"Softness is your superpower right now."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A woman stands with a lion as she calmly closes its mouth. She's serene in a beautiful setting and the infinity sign is above a flower crown on her head. Strength is not the lack of fear, but the ability to act with compassion when you are afraid
A sense of inner strength can be found even in the most dire situations. You are on your own kid, but you have the inner fortitude to handle a situation that might appear stressful. The infinity sign guides you, a small movement infinite times is larger than you can imagine. Don't let fear control you, move forward with decisive action
You are blocked by your own lack of confidence, perhaps you are trying something new that makes you uneasy or perhaps you are being challenged to do something that brings about a deep fear. Pay attention to what scares and why as they can be a clue to where you need to inner strength

Strength for Pisces in Self and Identity
The Dreamer
Sun is a luminary and Pisces runs on Neptune, so this card lights something up rather than fixing it. It is asking to be seen before it is solved. Upright, this has turned inward, to the place where the outer tools stop working.
When reading about yourself through a Pisces lens, the Strength says that you feel like yourself is something you discover by watching how others react to you, your own thoughts are hard to locate because you're always sensing the room first, and clarity about who you are feels dangerous or impossible. This has either kept you fluid enough to move through difficult situations, or left you so uncertain that you remake yourself each time someone new arrives. You have been so focused on who you think you should be that you haven't checked in with who you actually are. The Pisces blind spot in it is the moment they have to stop being useful and admit they're drowning.
In practice that can look like something you cannot un-see about yourself, or a season ending. Whatever form it takes, it is turning inward, where the usual moves stop working.
