Strength Reversed: Career & Work
When Strength appears reversed in a career reading, professional matters may face obstacles. Professionally, reversed Strength indicates feeling weak or overwhelmed in work situations, perhaps being bullied, discriminated against, or unable to assert yourself appropriately. This card can represent misuse of professional power, being either too aggressive or too passive in workplace situations. You may lack the confidence to pursue career goals, feel defeated by professional challenges, or be struggling with authority figures. Reversed Strength can also indicate burnout, lacking the inner resources to continue, or being in a work environment that drains your energy and confidence.
