Strength Reversed
In its reversed state, Strength may indicate self-doubt and a struggle to harness one's inner power. You might feel overwhelmed by emotional challenges, leading to a sense of weakness in the face of adversity.
King of Cups Reversed
The King of Cups reversed suggests emotional instability and a disconnect from your feelings. This may manifest as manipulation or an inability to express love openly, causing turmoil in relationships.
