Strength

Courage, Calmness, Quiet Strength - Fire - Sun - No -  7

Simple: Strength is the quiet power of grace and resilience, reminding us that true courage comes from mastering ourselves, facing fear with compassion, and finding balance in our connections with others and the world around us. 

Reversed:  Self doubt, weakness, insecurity, low energy, struggle

I think of Strength not as brute force, but as the quiet power of grace. It’s the kind of strength that doesn’t need to roar to be heard. Instead, it’s about balance — knowing when to push forward and when to soften, when to hold steady and when to let go. True strength isn’t about overpowering others, it’s about mastering yourself.

Your greatest enemy is often not outside of you, but within — the doubts, the fears, the anxieties that try to keep you small. Strength reminds us that courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s moving forward despite it.

This card is about standing firm in your beliefs and honoring your desires, even the ones buried deep in your unconscious. It’s about looking yourself in the mirror with honesty and compassion, welcoming self-discovery without judgment.

Strength asks you to face life with hope, even in the hard moments. It’s that inner resilience that carries you through exhaustion and fear, and helps you finish what you’ve started. It’s patience, endurance, and quiet confidence rolled into one.

In love, this card can mean mutual respect, affection, and tenderness. A relationship built not on control or dominance, but on balance and deep understanding.

Strength also speaks to the bond between people and animals, or people and nature — the reminder that everything in the universe is connected. These relationships create harmony, and harmony is where real strength is born.
