Strength and The Hermit

Adjacent in the sequence, and the order is doing the work: the lion is handled, and then the figure walks away up a mountain with a lamp. The tradition reads the pair as what follows mastering something, which is usually less dramatic than the mastering was.

Associated with somebody who has worked through something difficult and now needs quiet rather than acknowledgement.

Read for withdrawal after a period of holding something together. The pair treats that as the natural next step rather than a collapse.

The quiet afterwards is part of it. Treating it as a loss of momentum is how people undo work they have just finished.
