Rider-Waite-Smith · 1909

Na posição vertical

Strength closes the lion's mouth not with a fist but with a hand on its jaw. The hard thing in front of you does not need more force — it needs steadier presence: the calm voice in the tense meeting, the kind word to yourself at 2 a.m. Your gentleness is the strongest tool in the room.

Invertida

Reversed, force is leaking: irritation at small things, white-knuckled control, or tenderness rationed to everyone but yourself. This is depletion, not weakness. Feed the animal properly — sleep, food, one honest boundary — and the calm returns on its own.
