Strength Reversed: Yes Or No?

When pulled in reversed position, the Strength tarot card means ‘no’. As the reversed Strength card mainly represents doubts and a lack of confidence, it’s important to get these qualities build back up first. Engage in activities that regain your sense of personal power and trust.  

You may be experiencing a temporary loss of inner-strength which is making it difficult to see a solution with regards to a specific situation.

At first hand, it may feel easiest to just silently pull back and ignore the situation. This most often has to do with feeling some type of fear or insecurity.

However, as with almost all things in life, it is best to just face the challenge head on. Try to think of ways in which you could tackle the situation with grace. 

When the Strength card shows up in reversed position; try to remember all of the things you’ve already conquered and achieved in the past and you will find there is no reason to believe you can’t do it again this time as well!

Speak up when you need to and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Even though it may not always seem like it, there are always people willing to give you a helping hand. 

Strength And Love: Yes Or No?
