What is the Meaning of the Strength Tarot Card?

The eight card of the Major Arcana, Strength, represents order, discipline, and confidence.

In traditional tarot Strength is depicted as a woman and a golden lion that she has subdued.

This portrayal quite literally shows that she is soothing the beast.

Strength is not aggressive, but she gets the job done and does so with poise and grace.

Strength is all about your ability to assert yourself in a diplomatic and constructive way.

It is also about your own personal growth and coming into your own by taking the reins and directing yourself down your path without stepping on the toes of others.

It is a very powerful card and is generally a good omen in your readings.

The Upright Strength Meaning

Strength in your past position shows that your current situation stems from you maintaining your composure and claiming control over something in your past.

It represents making the best decision for you and shows personal growth from standing your ground.

Because of this moment in your life, you are now reaping the benefits of coming out on top.

If Strength appears in your current position this means that you are in a good place mentally and emotionally, even if you don’t quite realize it.

At the moment, you are capable of taking control and making favorable outcomes for yourself by cooperation and diplomacy instead of an aggressive or domineering approach.

In a future position Strength is a favorable outcome for the person being read. Whatever it is that they are experiencing in the present, they are fully capable of coming out on top by asserting themselves and taking control over the situation.

This outcome is easily achieved when one remembers their confidence and tact.
