Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.
This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.
What? Who was that? Now you know I luv ya. But you also know, being born in the 60s, starting to figure it out in the 70s, and being Metalized in the 80s, if a song isn't dleivered with the right, heavy sound, I'm trained to dislike it. For we, of the guitar persuation of music, couldn't care less (in most cases) what the message was, as long as it was delivered in a way that moved our bones, rattled our souls and got to inside our heads.
They could be singing about God, love and dancing around the rosebush for all I care. But if I don't get (or like) the delivery the message is lost.
Great! Now a gay guy is asking me to view his webcam on Yahoo.
