Card 82 — Courage
Fear Does Not Decide
Courage represents the choice to move forward even when fear is present. This card speaks to bravery not as the absence of fear, but as the refusal to let fear control your decisions, silence your voice, or limit your path.
This archetype embodies inner strength and self-trust. Courage rises when you acknowledge fear without surrendering to it. It is the steady resolve that says, “I will continue anyway,” even when certainty is unavailable.
Courage appears when you are standing at a threshold. This may involve speaking truth, taking a risk, leaving what is familiar, or claiming your power after doubt. The card encourages grounded action rooted in belief rather than impulse.
At its core, Courage teaches that fear is information, not authority. When you choose to act in alignment with your values, courage becomes the bridge between intention and transformation.
Core Message:
Move forward — fear does not get the final say.
