Why Strength leans YES

Quiet courage and gentle, patient control. In the traditional Rider-Waite system, that energy translates to a yes for a direct question — the Major Arcana suit speaks through Strength.

Reversed meaning

Traditions differ on reversed cards. A common reading: a reversed yes softens toward "not yet", while a reversed no tends to stand firm. For Strength, most readers treat the reversal as a signal to examine timing and intention before acting. Decide before drawing whether you count reversals at all.
