Strength
Not brute force, but inner mastery. A serene woman closes the lion's jaws with gentle hands, not violence. Above her head floats the lemniscate, sign of infinity and channeled spiritual energy. It is the patient courage that tames instinct through love.
Meaning
In the light · upright
Serene courage, patience, inner mastery, compassion.
In shadow · reversed
Brute force, loss of control, doubts, disguised weakness.
Mantra
“My tenderness tames what no force can subdue.”
