  • Strength: What instinct or emotion am I trying to repress for fear of it being "too much"? How can I be more compassionate with my own inner "lion"?
  • Two of Pentacles: Am I using constant movement and busyness to avoid facing my inner stillness? Where am I leaking energy by trying to please everyone and manage everything at once?
