Day Nine of Tarot Writing Prompts: Strength
Using tarot to spark writing inspiration.
Welcome to day nine of my tarot writing prompt project! If you aren’t familiar with this post series, click here to see day one and read the introduction. Today’s card is Strength.
What this card means
The Strength card refers to control, inner strength, patience, and belief in yourself. This card is less about outer showings of strength and more about finding strength within yourself. It has to do with having confidence that you will be able to overcome challenges, particularly internal ones, such as lack of confidence and self-doubt.
I have also read that this card can be interpreted as remaining strong, as in continuing on when you are facing challenges, even if you have been strong for a long time and it feels like you can’t be strong any longer. This card tells you that you can.
