Strength

Steady courage is more powerful than domination; gentleness can hold great force.

Begin with the image, the question and the card’s position in the spread. Use these keywords as anchors rather than a fixed verdict.

Strength can bring courage, patience and compassion into focus. Look for the most grounded way that pattern is already visible.

What may be inward, blocked, excessive or ready for review?

A reversal does not automatically make this card negative. Test which lens fits the facts, emotional response and neighboring cards.

Where would calm persistence outperform pressure?
