Strength

strength tarot card

  • Courage, patience, compassion
  • Mastering your inner critic, daily
  • Quiet control, not brute force
In a reading: keep showing up and controlling your inner critic daily — that’s what builds real strength.

With Strength, the lion represents her inner voice, her inner critic, her inner demons — and its tail is between its legs. What people miss is that she has to do this every single day. You don’t just conquer your inner voice once; there’s always that little voice telling you that you can’t.

She’s got her hands in a lion’s mouth, which nobody in their right mind would do — so it’s also a card of showing off, of being in control. This is really a card of developing inner strength by controlling that inner voice, day after day, so you can accomplish something great.
