Upright
The strength needed here is gentle. Strength shows a hand calming a lion, not a fist. In your situation, patience, warmth and self-control will take you further than force. That applies both to others and to your own strong feelings. You can handle more than you think, without needing to prove it.
Reversed
Self-doubt has taken over, or the wild part of you has started steering. Perhaps you feel weak even though you have carried a lot, or you push anger and worry down until it leaks out in the wrong place. Be kind to what is frightened in you. Gentleness toward yourself is also a kind of courage.
