Question Strength as Outcome


What does it mean when the outcome to a relationship reading is Strength (clarified by the 6 of Cups, if that helps?)

I used the Snapshot Relationship spread found on AT, and the above was the outcome. I'm not sure what it means at all. Does it mean resisting the past? Can Strength also mean overcoming something...in this case, with 6 of Cups, the past?

Funny thing is that I saw someone here in the forums write that the 6 of cups often describe on and off again relationship. (and it clicked for me to ring true with past readings I had done)
It could be why strength is neccessary.

I would see this as perhaps having the Strength to remain friends.

I would see that you have the strength to deal with the past.

The Fatal Vest


When, in time, after his labours were completed, Hercules returned {Strength = Hercules; 6 cups return}, his lover, decieved into believing hercules had cheated on her and venomous with jealousy, executed her betrayal, giving him a vest that had been dipped in poison and killing him.

The past [6 cups] is a poisened chalice [6 cups/strength], let your passions be ruled by your head not your heart [strength].

Another antique figure associated with the strenght card is Samson, again in terms of relationships a similar tale of betrayal and destruction [in connection with which note strength is followed in numercal sequence with the hanged man, also called the traitor, and death].
