Upright
A woman calmly closes a lion’s jaw with her bare hands — not through force, through steadiness. Upright, Strength is the kind of courage that outlasts a fight: patience with a hard situation instead of a burst of aggression toward it.
Reversed
Reversed: self-doubt, or force used where patience would have worked better.
