7. The Chariot - Going For It!

Sometimes I write notes on my cards - something to remind me of what I can count on whenever that card appears. My key word for The Chariot is "Success!" You can also pretty much guarantee travel coming with The Chariot too. This is all because The Chariot card marks the moment when a decision has been made. The die has been cast, the train has left the station, we've hit the road and it's too late to turn back now. When The Chariot comes up in a reading, we're no longer playing games as in the Gemini Lovers card, we've made a commitment and that's what creates success - and adventure!

The sign Cancer, ruler of the emotions, is associated with this card. The image on card is of a man in a chariot controlling a pair of sphinx. Some older cards have him handling five horses. The symbols of the man and the sphinx represent the mind controlling the emotions - both positive and negative (one sphinx is white, one black), or as with the horses, the five senses. If you consider that The Chariot follows The Lovers you see the message that once we have made a comment to a loved one - or a job, or a life path - then we must control the urge to constantly question if we made the right choice. Our eyes and ears may continue to signal us that there are better and worse opportunities out there, but we control any impulse to stray from our course. It may help to remember the song, Walk On By!

Cancer also rules the home and family. Note The Chariot is usually drawn with a sort of roof over the driver's head. At first it may seem curious that the sign of home is represented by the card associated with travel.  The idea is that where ever we travel, we are taking our family values with us. On a more mundane level the card can signify that we will be traveling and staying some place over night - literally moving our home.

When the Chariot comes up in a client's reading I think you can confidently tell them they should continue on the path they have chosen and also that while they may find themselves tempted to second guess their decision, this card indicates changing the course at this time would be inappropriate.

Speaking of changing courses, I usually begin my readings by dividing the deck into three piles and having the client pick which to read from - right, left or center. Occasionally people will wonder after saying "right" if they shouldn't have said "left" or "center." This happened so often I finally did an experiment once where I read from all three piles. They all gave pretty much the same answer but from a slightly different perspective! So I encourage you when you are doing your readings to reassure folks that they can't pick the wrong pile!

As we focus on The Chariot this week I predict we'll be aware of travel, maybe taking some overnight trips ourselves, but most of all experiencing making some decisive choices that turn out well!

I wish you much success,

Rosada
