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.

That second pic is one of my favorites. I don't know whose idea it was to shoot that series of pics of Francesco lying in his cage, but whoever it was I love him for it.
I know, In my dream, that is how he arrives at my house. Like a wild animal in a cage. Hahahahaha
LOL...I could imagine you would be in your element if Mr D'Macho was caged at your place and at your complete disposal...*winks*
