Strength tarot card

"Softness is your superpower right now."

Six quick picks first, then your reading

On the card

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

Upright
Inner StrengthCouragePatienceCompassion

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

Reversed

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

Its place in the deck.

Major ArcanaCard 8
One of the 22 Major Arcana. They point to the large themes and turning points in a life, not the day to day. When one comes up, the reading is about something bigger than this week.
StageThe turn inward
After the Fool, the Major Arcana run in three stages of seven: the outer world (1 to 7), the turn inward (8 to 14) and the return (15 to 21). This one is in the turn inward: the point where the tools that worked outside stop working.

Strength for Sagittarius in Love and Relationships

The Seeker

Sun is a luminary and Sagittarius runs on Jupiter, 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 relationships through a Sagittarius lens, the Strength says that you feel like your partner is the person who understands the vision, someone who will not ask you to stay smaller, and a test of whether you can commit to anything at all. This has either led you to find someone who grows alongside you or to have left good people because they wanted you to actually be there. The thing you're not saying out loud is the thing that matters most. The Sagittarius blind spot in it is the specific weight of a single commitment, the slowness of actually building something, the possibility that it might not be enough.

In practice that can look like a turning point rather than an incident, or meeting someone who changes the shape of it. Whatever form it takes, it is turning inward, where the usual moves stop working.
