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 the colors of Shibui sock yarns! If only they were cheaper, and if only I didn't have so much sock yarn already... XD
Congrats on the resistance!
Good for you!! I passed up a second skein of Duet Sock yarn a few minutes ago...I just paid the expensive shipping for one pretty skein...so that's a little victory right?!! (I had some destash money that paid for half of that one skein!).
