When this card appears upside down, you will face opposition. Your options will be restricted.

Perhaps you feel weak, sick, vulnerable, depressed: most likely, you are too absorbed in current events. Now is not the time to rush to resolve the issue. 

An inverted Strength card may indicate the need to tame your “inner demons.” Perhaps excessive dependence on other people or on bad habits (alcohol, drugs) prevents you from taking control of your own life. Maybe someone provokes you or puts pressure on you. 

You need to trust your inner strength more, then you will feel more stable and confident. Now you should reconsider the situation: perhaps you are trying to achieve a goal that is beyond your reach at the moment. 

To be successful, you need to overcome guilt, doubts, and fears. Card Strength in an inverted position can mean fatigue, physical weakness, illness. It can also signal that you need to take better care of your health,

Perhaps during this period you are communicating with sick people. The card advises the questioner not to go ahead, for blind rage will inevitably lead to an explosion (defeat).


Strength : Spirituality

This is likely to be a very spiritual time for you, even if you don’t have anything like a religious belief.

To be truly strong, you must pay attention and develop each arm of the triad that we are made of: body, mind, and spirit. Make sure you’re spending time with all three.

That’s harder to do when things are tough; If you receive this card when you are at a low point, you should know that things are very likely to be improving and going up soon.

The Strength card is a reminder that you are strong, probably stronger than you think.


Strength : Symbolism
