Strength
Keywords: courage, patience, compassion, inner mastery
Strength shows a figure dressed in white gently closing a lion’s mouth. There’s no fight and no weapon, only calm and trust. This card says real power is internal: patience, tenderness and the ability to tame your impulses without repressing them. It reminds you that you can handle more than you think. In a difficult situation, kind firmness works better than pounding the table. Your courage shows most when it’s quiet.
Reversed
Reversed, Strength can point to doubts about your worth, emotional fatigue or impulses that slip out: anger, nerves, reactions you regret later. It can also mean enduring too much, carrying too much without asking for help. Breathe before you answer and take a real break. Courage is also admitting you need support.
Love
In love it speaks of patience and tenderness that hold the bond together. Intense passions can be channeled with affection. If there’s tension, gentleness will open more doors than insistence. Your calm gives the other person a sense of safety.
Work
At work it asks for perseverance and composure with difficult clients, tight deadlines or tricky colleagues. Your warmth persuades more than pressure. It’s a good time to show calm leadership and resolve conflicts with diplomacy.
Advice
Today, answer calmly, even if the lion is roaring inside. Gentleness held steady is power too, and it saves you a lot of apologies.

We assign Strength to Fire (火): it’s the heat of 午 O, the Horse of high summer, tamed by a calm heart. In saju, well-directed Fire warms the house; without direction, it burns the kitchen.
