Timing
Timing: weeks rather than months. Both cards move once the first small action is taken.
Yes or no

At work
For work the pair describes a transition already underway. One card is the job you have, the other the one you are quietly qualifying for.
Money

Reversed pairing
Reversed, Strength brings self-doubt is doing more damage than any opponent. return to the small daily proof. and The Hierophant brings a rule you inherited no longer fits. you are permitted to leave the institution. Read the pair as the same story told from inside rather than outside.
