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 Virgo in Health and Energy
The Analyst
Sun is a luminary and Virgo runs on Mercury, 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 health through a Virgo lens, the Strength says that you feel like your body is something to maintain according to plan, a thing you ignore until it stops working, and information you're always half-listening to. This has either led to you catching small problems early, or to ignoring major signals because you're too busy fixing everything else. The body has been sending the same signal for months and nobody has bothered to listen. The Virgo blind spot in it is the feeling of being useless, or of having wasted time on something that didn't hold up.
In practice that can look like the body making the decision for you, or a genuine reset. Whatever form it takes, it is turning inward, where the usual moves stop working.
