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'm re-evaluating my music right now. It need serious updating... but my loves that will always be there are; Stevie Wonder, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, and Beyonce

About me: Melissa Gallo graduated in 2003 from NYU Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in Drama. Shortly after she started on the Daytime soap opera One Life to Live as Adriana Cramer, Dorian's long-lost daughter. During her time at OLTL, Melissa was fortunate enough to film a pilot for the N Network, and star in the independent film "Tiny Dancer" which was developed at the Sundance Lab. "Tiny Dancer" remains in post production.

She can be seen this winter doing a guest spot on the new show for COMEDY CENTRAL called "Important Things with Demetri Martin", and also doing a bit part in the upcoming comedy "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" Melissa currently resides in New York City with her very loving husband David and their very funny dog, Bella.
