The Strength holds number 8, and it is the ninth tarot card of the Major Arcana cards.
The Strength tarot card, in its core, usually represents the power of your spirit, the vitality, and influence that are your best natural abilities.
The Strength Meaning
When drawing tarot cards, usually they are put in a vertical setting, spread on a timeline of the past, present, and future. In this kind of drawing, The Strength may come up straight, as well as reversed. Some psychic readers like to read reversed tarot cards. Some don’t. Either way, the other tarot cards in the drawing will make up for the way the psychic reader conducts their readings, because a tarot card deck is connected to the energy of the psychic reader, so it ‘talks’ to them.
Upright Position
The Strength card would represent:
| Having stamina | Enduring a lot |
| Being unshakable | Being patient |

Horizontal Position
There are also spreads where the tarot cards pulled are placed on vertical as well as horizontal positions. If The Strength would sit in a horizontal position, it reminds you that you have all the strength you need.

The Strength – Love and Relationships
The Strength would indicate that you have gone through some hard times in your relationship, and you have recently started to recover. It suggests that both you and your partner are choosing to be forgiving of past mistakes or past issues, and you are willing to look forward.
Maybe the hard times you went through was none of your mistakes, things just happen, but you are choosing to unite and be healthy together to overcome any blockages and heartaches. You will soon be back on the top of it, and you may become even closer than you ever were with your partner.
How someone sees you or feels about you?
They see you as someone who may have a wild side. Sometimes you might make them feel weak or even inadequate. If you are not doing this on purpose, then your partner needs to learn how to embrace this side of yours by trying to approach it gently, show their disagreements when they do have, and not try to tame you. They appreciate your vitality and energy, which may be the thing that attracted them to you in the first place, and also the one that has kept them yearning all the time.
Just starting dating?
If you have started dating this new person, they see you as someone who is very straightforward and who does not like to sugar coat anything. They may also see you as the life of the party. They also notice your need to be in the center of attention or appreciated by others. You draw attention without trying too hard, which may leave them confused and feeling like they can not handle you. It is possible to form a relationship with this person, but only if they are willing to accept the attention you get and what you seek in life.
What not to do?
In terms of what not to do, it would advise you to be more mindful of how you are hurting your partner. It is not asking you to change the core of who you are, but it reminds you that there are actions that can be modified and adapted to your relationship status. For example, if you love to be the center of attention, or you attract attention without asking for it, before you could entertain the attention, but now you can choose not to do so.
Reverse Position (Love and Relationships)
If you pull The Strength, reversed, it may indicate that unresolved self-esteem issues are causing havoc in your love life and your relationship. It has more to do with you rather than your partner. You may feel like your partner is playing a significant role in your issues by making you feel down, belittle you, or emotionally control you. If you feel unworthy because of the partner’s behavior or the whole relationship does not feel safe and loving to you, then you probably should let it go.
The Strength – Finance, Business and Career
In business and career, The Strength may signify that now is the time to push forward and reach your hands to grab what you want. You should put your emotions aside, feelings like fear of failure, or how you will be perceived. You have the will to work hard, probably the experience as well, the dedication and determination.
If you want a promotion, just go for it. You will at least know where you stand and how much further you will have to go. Either you will get the promotion, or you will learn what you still need to do to earn it.
What not to do?
The Strength would advise you never to take any business matter personally. If you fear other people’s judgment or opinion, you will never go far in life or reach the goals you have put yourself. Once you start speaking up, your confidence will rise, and you will influence others and be heard. Regarding finances, it would indicate that you may be overindulging on stuff you don’t need, and this can have a serious tall in your financial status.
Reverse Position (Business and Finance)
In this case, it can indicate that you have trapped yourself in your feelings and emotions. You are acting from a place of emotions, rather than logic. If you want something, you should not allow fear to dictate how you act. If you’re going to find another job, start looking for it, you don’t necessarily need to leave your current job. Also, if you cannot find any good opportunities, consider starting a side hustle that can bring in more money.

The Strength would foretell a day when you may feel on top of the world. You will feel others paying attention to what you have to say or what you are doing. You may be influencing people you don’t even know.
Reversed
If you pull The Strength in reverse, it indicates a day when you may feel stuck because anxiety or fear of change is limiting your actions. You should take some time alone if you feel overburdened by others.
