Strength
Strength meaning: Strength speaks to courage, gentleness, patience. Not the fist — the hand on the lion's jaw. The fierce thing in you is tamed by patience, not violence.
Upright
Strength. Not the fist — the hand on the lion's jaw. The fierce thing in you is tamed by patience, not violence. Meet your own intensity with kindness and it will work for you.
Reversed
Reversed, the patience has run thin — forcing what needs coaxing, or doubting a strength you plainly have. Soften the grip; you're stronger than the panic says.
Strength in Love, Work & Self
Gentle strength — patience over force. Meet the intensity, yours or theirs, with a soft steady hand.
Quiet courage and stamina win here, not brute pushing. Tame the hard thing with patience.
The fierce part of you is tamed by kindness, not violence. Be gentle with your own lion.
