uncomfortable situation.
