Tarot Card Symbolism: Strength Reversed

As a Tarot reader, you do not have to read reversed (upside down) meanings into any card. You can read all cards as upright if you like. However, if you do choose to use reversed meanings, you should always use reversed meanings. Don't pick and choose just because you don't like what a particular card tells you.

If you do choose to use reversed meanings, Strength is fairly simple to interpret. A lack of strength or a problem with health may be indicated. A sick person may have quite a ways to go before recovery, and full recovery is not guaranteed. A struggle may prove too difficult to overcome. Alternatively, Strength reversed may indicate that a situation can't or shouldn't be endured any longer.
