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.

i cant wait!
going to see this movie next week, looks great
I almost bought the first book in this series this week, but decided against it for the moment. I'm intrigued by it: the Catholic League or someone of their icky ilk, I believe, has their knickers in a twist about this book/film; apparently the author is not too fond of Catholicism and makes no bones about it in the book. So naturally I'm going to have to read it.
Doug - Maybe your library has them. That is how I read them. That way you get them for free. Read the whole trilogy, it is worth it to understand what is going on. The movie only covers the first book.
I'll either do that or check to see if the used books stores have them.
I can't wait to see this movie ..I love the Nicole Kidman bad role
Looking forward to the movie but I'd better start with the book before that. In a book your own fantasies come to life...
