The Chariot (reversed)

The Chariot is the eighth card of the Major Arcana. It is associated with the Astrological sign Cancer and with the element water.

Here a man stands in a chariot with two sphinxes one white, one black, both laying down. The sphinxes represent opposing forces, compromise and co-operation is necessary for forward motion. The Chariot is not in motion. The man is not holding any reins, only a wand. The city is in the distance. He is covered by a canopy of stars and wears a crown with a laurel wreath and a star. His shoulders are adorned with crescent moons. This relates more to spiritual matters than money and earthly goods. He will have to learn to control the sphinxes and steer them towards his destination.

Reversed, the Chariot may signify that you feel as if you have very little control over your life. You may feel helpless and at the mercy of others. You will only make progress if you tie up loose ends and take charge of your destiny. You will have to charge forward in the direction you want.... yourself.

It also calls you to be aware of your own aggression and its effect on others. So dear reader, take time to reflect and tie up loose ends today. You have a journey and hard work ahead of you.

Let the past go and with it old emotions.

Blessings,
Divyasri
