"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 Scorpio in The Future
The Transformer
Sun is a luminary and Scorpio runs on Pluto, 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 what comes next through a Scorpio lens, the Strength says that you feel like what you want is too important to say aloud, because speaking it makes it vulnerable (or makes it real), and something you will build in the dark and reveal only when it is already solid. This has either led to you achieving things quietly and completely, or to you never quite starting because the risk of being seen wanting something feels unbearable. You already know what comes next, and you are afraid of what it will cost you to get there. The Scorpio blind spot in it is the feeling of being fooled, or of being seen as naive, or of depending on someone who will leave.
In practice that can look like a door closing and it mattering, or the next chapter starting without permission. Whatever form it takes, it is turning inward, where the usual moves stop working.
