Tarot Card: Strength
Added 2023-07-11 19:59:01 +0000 UTCThe Strength card is a card of inner strength, perseverance, and courage. What people may not see on the outside, you have in abundance on the inside with calm and patient resilience. If hard times are upon you, this card tells you to look to your inner strength to get through it. You can bring balance and guidance to tough situations, being persistent but calm as you deal with obstacles. You don't need excessive force or power to overcome the things that get in the way, what you have on the inside is made of tough enough stuff to handle it.
Perhaps someone you know is in need of your strength, or there is a fear you need to overcome and face with bravery. Trust yourself and move forward and don't give into the bad things around you. Your raw instincts might be pulling you but you should take a step back and not let them take over. Think logically and stand your ground to make the best and boldest decisions. You might feel anger and rage but it's time for you to move past that and find peace and forgiveness.
Reversed, the strength card asks you to examine yourself and be aware if you're lacking confidence or being TOO confident or too emotional.
If you feel you're lacking, try to rekindle your inner strength. Look to your past achievements and observe the best aspects of yourself, you're probably a lot stronger than you realize.
If you're feeling burnout from being the strong one, it's okay to step back and take a break. Take care of your own needs so you can replenish yourself and get back on your feet. You don't always have to be the one keeping things together.
You might be finding yourself more emotionally impulsive and vulnerable, reacting strongly to negative emotions. Don't repress these emotions, but instead try to find a way to channel them in a healthy, useful way. Re-frame them, get a handle on them, and seek help if it's challenging for you. A good friend, mentor, or a therapist might be just what you need to get your emotions in check.
