The Chariot is all about moving forward into uncharted territory, leaving your comfort zone behind.
When this card comes up in a reading, is your personality or year card, the emphasis is on growth and self-development, so be prepared to make some decisions that can be seen as risky or perhaps uncomfortable.
It's never easy letting go of what you know in favour of the unknown and pursuit of distant dreams and goals.
But this card may be a sign that you simply have to get off your favourite armchair and out into the fresh air of possibilities and opportunities.
Whether it's turning a business idea into reality, sorting out your love life, moving home, improving your fitness, or tackling any other lifestyle issues—harness the energies of The Chariot for progress and positive change.
The Chariot in the Tarot suggests forward movement, momentum, travelling, action, change, conquest, control, determination, overcoming challenges and victory.
Victory and achievement are within your grasp, but the Chariot is also a reminder that it won't be easy, and you may well encounter struggle and tension along the way.
But it is exactly the hard parts of your journey that will help you grow and live the life you want to live.
You may need to
- learn to balance opposing forces, just like the coachman has to lead two horses into the same direction. It's your time to lead
- develop resilience, self-discipline and determination to succeed. It's your time not to give up but persevere
- learn to assert yourself and take control of situations or aspects in your life, which need resolving
Astrologically, the Chariot is linked to the zodiac sign Cancer and the element water.
There is a strong link to emotions, so you may have to learn to control negative emotions such as anger, jealousy or other aggressive impulses.
What to avoid: fear of change, apathy, impatience, recklessness
