Strength
The picture · Bright face · Shadow · Way through
Every card has four faces: what the picture shows, the bright face it turns when the situation supports it, the shadow when the same root is overdone or stuck, and the way through that the picture itself draws.
A woman gentles a lion's jaws with bare hands
Winning by patience and gentleness, not force
Endurance ground down into self-suppression
The lion is already yielding — it bites only fear
As your card of the day
If Strength is the first card you draw today, the day leans toward “Winning by patience and gentleness, not force”. When it tips toward “Endurance ground down into self-suppression”, remember the way the picture draws: The lion is already yielding — it bites only fear.
