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 love Rafael's lighthouse tours and his accent. He's very talented with editing.
Thanks for sending me this Stan! I didn't even know he had a series of lighthouse tours!
Yeah he's got a thing for light houses and has traveled the country/world finding them. I love the one he did when he visited here in Sandy Hook NJ because it's so close to me. He and his friend do a very good job adding the music and editing. It's funny that he went up to CT to see the "black" light house.
