You are Strength
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.
About me: "I don't pay any attention to politics."
"You should. It's only barely less than important than your heartbeat."
-Robert A. Heinlein. 'Stranger in a Strange Land.'
At certain epochs, man has felt conscious of something about himself -body and spirit- which was outside the day-to-day struggle for existence and the night-to-night struggle with fear; and he has felt the need to develop these qualitites of thought and feeling so that they might approach as nearly as possible to an ideal of perfection -reason, justice, physical beauty, all of them in equilibrium. He has managed to satisfy this need in various ways -through myths, through dance and song, through systems of philosophy and through the order that he has imposed upon the world.
Civilization requires a modicum of material prosperity -enough to provide a little leisure. But, far more, it requires confidence -confidence in the society in which one lives, belief in its philosophy, belief in its laws, and confidence in one's own mental powers... vigour, energy, vitality: all the great civilizations -or civilizing epochs- have had a weight of energy behind them. People sometims think that civilization consists of fine sensibilities and good conversation and all that. These can be among the agreeable results of civilization, but they are not what make a civilization, and a society can have these amenities and yet be dead and rigid.
