General Love Meaning
Loving someone is being strong. It is an act of courage when you allow yourself to be vulnerable and, in turn, accept others when they are vulnerable with you. Strength appears in a love reading when there is a need for compassion in your interactions with people. Become aware of how much you are trying to force situations.
Single and Loving
Don't let the world harden your heart and stamp out the goodness you have inside. Continue being someone who has strength of character. Let compassion be what you show to yourself and others daily.
Ready for Love / Dating
You may be dating someone who is red-hot under the sheets but lukewarm on the outside. If you're both having a good time and not expecting anything more, hold onto those bedposts. Otherwise, you may need some strength to walk away from mind-blowing sex and find someone you have something in common with when they're not naked for identification.
Committed Relationship
When Strength appears in an established relationship, some patience and understanding are needed. Drop the defenses and expectations to make space for open dialogue. Practice patience when the other person needs more time to clarify their feelings.
Struggling Relationship
Someone is subtly trying to manipulate or control the other to avoid conflicts. It's not malicious, but passive-aggressive behavior is neither constructive nor attractive. Now is the time to be firm and communicate with clarity. In the more extreme manifestations of Strength, someone may be more directly abusing the power they have in the relationship.
The End
For those who are about to end a relationship, you can do this! Call in the support team you need and do it - you'll feel much better afterward. Be firm but compassionate. Do both of yourselves a favor and make it a clean break. No 'sex with the ex' or continued contact. It sends the wrong signals and delays both of you moving on.
Visual Description
A dark-skinned woman stands at the center wearing a colorful headwrap, a white strapless top and a patterned skirt, with a glowing yellow heart-shape halo behind her. Three large lions and a lion cub sit or stand in the foreground, their gazes forward, while two tall giraffe silhouettes are painted on a brick wall behind them. An infinity symbol floats above the woman's head and the wall is banded in warm sunset colors from orange to turquoise at the top.
