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.

This is an exquisite cover!
Sooo sexy!
How could it not be when it is of Marvin & Andres???
The two of them are breath-taking...
Someone once commented that they were surprised that the two of them hadn't spontaneously combusted while having sex. I fully expect it to happen any day now.
Good gracious me. I always knew I should have taken a desk job...LOL
