# STRENGTH The Strength card depicts a woman clothed in a white gown, symbolizing the purity of her intentions. She is adorned with a wreath of flowers around her head and waist, illustrating her connection to nature and femininity. Above her head floats an infinity symbol in a clear sky, showcasing the calm energy surrounding the woman and the lion, and representing her infinite strength and knowledge. The lion, symbolizing passion, desire, and the animalistic tendencies of human nature, has been tamed by the woman. Notice how she does not use force over the lion, but instead establishes her dominion with compassion and calm energy. Her courage and love give her control over the raw emotion of the lion, who licks her hand affectionately. ## 키워드 **정방향 (Upright):** Courage, compassion, influence, instinct, control, bravery, inner strength, fortitude, determination, self-confidence, love, grace **역방향 (Reversed):** Weakness, vulnerability, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, repression, aggression, force, raw emotion, beastly nature, violence, fear ## BEGINNINGS ### 정방향 (Upright) Roar, babe!

You don’t always have to be the strong one. ### 역방향 (Reversed) Feelings of inadequacy have got you down lately, which is leading you to isolate yourself from your loved ones. This card can also symbolize bonds that were once strong, beginning to become weak. **실천 사항 (Action):** Stop thinking that you’re a burden to those who love you. Your loved ones want to support you.

A lack of self-control or discipline is taking a toll on your confidence. **실천 사항 (Action):** Ask yourself where things are out of balance with your health or lifestyle, and how you can make changes. Be kind to yourself and rest when needed. ## HIGHER GUIDANCE ### 정방향 (Upright) Things have been tough lately and you’ve had to draw a lot on your inner strength to keep going. Your guides see the strength in you and want you to know that you can overcome any situation. **실천 사항 (Action):** Keep in mind that this is a time of growth. You won’t have to lean on your strength forever. This too shall pass. ### 역방향 (Reversed) Ooh that self-doubt is creeping in and throwing a wrench in all your plans. Insecurity and uncertainty are threatening to run the show. **실천 사항 (Action):** Don’t let self-doubt hold you back! Know that you’re infinitely supported by the Universe and worthy of living the life you desire. ## OUTCOME ### 정방향 (Upright) This card suggests a positive outcome if you’re able to move forward with flow rather than force. Bravery and courage will be required on your journey, as you may have to overcome some big hurdles. **실천 사항 (Action):** Release the need for control and remain steadfast in your inner power. Lead with quiet confidence and your determination will see you through. ### 역방향 (Reversed) You may be feeling doubtful that the outcome you’re hoping for will actually come to fruition. Know that it is still possible to achieve your desired outcome, you just need to choose that you’ll succeed and act accordingly. **실천 사항 (Action):** Ask yourself where you’re experiencing self-doubt. If you knew you would succeed, how would you act? Embody that version of yourself.
