Strength Reversed: Spirituality
When Strength appears reversed in a spiritual context, there may be obstacles on your path. Spiritually, reversed Strength indicates being overwhelmed by negative emotions, lower impulses, or spiritual challenges you feel unable to handle. You may be struggling with spiritual practices, feeling disconnected from your inner strength, or being dominated by fear, anger, or other shadow emotions. This card can represent spiritual weakness, lack of faith, or the inability to maintain spiritual discipline. Sometimes reversed Strength indicates misusing spiritual knowledge for personal power rather than service, or being too harsh in your spiritual self-criticism.
