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.

Jeez I don't remember it being so painful. That grimacing look on Pedro's face as those spikes were being pulled through. Poor guy. And I wonder what was on the cotton swabs? Anesthetic? An antiseptic? No blood though. Very nice diamond, lucky guy. Don't remember mine being so involved but then again I got ears pierced back in the day late 70's in some tattoo shop here in Jersey. Very bloody too.
Very brave guy!Wow,how he handled the pain!
