Strength

Major Arcana

This is tarot, a different tradition from astrology. The card is drawn at random: nothing in the sky chooses it. It is a prompt for reflection and it predicts nothing.

Reversed

What the tradition associates with this card when it falls the other way up.

Reversed, traditionally read as self-doubt and frayed patience: the quiet courage of the card turned inward as uncertainty. It is also read as force used where gentleness was called for, or as tiredness that makes composure hard to keep.

  • self-doubt
  • impatience
  • depleted reserves
