Strength
The eighth arcanum is Strength. The card of inner power: taming not someone else's beast, but your own.
Upright Position
Courage, patience, self-control. The situation is resolved not by pressure but by calm persistence. The card speaks of the ability to handle strong emotions — your own and others' — and often points to a person who takes a blow without shouting.
Reversed Position
Losing it: outbursts of anger, loss of self-control, fear of circumstances. Another reading is suppression: the person has held back so much that they have stopped feeling. Sometimes — working yourself to exhaustion.
In love and at work
In love — deep feelings that require patience; a good card for a difficult period in a couple. In career — tasks that call for endurance rather than speed. Money is stable as long as you don't abandon what you started.
The card's advice
Gentle persistence is stronger than pressure. Take a pause, but don't back down.
