Strength as No Contact (Upright & Reversed) Tarot Card Meaning

Strength is the card of strength, compassion, influence, persuasion, and determination. A woman is gently stroking a lion—she has completely tamed this wild beast. Strength shows what is possible when resilience and kindness is applied to a situation. Sometimes, it is not brute force, but inner strength that makes the most impact on a person or a relationship. 

Strength is not a traditional “love” card, and many readers get confused when it shows up in a love reading. Does it literally mean that someone feels strongly about you? There are many other cards that speak to romantic passion, so we have to ask ourselves, what is Strength trying to say in particular? As you’ll see, I interpret Strength as speaking to the dynamics between people. In love readings, Strength asks us to consider the balance of power and care in a relationship. 

Upright Strength as No Contact

If you are asking about a no contact situation, and you draw Strength, it means that patience, resilience, and inner balance are key to navigating this period. This card reminds you that emotional endurance is more powerful than forceful action, encouraging you to trust the process rather than rush into communication. True strength comes from self-control and understanding, not from trying to control external circumstances.

Strength as no contact signifies that the separation is happening because one or both of you need time to develop emotional maturity, self-control, or inner confidence. There may be a need to work through personal challenges before reconnecting in a way that is healthy and balanced. Instead of resisting the distance, this card suggests using the time apart for self-reflection and emotional growth.

For their feelings during no contact, Strength suggests that they are currently feeling composed, reflective, and working on managing their emotions rather than acting impulsively. They may care deeply but are prioritizing inner stability over immediate action. This card indicates they are taking a mature approach, ensuring that their emotions are well understood before making any moves.

If you are wondering if they will reach out, Strength indicates that they will, but only when they feel fully grounded and emotionally ready to reconnect. They are unlikely to reach out impulsively, as they prefer to act from a place of certainty and emotional control. When they do communicate, it will be steady, thoughtful, and sincere rather than reactive or uncertain.

If you are wondering if you should reach out first, Strength advises that you approach the situation with patience and kindness, ensuring that you are emotionally strong before making a move. This card suggests that forcing contact or acting from a place of fear may not lead to the outcome you desire. Instead, it encourages self-assurance and compassion, allowing the connection to unfold naturally.

For reconciliation, Strength in a no contact situation suggests that healing and emotional growth will be necessary before coming back together in a healthy and stable way. Both individuals must cultivate patience, trust, and self-awareness to create a relationship built on mutual respect and understanding. If both of you take the time to develop inner strength, reconciliation can happen in a more fulfilling and lasting way.

Reversed Strength as No Contact

If you are asking about a no contact situation, and you draw Strength reversed, it means that self-doubt, fear, or emotional imbalance may be affecting the connection. Instead of using patience and inner wisdom, someone may be struggling with impulsiveness, insecurity, or emotional overwhelm. This card suggests that the separation may feel more difficult because of unresolved fears or instability.

Strength reversed as no contact signifies that the separation is happening because someone is feeling overwhelmed, insecure, or lacking the inner strength to face the situation. Instead of dealing with emotions constructively, they may be avoiding the issue or reacting in a way that is unhealthy. Without building emotional resilience, the connection remains fragile and uncertain.

For their feelings during no contact, Strength reversed suggests that they are currently feeling vulnerable, emotionally drained, or struggling to control their impulses. They may feel powerless or unsure about how to handle the distance, leading to emotional ups and downs. This lack of stability may be preventing them from processing their feelings in a meaningful way.

If you are wondering if they will reach out, Strength reversed indicates that they may not, as they could be feeling too weak or uncertain to take action. Fear of rejection, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion may be holding them back from making contact. Unless they regain confidence and emotional clarity, they are unlikely to take meaningful steps toward communication.

If you are wondering if you should reach out first, Strength reversed advises that you wait until you feel emotionally stable and confident in what you want before reaching out. Acting out of desperation, fear, or insecurity could lead to more confusion rather than resolution. This card encourages you to prioritize your own emotional well-being before making any decisions.

For reconciliation, Strength reversed in a no contact situation suggests that rebuilding the connection will require both of you to work through insecurities and emotional challenges. If fear, doubt, or avoidance continues to dominate the dynamic, reconciling may feel unstable or short-lived. Both individuals must cultivate inner strength and emotional clarity before attempting to repair the relationship in a meaningful way.
