Strength and Temperance

Two of the cardinal virtues drawn together, and the tradition reads them as the same disposition applied to different problems. Strength is patience with a living thing; Temperance is patience with a proportion. The pair is quiet, favourable and slow.

Associated with a relationship handled by continuous small kindness rather than by grand correction. Read well.

Read for steady, moderate work over a long period. The pair is favourable and notes it is rarely noticed while it is happening.

Keep doing the small version. This pair does not reward the decisive gesture and it does reward the hundredth repetition.
