Overall, I’m mildly pleased with this one. It’s pretty simple, but I keep feeling like there’s something missing from it. I might re-do it, though not likely. I think the part that bugs me is the mountains in the background. And…Is it totally geeky that I looked up a lion’s average height to get the right scale for the model?

Strength symbolizes our ability to overcome, or at least calm, our primitive, primal instincts, as symbolized by the lion. The maiden has a white dress to symbolize her purity. She is the one doing the calming. In traditional decks, she is seen holding the lion with a serene face, showing that it is not physical strength she is using to overcome the primal instincts, rather internal strength. By doing this, she has made the primal instincts manageable and has them completely under her control. Her internal beast is calmed. The mountains in the background symbolize our aspirations and goals.

Of course, there are many different meanings for each card as it will vary from person to person, so my meaning and your own could very well differ.
