Strength

In a nutshell

Gentleness that doesn't back down.

Upright meaning

Not the strength of forcing something into submission — the strength of staying calm and steady with something wild (a fear, a person, a situation) until it settles on its own. Patience is the power move here. You don’t need to fight this.

Reversed

In a nutshell: The patience ran out before the fight did.

Self-doubt, or strength that’s turned into force because patience ran out. Could also mean you’re depleted — trying to hold steady with nothing left in the tank. Rest before you try to be strong again.
