Strength
Upright
courage · patience · inner strength · compassion · self-mastery
Strength shows a figure gently taming a lion through compassion rather than force. True strength is not about domination but about the quiet courage to face your fears with grace. You have more inner resources than you realize — meet difficulty with calm and patience.
Reversed
self-doubt · weakness · fear · loss of composure
Self-doubt is louder than your actual capability. Raw fear or instinct is overwhelming measured response. Or strength is being expressed as aggression rather than courage. Return to the qualities you know are yours.
