The Strength Card reflects confidence, inner strength, determination, commitment, patience, and intelligence.
It refers to the inner strength and the ability of the human spirit to overcome any obstacle. Your inner strength, good will and dedication are driving you. In trying to control others, you don’t rule; you are subtly controlling and compelling.
Without excessive outward force, you can control a situation.
The Strength card gives you faith in overcoming any rising worries, obstacles or doubts. It encourages you to persevere within yourself. It helps you to ‘ tame ‘ your animal instincts and raw emotions to constructively harness these initial responses.
It is common for emotions of frustration, rage, sorrow, guilt or shame to emerge. All the same, it’s what you do with these emotions that makes all the difference. This is not a time to act out in rage or hatred. Instead, approach your situation from a place of forgiveness, love and compassion. Find your inner strength.
When the Strength Card comes up in a reading it would suggest that your own inner strength is being put to the test. It asks you to calm down and not just react to a situation. It reassures you that no matter what is going on, no matter how dreadful the situation may be, you do have the inner-strength at your disposal to handle the situation and to survive through it.
Strength asks you to feel the fear and do it anyway. To put your doubts aside and show fortitude and courage. Others may be relying on you to bring them through a difficult time.
