STRENGTH MEANINGS
What does Strength mean?
Strength represents courage of the quiet kind — patience, compassion, and self-mastery. The card shows a woman gently closing a lion's mouth: power expressed not through force but through calm. Upright, it says you have the inner resources to handle this; lead with steadiness rather than dominance. Reversed, it points to self-doubt, raw emotion overpowering judgment, or strength misread as the need to control everything and everyone.
