What Strength Means In A Tarot Reading

The force depicted in the Strength card is inner strength. It’s the strength of your spirit and character. No matter what difficulties you’re faced with, you have the strength to overcome them. You don’t need to put on a display of your power. It’s enough for you to believe in yourself and to know and recognize your own abilities. Even if your situation seems desperate, look within, tap into your inner strength. The lemniscate reminds you that you know how to do this. Your strength may be more apparent to others than to yourself. Take the time to recognize it, to see it, feel it and believe it.
