Strength Reversed: Love & Relationships

In love, reversed Strength warns of emotional weakness, being overwhelmed by relationship challenges, or using emotional manipulation instead of patient love. You may be giving your power away in relationships, allowing others to control or dominate you, or conversely, being too controlling yourself. This card can indicate lack of confidence in love, fear of vulnerability, or the inability to maintain emotional balance in relationships.
