08. Strength

The black cat and the girl each symbolize different types of strength, and their interaction demonstrates how power can be transferred and transformed between individuals.The small comfort offered by the cat, though limited in magnitude, may have a profoundly positive effect on the girl. We should never underestimate ourselves or others—at critical moments, anyone might become a source of strength for someone else.

This transference of strength allows the girl to feel supported, thereby becoming stronger herself. In turn, she is better able to care for the cat. Strength is not solely dependent on external appearance or scale—it can shift and flow between individuals and circumstances. Even what seems insignificant may hold immense energy.

The Strength card conveys not only the importance of one’s inner energy, but also the meaningful transmission and influence of strength between people. In adversity, we should maintain optimism and believe in our own capacity to face challenges. In relationships, we should foster mutual understanding, support, and collaboration—building solid bonds based on trust and respect. When the moment comes, we will be able to offer each other warmth and strength.
