The Chariot

Images from the Laughing Eye Weeping Eye tarot, the Rider-Waite Smith tarot, and the Colorful Tears tarot

The Chariot is the push to get up and go. Your dreams are reachable.

Victory is yours for the taking when you’re clear about your aspirations. You might not know precisely how to reach your goals, but determination and focus will kick-start your journey.

While you don’t need to have everything figured out, it’s important to have a basic sense of the terrain. You might create a rough map of where you’re going, how to get there, and the roadblocks you’ll encounter. In other words, you’re in the early stages of building your strategy.

The Chariot doesn’t wait around. They meet with colleagues to get a leg up, collaborate, or make connections that help them realize their plans. You might need to get others on your wagon. You can only do that if you put yourself out there.

If this card is drawn about a relationship, it’s a reminder to stick to your relationship goals and needs. Know what you want and deserve, and don’t veer off course. To do so would see your chariot driving in reverse.

The Chariot could indicate the need to refocus on what matters most in a reading about spiritual and personal growth. For you, success may be living well, focusing on self-care, or rethinking ideas surrounding achievement.

Other meanings equate this card with vehicles and movement. This card could indicate a connection with the automotive industry or travel. You might be moving, uprooting, or doing some globe-trotting. The Chariot is on the go!

When drawn reversed, the Chariot indicates a change in direction, confusion about how to proceed, or, on a psychological level, self-sabotage. There might also be interruptions or delays to plans from external forces; a reroute might be needed.

The energy of the Chariot is willful, positive, and deliberate. Embrace the doing mindset and know that success is coming.
