Tarot · Strength
Not meeting force with force is also a way of exerting strength.

Look at the image
A figure leans toward a lion, placing both hands near its head.
Study note
Strength suits a situation that need not become a collision: gentleness and firmness can hold together, and patience often travels further than force.
Where can I hold firm without meeting force with force?
