Chariot - Vii Senior Arkan
In the astrological field, the Chariot is patronized by the planet Mars, as the triumph of the winner. This planet is responsible not only for wars, but also for victories in them. She first gives a test of the elements, and then with copper pipes. Mars rules the passions.
The planet Mars rules the constellation Aries, which reflects the VII Arcanum in the form of a passionate impulse of the hero.
Other names for the Chariot: Lord of the Triumph of Light, Success, Carriage, Child of the Almighty Waters.
Description of the Arcana
On the Arcana, in his victorious procession, a luxuriously dressed charioteer is depicted, moving on a rich cart pulled by two sphinxes. The driver's body is covered with protective ammunition, giving out in it an experienced, confident warrior, aimed at success.
In the hands of the driver is a spear, which also symbolizes the rod of power. The decoration of the carriage suggests that the driver belongs to the majestic persons. The crown crowning the warrior's head also speaks of his high status. There is no doubt that the driver is a warrior. He is not just a warrior, he is a triumphant who celebrates victory.
This is not only a victory over enemies, it is a victory over circumstances, a victory in a battle with obstacles, sometimes very difficult and contradictory. But he earned the right to march with his head held high, confidently looking into the distance, not turning around and not looking around.
In the deck of the Age of Aquarius, the charioteer on the VII Arcanum even more indicates his belonging to a warrior-commander: in his hands he holds not only a regal scepter, but also a naked double-edged sword, sparkling in the sun. The driver does not wear a crown, but his gold ammunition and a developing expensive red cloak make it clear that this personality is far from simple.
The four-sided chariot is crowned with a splendid canopy supported by four columns. They symbolize the four Elements by which the world is ruled.
The chariot is pulled by two huge but obedient sphinxes. One is black as night and the other is perfectly white. These sphinxes speak of the inner opposition, of belonging to Light and Darkness, but in this case, both sphinxes are harnessed to one cart and move in the same direction.
The unity of opposites, duality that has become a single whole, a single path of multidirectional forces - this is the essence of the victory of the royal charioteer. Only by achieving inner harmony, only by subduing and equalizing all forces, can one get the real pleasure of a triumphant.
The city remained in the background behind the driver. This is the place where he won his victory, and which he left, rushing forward to new achievements. He did not remain in the city to rest on his laurels, he is a winner, and he needs to move on.
The sacred meaning of the Chariot
Having passed the difficult path of struggle and resisting the temptations of the VІ Arkan, a person passes into the victorious VII Arkan. Here one of the most difficult and often insurmountable tests awaits him - a test with copper pipes: glory, praise to the winner. This is a test of pride and vanity.
The symbol of the city in the background suggests that, having passed the temptations of the 6th Arcanum, unprecedented opportunities opened up to man: he received power and reverence for society, which is represented in the form of a city. It symbolizes not only the inhabitants of the city itself, but also the surrounding circumstances that were created for a person in the city. The city is a person's connection with everything material, which was the object of his temptations.
The figure of the driver is separated from the city and placed in the foreground. This isolation carries several meanings. First, a person, having overcome temptations, was able to rise to a certain level in society and even get the right to be considered the chosen one, as evidenced by the crown on his head. The society did not prevent him from being chosen, but even crowned him.
Secondly, isolation indicates that a person is trying to escape from this society. He strives for new achievements, trying to get away from a new round of temptations in society, already associated with its higher level. He foresees the test with copper pipes - glory, and tries to stay in the saddle. Indeed, very often it is the one who erects on a pedestal and overthrows it.
But the driver does not see another danger - refusal of responsibility for the status that was entrusted to him. He was elected leader, and he chose to leave the tribe.
Fleeing from the temptation of glory and from responsibility for those who trusted him is symbolized by the black sphinx. This is precisely what is the reason for his agreement to move with the white sphinx in the same direction. The white sphinx is all the positive qualities that led the warrior to victory, they also drive him in his further striving.
These sphinxes move in the same direction until the driver makes a mistake. The black sphinx pushes him to this mistake - those qualities that, due to pride, prevent a person from correctly assessing the situation.
Arkan says that the driver has every opportunity to avoid this mistake by using the control rod in his hands. He can control the situation, although this is only for a short time: the further away from the city, the less the power of his royal rod.
The chariot on which the driver moves is his experience gained in the process of life. It is he who carries the person and it is from this position that the person drives the chariot. But life goes on, which means that the gaining of experience continues. Thus, a person must be very careful, because at any moment the chariot can bump into a stone - to create circumstances for obtaining a new experience.
Mythological correspondence of the Chariot
In mythology, the Chariot corresponds to legends associated with exploits, but this is not a pure victory. For example, the myth of Phaethon says that a brave and impudent young man was able to persuade his father Helios to let him take control of the solar chariot. In the hope of his solemnity, Phaethon could not cope with the frisky horses, and the chariot set fire to the Earth. Gaia demanded punishment from Zeus for the impudent young man. Phaethon was struck by lightning and died in Eridan.
Another telling legend may be the myth of Icarus, who flew too high on his wings, but did not cope with the set goal. He strove for the Sun, not appreciating the danger awaiting him at the height of triumph. This myth perfectly demonstrates the need to curb pride after obtaining the desired result, it can turn into an executioner at any time.
Perhaps, for a person who is well aware of the legend of Icarus, the Chariot will never foreshadow the need to return to the abandoned city in order to correct his main mistake - the inability to control the fateful chariot due to his own negative qualities.
The meaning of the straight Chariot in the layout
The chariot in the layout always denotes a leap forward. More often than not, this jerk does not happen deliberately, but spontaneously. This movement is caused by a very strong desire of a person to change something in his life. At the same time, a person is alone in his aspiration, and he breaks out of the circle of previous acquaintances, relationships, connections, interests. He begins to move along his path.
Most often, a person is driven by ambition and the desire for freedom, and he is not interested in what he leaves behind. He easily part with the past, he does not burden himself with previous obligations. The main thing is that this is due to the presence of strength, self-confidence and joy from one's own actions. He does not feel longing for the past, but surrenders completely and completely to curiosity, not afraid of risk and despite the fact that his journey may be accompanied by danger.
Most often, this card falls out as a warning at the moment when a person is in danger of dizziness from success. The card calls for a very careful assessment of the forces in order to avoid overestimating them.
The direct version of the chariot symbolizes the successful search for its place in life. She speaks of victory in any undertaking and enterprise. The cards located around the Arcanum will tell you in which particular sphere of life a person will have this breakthrough.
Quite often, in general, the Chariot indicates a trip, and this trip will always be successful.
The dark sphinx on this Arcana for a person means negative circumstances, and the white one - positive, but since they move in the same direction, this means that any situation that happens during this period will lead him to the desired goal. Moreover, even a situation with a negative connotation. This is the situation about which one can say: "There would be no happiness if not for unhappiness."
Arkan says that a person has entered a period of self-affirmation. In order for it to be marked with success, it is imperative to balance thoughts. This will help you stay on track if external circumstances and temptations stubbornly push you away from it. We need a clearly defined goal and iron determination to act, especially since everything that happens is conducive to this.
The meaning of the inverted Chariot in the layout
If the straight Arkan indicates the purposeful movement of a chariot driven by two sphinxes in one direction, then the inverted one can be described by a fable about a pike, a crayfish and a swan. Each sphinx here will pull in its own direction.
As a result of this, there can be no talk of any movement, advancement and achievements. A person is torn apart by temptations, he rushes in different directions, bringing nothing to the end. He cannot give up old, obsolete ideas. He is trying to restore past relationships, take advantage of lost connections, trust the people who let him down in the past.
This is aggravated by the fact that the ambition of the straight Chariot is also present in its inverted form. But it becomes an unsatisfied ambition, followed by suffering, worry, and self-doubt.
The card can warn that the planned trip will not take place. With the neighborhood with negative cards, we can talk about the upcoming conflict.
With such an Arcana, you need to find the strength in yourself to regain control over the mind and feelings. They are symbolized by the sphinxes, which are trying to drag the carriage in different directions. Sometimes you even need to stop them, so that later you can start a calm and purposeful run again. Where help can come from, the cards of the Minor Arcana, laid out as additional information, will prompt.
Self-development direction
The chariot during self-development indicates that there is a need to free oneself from the authority of other people's thoughts, plans, images and opinions. Despite the readiness to act, it is necessary to understand that any circumstances will be encountered on the path of life. At the same time, negative situations are the essence of the elements of promotion. They contribute to the acquisition of experience, which can be relied on in the future.
Arkan does not let you forget that every success is closely related to overcoming some difficulty or passing a difficult situation. In the case of the Chariot, it must be borne in mind that one-sided thinking can become an obstacle to self-development. It can be caused by an ecstasy of purpose and unwillingness to see "what is happening on the side of the road."
The card says that for self-development at the moment it is necessary to balance conflicting emotions. This requires increased self-control. The main leitmotif of the card is the achievement of the goal through the acquisition of experience.
The Inverted Chariot indicates that consciousness is in the state described in the fable of the swan, cancer and pike. There is a frequent change of mood in a person, he is unnecessarily restless. Unreasonable suspicion is replaced by careless gullibility.
The reason for this state is poor concentration, loss of self-control. Circumstances at such moments become stronger than a person, and the mind, in search of a way out, begins to rush from one extreme to another. In this case, movement on the path of self-development must begin with the reconciliation of all internal contradictions in order to make them all work towards one goal.
Thus, a person needs to turn the chariot, return to the city he left, to the VI Arcanum, to receive new trials and new experiences.
Work
In work, as well as in any spheres of life, the Chariot indicates a breakthrough, which most often occurs on emotions. This is the first step towards independence. He manifests itself either in organizing his business, or in taking over the management of a team, for example, a promotion associated with the leadership of a department.
In the realm of business, this card says that there are specific and clear goals. A person approaches the fulfillment of the tasks assigned to him with all determination and confidence in success. He possesses skill, skill and sufficient knowledge, always takes the initiative.
The card speaks of possible breakthroughs in business: signing a very profitable and long-awaited contract, winning a tender, concluding a deal that promises a good profit. The chariot indicates that success will depend on unconventional solutions, fresh ideas, and even unpopular methods.
Very often this Arkan falls to a person who has to do something completely new and unknown. In this he may not have experience, but success will ensure him enthusiasm and assertiveness. He will always have the opportunity to get the missing knowledge.
An inverted Chariot indicates that there are circumstances interfering with work. Very often, these can be people around them who disagree with either the business policy or the conditions that are created to complete the task. In some cases, you even have to deal with sabotage.
You need to be careful in the team, because the card speaks of the presence of people in it who are not passionate about one idea, but strive to promote each one of their own. Everything is aggravated by the fact that the person on whom the alignment is being made, most likely, overestimated his capabilities and took on an unbearable burden. As a result, there comes a period when people stop trusting him, preferring to cooperate with someone else. He loses authority, and hence the ability to lead.
The card warns that at the moment it is impossible to sign an important contract, to conclude a deal. The reason must be sought in the lack of information, in ignorance of some details.
Personal relationships
The chariot in the layouts for personal relationships, both in the direct and in the inverted version, will always have a negative coloration. The only exception is the moment when it comes to a new relationship. In this case, the card speaks of passionate love, mutual enthusiasm, and the similarity of interests. She describes only the initial period of the relationship, after which the couple may begin to sober up one of the partners.
If we are talking about an already existing relationship, the Chariot warns of the departure of the partner in whose position this card falls. The reason for this departure lies in the fact that the relationship was a burden for a person, they have outlived their usefulness. In this case, a person acts under the pressure of emotions, and leaving is an impulse.
Very often such an impulse is preceded by a stormy showdown. Do not forget that Mars patronizes the Chariot, therefore, relationships under the sign of this Arcanum are doomed to manifestations of passion: either it is stormy love at the beginning, or it is a stormy showdown at the end.
The departed partner will not feel the pain of breaking up, he leaves with ease, leaving the city forever. His Chariot takes him into a new relationship. The rest will experience pain for two, since at one time he put his partner on a pedestal.
The Inverted Chariot in the alignment with a new partner suggests that a relationship with him is almost impossible. This is due to insurmountable contradictions in characters. Very often, such a card falls on partners from different social strata.
If we are talking about an accomplished alliance, then here also the leading role is played by the difference in characters, the lack of community of interests, up to the opposite of worldviews. In this case, people cannot part because of the fear of a new relationship. From year to year they maintain the agony of their relationship, not having the strength to make the final decision.
Sometimes in such unions, people hate each other. The presence of an abundance of swords in the layout suggests that hatred can reach a destructive limit. For example, it is in this state that a person can order damage to his partner. The most amazing thing is that with such a card, one can speak of "quiet" hatred, when a person winds himself up, but does not allow emotions to spill out. He may even cherish plans for revenge, while continuing to communicate "through clenched teeth."
Personality characteristic
The personality, characterized by the VII Arcanum, has all the qualities of a successful leader. A person is decisive and does not feel doubts about his decisiveness. He has remarkable willpower and ambition. His self-confidence comes from deep life experiences.
A person is inclined to show initiative in everything, to be the first everywhere, he will not give up leadership to anyone without a fight. This person always relies only on his own strength. He will not put up with the position of the follower, for his purpose is to drive the cart, and not to drag it.
A person under the sign of the Chariot is passionate in everything. This manifests itself in love, and in relation to work, and in the implementation of hobbies. At the same time, he easily says goodbye to circumstances, people and things that he no longer needs. They say about such a person that he walks over their heads.
The driver personality knows how to clearly concentrate consciousness on achieving the goal and has high self-control. A negative trait of his character can be called one-sided thinking.
The Inverted Chariot will tell about a person that he is not able to bring what he started to the end. This Arcanum, for example, can fall on a person who is usually called an eternal student. Such a person is passionately fired up with an idea, but when the strength for an impulse runs out, he cools down to this idea and begins to rush into battle for the next one.
Such a person always experiences anxiety, suspicion. He cannot concentrate, and his mood changes with surprising speed. Such people are called too fussy, making a lot of unnecessary movements.
Unsatisfied ambition makes such a person quarrelsome, demanding, passionate in sorting out the relationship. This person talks a lot, but does little. Very often, such people talk about incredible projects that have been conceived, but the matter does not go further than stories.
Health
When fortune-telling for health, you can use several layouts. You need to select one or another alignment based on the question asked. If the viewing is superficial, then you can make simpler layouts, but if you need to more carefully consider health problems, then you should turn to the complex layout of the chakra system. The layouts are done with the help of the Major Arcana, but for a more detailed decoding, you can use the Minor ones.
A simple layout for health includes a layout for 2 cards of the Major Arcana. In some cases, you can get the answer using one Major Arcana.
General state
When the VII Arcanum falls in the layout of the general condition of the body, then it says that a person is completely healthy, the body is full of strength. The physical and mental state of a person is not a cause for concern.
If the card fell out when the alignment was made to a person in a state of illness, then the Chariot shows that the illness leaves the person. A quick period of recovery and rehabilitation awaits him. He gained strength, which is enough to fight the disease.
The inverted Arcanum shows that the body is completely out of balance. This is not a disease as such, but a lack of strength. The reason may be that the person led an too active lifestyle, was too carried away by some kind of activity and overestimated his strength. With this position of the Chariot, we can talk about the presence of chronic fatigue syndrome.
For a sick person, this Arkan will indicate an aggravation of the disease. The immune system is too weakened to fight. In this case, along with the main treatment of the disease, a person should receive drugs that support the immune system.
Processes in progress
In the layout of the two Arcana, the Chariot, which is in the first position, shows the state of the bronchial system, including the trachea. Moreover, it does not matter at all in what position the Arkan is. In both upright and inverted position, it will only indicate the organ.
In the second position in the upright position, the Chariot says that the organ determined by the card in the first position is in a healthy state, all processes in it proceed according to age norms.
The Inverted Chariot says that the organ does not receive enough energy, which is why its function is weakened. At the same time, the organ may be healthy, but the lack of strength in it warns of the possibility of a disease in the near future.
Chakra diagnostics
When diagnosing by chakras, the Major Arcana are laid out sequentially on each chakra, starting from the bottom. When laying out a card, you need to clearly concentrate on the chakra. After a complete alignment, you need to look at which of the chakras the Chariot fell. You need to read the information both from the Arcana itself, and from its correspondence with neighboring cards.
Muladhara. The Straight Chariot shows the health of the organs of movement - the lower extremities, and in all their systems.
Inverted can warn of immobilization. This can be caused by some kind of disease or by the consequences of accidents. To find out the reason, you can put another senior Arkan next to it, which will prompt the event. For example, if the XVI Arkan (Tower) is nearby, then immobility will be caused by trauma, and if XIII (Death), then we can talk about surgical intervention.
Svadhisthana. A chariot in an upright position will indicate the normal functioning of the reproductive organs, naturally, in accordance with age. An inverted card will tell you about hormonal imbalance. A woman may have menstrual irregularities, and men may have problems with the prostate gland associated with a decrease in its function.
Manipura. At this chakra, the Chariot will show the normal functionality of the stomach / duodenum ligament in the direct version. In an inverted position, the Arcanum will indicate a violation of the interaction of these two organs with each other. There may be problems with gastric motility and the flow of its contents into the intestines.
Anahata. Direct Arcanum will indicate the normal functioning of the bronchial system and trachea. The inverted map shows stagnant processes in the bronchi, chronic bronchitis. If on adjacent chakras there are such cards as the Hermit (IX Arcanum) or the Hanged Man (XII Arcanum), then we can assume the presence of bronchial asthma.
Vishuddha. On this chakra the Chariot will show the healthy organs of the larynx and nasopharynx. The Inverted Chariot can tell about edematous processes in the glands, worsening breathing due to swelling of the nasal mucosa.
Ajna. The Chariot on Ajna speaks of the normal interaction of all body systems with those parts of the brain that are responsible for them. The Inverted Chariot indicates that the connection of some system with its brain center is broken. To find out which system, you need to look at all the Arcana that fell on the chakras.
Sahasrara. The Straight Chariot indicates that a person is full of strength and is in the state of a winner. There are practically no indications of physical health, but we can talk about mental health. The Inverted Chariot says that a person is in the illusion that vanity gives him. This can lead to a deterioration in general condition due to loss of strength.
Alignment for the situation
In the layouts for the situation, the card indicates that the time has come for an immediate decision. To resolve the situation, one cannot hesitate a minute, the manifestation of initiative and quick response will help events develop in the right direction.
In some cases, the Chariot says that in this situation you cannot trust anyone, but you need to do everything yourself, following your experience, skill and knowledge. In no case should you be afraid of such independence, since fate will certainly bring the right people, create favorable circumstances.
One should not assess the ongoing events, because even at first glance negative situations will lead to the desired results. This is the work of the black sphinx, which still drives the chariot forward.
Very often, situations related to travel, roads or movements, or with the need to change residence with such an Arcana, end successfully.
At the everyday level, Arkan points to any successful endeavors. The map can predict the acquisition of a new vehicle. And if the situation of an already planned purchase is considered, then the Chariot suggests that any circumstances that will accompany this transaction will somehow end successfully.
A chariot can also mean the beginning of some new relationship, and this probability increases if a person has some kind of road ahead. Arkan foreshadows a holiday romance or an affair on a business trip.
When the Chariot falls out, you can talk about luck in various small household chores. In litigation, Arkan portends a victory, sometimes even unexpected and triumphant. The chariot will also indicate that the person will be marked with some kind of award, prize, or any insignia.
If the person on whom the alignment is being made is in a state of quarrel with someone, then the Chariot speaks of a possible truce, and without the need to humiliate himself and ask for a truce.
The Inverted Chariot indicates that the situation cannot be resolved, no matter what actions a person takes for this. The reason for this deplorable state lies in disagreements, both internal and external. Neighboring Arcana in the layout will show with whom such disagreements are present, and perhaps even tell you how to avoid them.
The card says that any movement will not bring success or have every chance of not taking place. With this card, it is impossible to meet a new person, or the meeting will not lead to a permanent relationship. In fact, this is a failure in any endeavor, a misunderstanding of a partner, the inability to get a promotion. Such a card falls out when a person is told that he has taken up not his own business.
At the everyday level, the Chariot indicates a situation when there is not enough money for a long-desired thing, although there is an opportunity to acquire it at that moment. This is a bad luck card, the level of which can be characterized by a situation, for example, when a dream girl starts a relationship with her best friend.
The card does not bode well for a business trip. As a rule, with such a map, the planned cases will either not bring success, or will be completely disrupted by circumstances beyond the control of the person.
Card of the day
If the Chariot falls on the card of the day, then a person should understand that he is on the eve of “great deeds”. He should not remain passive, the card requires decisive action, and as a result, it promises success.
On this day, there will be a chance to fulfill your innermost desires and realize your most daring ideas. But to miss such a chance on this day is as easy as finding it. The day will bring unexpected circumstances that were not planned by a person in advance, it is not recommended to ignore them - this is the work of the sphinxes that guide the carriage to success. Moreover, one should not be upset if these circumstances do not seem very good.
On this day, a person can expect some kind of recognition of his talents and merits, or even a reward.
The Inverted Chariot advises not to start anything new until a clear picture of the action has been built. This is the case when a person is told: "If you do not know how to act, do not act!"
The card speaks of the failure of plans, and this can be influenced by external circumstances at any stage. With such an Arcana, it is best to refuse to implement them yourself.
Card of the year
As a card of the year, the Chariot foreshadows a rather eventful period that will be accompanied by success. There are a lot of new and interesting things to be learned, many new ideas to be realized. But the rhythm of life with such an Arcana will be too accelerated. In fact, the person will not have the opportunity to stop and catch their breath.
At the same time, with such a rhythm, the threat of fatigue comes, leading to a loss of strength and energy. If you completely surrender to such a rhythm, then a person at any, and most often, at the most inopportune moment, can lose self-control and composure, which will lead to the overturning of the Arcana.
The Inverted Chariot indicates that a person has completely exhausted his strength to deal with life's circumstances. He will feel helpless.
During this period, it is better not to start any business. It should be devoted to realizing the mistakes that led to this state, and to try to correct them. This is a good time to return to the abandoned city again, get off the chariot and start your journey again.
Arcana Council
The Chariot is the winner's card. Based on its sacred meaning, the card recommends not rushing too quickly along the path of your success, but learning to see and evaluate the events taking place on the side of the road. They help to gain the missing experience and hold back the sphinxes flying in full steam.
Driving a cart will be successful only when a person leaves his vanity and painful ambition in an abandoned city. These are good driving forces when it is possible to deliberately restrain them.
You should never forget that the crown on your head is a temporary phenomenon, if you forget about curbing your own pride while enjoying triumph. So that the victorious movement cannot be interrupted by external circumstances and the people around him, so that his own contradictions do not allow one of the sphinxes to prevail over the other, a person must strive to observe the rule of the golden mean.
“Destroying obstacles, you destroy all your enemies, and all your desires will come true,
if you embark on the future with courage, armed with the consciousness of your right.
And let the mind command you, but do not strive to completely get rid of feelings and emotions:
without them your chariot can turn over "
Papus
This is a good sign if you lack the determination and strength to make a breakthrough, be it a job, a personal relationship, or a spiritual quest. The senior lasso tarot card Chariot is a symbol of the irreversibility of changes, the implementation of intentions, the absence of obstacles on the path to success. In this article, we will consider the description and meaning in the relationship of a straight and inverted card, interpretation and combination with other cards in the layouts of love, health, career and work.
The chariot is a leap in development and a rapid movement towards the realization of the plan.
Description of the card
We can see that the Chariot maintains a balance between light and shadow, between the opposite polarities, which will be the engine of the Chariot. He is devoted to the essence of being, secrets are revealed to him and he has mystical power. This is the image of the son of the queen of heaven, the god of spring and the hero of the divine army.
The card depicts the Charioteer looking forward confidently. His chariot is being driven by sphinxes, and a scepter glistens in his hands, which speaks of profound wisdom and power. The man in armor does not just stand inside the chariot, he rises from the cube (as a symbol of evocation over the carnal), on his chest there is a square suspension.
The driver's head is crowned with the crown of Isis, and two lunar sickles Urim and Thummim are located on the shoulders, dark - on the left, light - on the right shoulder. In addition, the eight-pointed star on the crown symbolizes the connection of the Reason with the eighth Sephira (Hod).
White and black sphinxes, dark and light crescent moons clearly symbolize the two sides of the soul and the duality of the world as a whole. Moreover, this is not a negative factor, rather, on the contrary, creation is possible only in the unity of opposites, as when the left and right legs, alternately pulling forward, carry us to our goals.
There are four pillars of the Chariot, they indicate the four elements - fire, air, earth and water. Supports support the firmament - a symbol of reason and spiritual manifestations. The canopy of stars symbolizes the Priestess. The driver appears as the son of the Goddess, the very holy warrior who came to save mankind.
The Sphinxes represent a mystery, a mysterious and unknown force, by harnessing which, the Charioteer gets to various Worlds. The unity of light and shadow in him is what separates him from others and from the world, bestowing his own destiny, separating him from merging with God, where there is no “I” and no manifestations of personality.
The general meaning of the Chariot card
Tarot card Chariot is rapidly changing everything that is, leaving no chance for the usual circle of things. It is a symbol of a quantum transition, a leap in development, expansion and the intensity of passing through life stages, quickly overcoming difficulties and taking turns.
If your question is about a problem, you can interpret this card as a sign of the already completed first step towards resolving this problem or situation. The Chariot also speaks of a change in the usual picture of the world and familiar forms, however, in this sense, a person is already full of strength and determination to move forward, because jumping from an accelerated cart is not the best solution.
Active action

For example, if the situation was like a swamp for a long time and you were suffocating while in it, the Chariot will obviously not leave everything as it is. It gives impetus to any process, and this is not spontaneous joy or an illusion of acceleration, but quite material energy that must be used for the good.
This Arcanum is always about entering a new level of being, when we can think in other categories, and important events begin to happen around us, the right people meet, etc. We seem to be in the right place at the right time.
In an unfavorable card environment, he can talk about quarrels, scandals, conflicts, disagreements. The meaning in the traditional sense is a war or a thunderstorm, where there is an image of the chariot of the prophet Elijah.
Forward to the future
Traditionally, the Chariot will mean developing events and the achievement of goals. In this case, the card environment will tell you exactly how this will happen, what will be a possible obstacle along the way, and what needs additional attention from our side.
Among other things, there is always risk in the map, as in any movement at speed, so you need to remain vigilant and attentive to what is happening, you cannot abruptly turn off the chosen path.
The lasso often appears in the scenario when a person has completed some next life stage and is ready to move on, feels strength and energy.

The symbolic expression of the Chariot is in strength, speed and dexterity (it is not so easy to control the Chariot), but also in a new experience, in discovering new lands on a metaphorical journey. It follows from this that you need to remember about caution so as not to overwork and not be complacent, otherwise you can lose control.
Personality description
The chariot often describes a person aspiring to power and endowed with ambition. And also all those who are currently at the top of life and experience peak states of success in a particular area. This is the image of a person who is “on horseback” through life, when he thinks large-scale and bravely moves forward, overcoming barriers and obstacles, like an arrow flying at a target.
Positive features
The key qualities of such a personality are willpower and discipline, an outstanding mind and fortitude, agility and speed. It is relentlessly moving forward with intention and conscious effort. Such a person is focused on the process, he knows where he is going and is ready to overcome difficulties.
The Chariot Map draws attention to the need to be in a clear mind, controlling processes, and to adequately respond to changing conditions in the external world. There is no place for rest and relaxation, a person sometimes has to make truly heroic efforts to achieve the desired result.
This is a card of a person who knows how to control his own life, establish rules and follow them in a disciplined manner. However, this happens very quickly, the processes have to be monitored in dynamics and at speed, so there is no time to think for a long time
In addition, such a person has a quick mind and is able to quickly make the right decisions in the face of constantly changing circumstances. He rises above vanity and emotions in order to strive for his goal. He knows how to control himself and follows the path of development, not getting involved in the temptations and provocations of the world around him. He realizes that development stems from a potential difference, therefore he is not afraid of life's circumstances, remains alert and involved in what is happening.
Negative traits
Fear of not being able to cope with oneself, succumbing to cowardice and saying that it is too hard and “I don’t need anything”. However, abandoning one's path is punishable by worse than all other mistakes. And if you are destined to be in power, or to bear this or that responsibility, you need to boldly follow your path and trust what is happening.
If a person is at the beginning of the path, does not fully realize the magnitude of his task and can take on too much, this leads to overload and the fall of the Chariot. In addition, the path of destination abounds in various sections, where it can be narrow and slippery, so you need to be careful, especially if the Tower is visible next to the Chariot in the layout, which just indicates a possible fall.
On a deeper level
A moment of insight, insight that unfolds our consciousness and transforms our personality. This is a card about how to quickly learn how to control your body and mind, treat this process more carefully and not underestimate its importance. To learn to see the plan behind all situations and to use all the forces of the inner world at the service of development, without evaluating good or bad.
A chariot in this sense is about movement inward and transformation that goes on in quantum leaps, when yesterday everything was the same as before, and today we cannot be the same, we need new knowledge and new meanings of being.
Self-motivation, discipline, and emotional control serve to make rapid progress, achieve goals, and successfully navigate the paths. Arkan expresses masculinity and fearlessness, remarkable physical strength, bordering on mystical, strength of mind and victory of will.
A warrior filled with magical power, a crowned conqueror, he is an instrument of manifestation of the Divine will. The ability to hold the reins is not easy for him, he is forced to make every possible effort. But he will still arrive at the destination, reach the goal, and nothing can stop him.

For a career and work
Often the Chariot speaks of power, high position, management of an enterprise, a team during periods of hectic practical activity and energetic advancement of affairs. High positions and career growth pass along this card.
The Tarot chariot, meaning is a business card, where there is always a place for war and the seizure of new territories and markets, where there is competition and the taste of victory. Some interpretations advise to prepare for changes when a change of power, regime, laws, price hikes, the need to switch to new technologies are coming.
Including this Arkan talk about teamwork, where there is a place in different ways, but everyone is moving towards a common goal.

One of the traditional interpretations of this map in the housing aspect is expensive, prestigious housing and the corresponding costs of its maintenance.
For love and relationships
On the one hand, for a lonely person in this Arcana there is no place for personal relationships, only the path of a lone warrior who strives to achieve his goals and cannot be diffused into several large tasks. This is not the best card for creating a union, because it contains a lot of individuality and a person's personal path, self-development and movement towards individual goals.
Most likely, the meaning of this card in a love story lies in the recommendation to go your own way, marking the milestones of success and victories on it. This is a card of a very strong personality who finds it difficult to be connected in a relationship. Here you need to pay attention to the card environment. In the presence of appropriate cards, the Chariot can herald a holiday romance or a love adventure on the road, but not a lasting and long-term union.
The Charioteer is as reckless as the Jester, his confidence is like the faith of the Hermit, and his will is in no way weaker than the will of the Emperor.
On the other hand, in the scenario of a person who is worried about the current relationship, this card may be about reconciliation and agreement, about balancing the two and ending the war, moving in the direction of the already chosen common goals and values. If there is a positive card environment, you can safely talk about achieving balance in a couple, about harmonious communication and mutual assistance, however, surrounded by negative cards, it can be interpreted as discord in the family, misunderstanding and endless struggle.
The tarot chariot, meaning in a relationship can speak of a mismatch of needs and interests in a couple. It can mean a desire to change everything, to break out of a hopeless relationship, when a decision has already been made, but there is not enough fortitude to follow it. Then the card indicates that it's time to do it.
One of the meanings of the card is withdrawal from the relationship, or distance from the situation, and it is not flight, but conscious withdrawal. Sometimes the Chariot is a sign of a long distance relationship, where partners are at a great distance from each other.
Among other meanings, the Charioteer symbolizes sexuality and strength, this is a map of attraction and vivid manifestations of love passion. Along the Chariot, as they say, the bridles break (sometimes this is a purely physiological interpretation). The element of submission and domination is strong in this card. The other side may feel the next morning "worn out" to complete exhaustion, "rolled up" at all turns and generally "got under the horse."
The driver is not attached to a specific person, having won a victory, he jumps on, looking for new objects of conquest. In addition, this person may be incontinent and impatient. Does not accept or accept rejection, which can hurt a partner and hurt his feelings. In love, as in war, he tends to conquer without asking the consent of the other side, be it a beloved, wife, husband or child.
For health status
The chariot speaks of a strong and resilient body, which is in very good condition. This card promotes all kinds of sports, activities that require discipline and willpower. It can also speak of a readiness to get rid of some bad habit and thereby experience a new quality of life.
If your question is about an illness, then it can mean a change for the better, an alleviation of the condition and a complete exit from it.

The traditional interpretation of this map is injuries in battle, which in a modern manner can be interpreted as road accidents, accidents, injuries sustained at speed. Less often - heart attacks, strokes.

The card can be interpreted as surrender, loss, failure and lack of movement, stagnation, stagnation. This can mean the collapse of hopes and plans, loss in a particular area of life, despair and unwillingness to move forward.
It can also talk about dismissal, dismissal and financial difficulties for the company. An Inverted Chariot indicates a lack of balance and uncontrollable emotions. She talks about a misunderstanding of the moment when it is necessary to accelerate with all his might, getting out of the swamp, and when it is necessary to slow down in order to go through a slippery turn. An inverted card can be about a person who is dealt a step before winning, hesitates and loses when he only has to make the final dash.
In the aspect of health, the Tarot Chariot inverted can indicate various problems, more often, of course, sports injuries, but depression from overexertion, including postpartum depression, do occur. A person resembles an ostrich hiding its head in the sand when danger appears, which does not help him to hide from reality and interact with it.

The main meaning of the card
Direct position
The meanings of the Chariot are: a clear awareness of the purpose of their aspirations; desire for cardinal changes; assertion of one's own will; triumph. This Arcanum says that a person is ready to break away (or has already broken away) from the circle of old tasks, interests, way of life; now he is confident and ready to move forward to new perspectives. The chariot can also mean courage, curiosity, curiosity as the driving forces of effective advancement without fear of risks and possible failures; moreover, it is precisely those courage, curiosity, curiosity that push a person to discoveries, research, travel. And if, along with the Chariot, the Magician, the Priestess or, for example, the Star also falls out, then this is absolutely wonderful. For the Magician in this situation means that a person is his own master, has all the means and capabilities to achieve success, not depending on anyone or anything; Priestess - that a person will be able to comprehend all the secrets and secrets; Star - that the desires and aspirations of a person are approved by the Higher Forces, and luck will always be on his side.
Inverted position
The Inverted Chariot indicates that the situation is uncontrollable, that the obstacles to achieving the goal are serious enough. Also, an inverted Chariot can mean a loser, stubbornly walking the wrong path, a rebel or an adventurer, and if it is a situation, then a quarrel, military action, problems with the law. In some combinations of this Arcanum, in an inverted position with other cards, additional meanings and shades may arise. For example: Chariot + Jester = active, but completely chaotic actions; Chariot + Hierophant = self-confident actions that do not take into account anyone's interests except their own; Chariot + Hermit = inadequate, too drastic actions of a person, which will create an atmosphere of complete loneliness and rejection around him.
Love and relationships
Direct position
For dealings on relationships, the Chariot is a tangible dynamic in relationships; new, very important acquaintance; revitalizing relationships that have become routine. The chariot, strengthened by the Lovers, is interpreted as accents placed in relationships, and the end of confusion and omissions in them. And, say, the Chariot together with the Ace of Cups is a very definite indication that decisive action is a necessary condition for harmony and happiness in relationships to be finally achieved.
Inverted position
In an inverted position, the Chariot can be interpreted as a period of difficult, tense relationships, as well as a sign of the inability of one person to influence another. In addition, if next to such a Chariot, for example, a Three of Cups falls out, then this may mean that they are trying to bind a person with certain obligations (say, to marry). And the pair “inverted Chariot - Five of Cups” should be interpreted as an inevitable break in relations that have completely outlived their usefulness.
Career
Direct position
A chariot for a career is an independent occupation (or a decisive path to independence, working for oneself), the willingness to take risks for success, and also the fulfillment of new tasks, gaining new experience, changing the field of professional activity. The combination of the Chariot with the Ace of Wands should be considered very successful, since it speaks of a close and very intense development of events in the near future. The combination of the Chariot and Peace is of particular importance, since it symbolizes the absolutely complete achievement of all the goals set.
Inverted position
An inverted chariot for professional activity speaks of the futility of the efforts being made, of excessive assertiveness or fussiness, which cause failure. In some cases, the inverted Chariot is interpreted as unjustified ambition (with the Knight of Wands) and inability to adequately assess the situation (for example, with the Moon).
The time of passive waiting is over. The time has come for decisiveness and active action. But you need to fully concentrate on the tasks and goals ahead of you. And beforehand, it is advisable to make sure that everything is taken into account, provided for, comprehensively thought out.
