Strength
Meaning
Upright
Strength is the quiet power that comes from patience, compassion, and resilience rather than brute force. Depicted as a woman calmly taming a lion, it shows mastery over raw instincts through understanding and trust. Upright, this card calls you to face challenges with courage and kindness — both toward yourself and others. It is a reminder that gentleness often achieves what aggression cannot, and that true strength is as much about emotional steadiness as it is about endurance.
