Tarot card Chariot, meaning and combination

If the chariot fell out

If you get a card, then you are ready to move forward. The past is left behind where it belongs. This is a serious leap forward. The fortune teller has left the usual circle and moves forward. In search of freedom, ambition, trying to find what was lost a long time ago. According to modern tarot readers, in other cards the loss of the past carries fear and heaviness. But the Chariot gives courage and curiosity.

†The Chariot teaches us that Human Will exists only when it is controlled by man himself. This is the lasso of the struggle that we wage with ourselves and with life’s difficulties. The Chariot says that honesty, nobility and patience will help you cope with any of the most difficult difficulties.

This card is both strength and dexterity (otherwise you won’t be able to control the Chariot) and fear (travel into the unknown). We need to learn. Moreover, a lot.

This is a card of hope. We can reach any heights. You just have to want it.

Arcana and man

You are filled with energy, hit the road, it will be the discovery of a new world. But remember, the chariot flies fast, the path is full of sharp turns. Let your mind guide you, but do not rid you of feelings and emotions.

The Chariot Tarot card indicates that you are a person capable of controlling, if not fate itself, then, in any case, the events created by it. You have either already proven your strength and ability to overcome obstacles, or you are just preparing to demonstrate your power.

Usually it predicts to the fortuneteller that soon some event will happen in his life that can raise this person to another level of success. Test your strength, and subsequent triumph is guaranteed to you.

Direct and reverse meaning

In the upright position, the card means movement, vigorous practical activity. The card also predicts good luck in work and long journeys. It is interpreted as a symbol of a righteous life.

Tarot card Chariot - man

The Chariot Tarot card depicts a strong-willed and fearless person. The appearance of this card in a reading indicates that you are drawn to success. You have a will. To get what you want most. However, the character of the Chariot is more of a gilding; there may also be more of a gilding, façade. It is used by those who have not yet achieved success, but are confident in their coolness. In order to get what he wants, such a person is prone to conflicts and violence.

Love and relationships

The Chariot Tarot card typically signifies the importance of self-love. Before committing to a serious relationship, take some time for yourself and evaluate your emotional needs. If you've already invested in a long-term relationship, make sure to take care of yourself first. Remember that you can assert your individuality and strive for self-improvement without leaving your loved ones behind, but in the near future, it may be important to prioritize your own goals. Some read The Chariot as a sign of overcommitment in a relationship. You may be pursuing someone too much or smothering your significant other. Take a step back and re-evaluate your actions and goals.

Career

Being overly concerned about how your colleagues perceive you is holding you back. Everyone strives to challenge your ambitious ideas, but you need to stand your ground. Having confidence in your ideas will pay off. Try not to micromanage—look at the big picture instead. If you're looking for a new job, consider transportation, software, or quality control.

Money

You are about to reach your financial peak. The Chariot Tarot card promises either windfall profits or an increase in wages. If you have any debts, now is the time to pay them off. If you don't have debt, consider buying a vehicle - such as a bike or car - or a plane ticket.

Health

No one is stopping you from swimming. But don't forget that your high energy levels won't last forever. Your increased vitality should be spent on fitness. Results will come to you much easier than you thought.

Combination with the suit of Swords

Falling out together with the suit of Swords, the upright and inverted Chariot acquires the following meaning:

Ace - mental heaviness, anxiety;
King – flexibility, adaptability;
Queen - wisdom, acceptance;
The knight is a dark but effectively helping force;
Page – naivety, inexperience;
2 – reconciliation;
3 – lack of reciprocity;
4 – inspiration is very important;
5 – melancholy;
6 – new achievements;
7 – fraud;
8 – trial;
9 – severe illness;
10 – emergency surgery.

Reversed card

An inverted card speaks of the unfavorable influence of others, of uncertainty. May mean unexpected legal cases. It’s worth taking a closer look at your own behavior: aren’t you inclined to exaggerate your strengths, which sometimes leads to sad consequences? Or maybe you are too capricious and don’t listen to anyone’s advice if it goes against your opinion? There is a danger that at some point you will not reach the top you need and will lose this game.

Love and relationships

Don’t even think about dragging your significant other to the registry office and don’t put pressure on them. Otherwise, disaster is inevitable. The timing is not right for making any major decisions in a relationship. Slowing down should not necessarily be seen as a bad thing. By taking the time to truly enjoy your relationship, you can build stronger, more lasting bonds.

Career

Drive and ambition are the main components of the symbolism of the Chariot tarot card. The position of the lasso does not affect anything here. Although, the reversed chariot tarot card advises you to reconsider your situation. You may be doing too much work or trying to complete tasks that you are not ready for.

Money

Avoid large investments or commercial transactions. As the saying goes, “patience is a virtue,” and your bold actions can backfire. Take the time you need to fully understand a proposal before committing to it. Remember that calculated and wise action is the key to success, and that a good strategist sometimes takes no action at all.

Health

As with the Chariot Tarot card upright, a reversed Arcana card indicates that you are experiencing a burst of motivation and energy. It's important to focus that energy correctly and know when you're putting it into destructive ways. Managing your own desire to succeed can be as difficult as finding motivation, but your victory depends on finding that healthy balance between reflection and action.

If there is a will, any obstacles can be overcome.

Person's character

The Chariot, which denotes a specific person in the layout, is characterized by constant dynamics. This is a person immersed in self-development in any of its manifestations - sports, work, self-knowledge through spiritual practices, combining study and part-time work, etc. His mind is built in such a way that he is able to perfectly control both logical thinking and impulses and feelings.

The main character traits of the person associated with Charioteer are:

constant movement forward, the desire to achieve each subsequent goal without a drop of doubt;
ambition, a sense of superiority over others, in extreme cases - arrogance;
love of travel or travel, movement, conscious choice in moving;
a penchant for heroism, unexpected for others, but internally thoughtful and balanced actions;
energy, requiring the search for new ways of self-expression and application, sometimes leading to an abrupt end to the previous life.

A person designated by the Chariot in the Tarot is able to show courage, because he is confident in victory and a successful outcome of any business. It is full of various contradictions and opposites. But he does not waste time and energy on overcoming and leveling his own impulses, but uses their energy for his own good. This is a person who subtly feels the world and acts according to its laws, which deserves constant growth above the previous level of development.

The Chariot of the Gothic Tarot by Joseph Vargo

How to work with the dark Vargo Tarot deck.

Tarot card Chariot

The goal is already there. It's time to move forward. The main thing for the Chariot card is not to lose control and balance. In traditional Tarot schools, the Chariot means war, battles, heavenly punishment, Egyptian executions, victory over competitors and opponents, overcoming obstacles, support in problems. Now you can emerge victorious from a difficult story, defeat Fate. The success of the Chariot is the result of effort, not accidents.

In ancient tradition, this card is a natural sign of Fate. It is especially important if this card falls in a hopeless situation. Previously, we were either slowing down or marking time. Now you don't have to stop. The Chariot is the end of stagnation and the beginning of a new period of strength, cool, well-thought-out plans and energetic actions. An upcoming event will take us to a new level of success. The Chariot is not only an improved Self, but also a new stage in life. Take risks, take on new projects and be prepared for adventures. Like the Seven of Wands, the Chariot is about overcoming speed bumps.

If the Chariot appears in a reading for the future, this means that the fortuneteller will achieve his goal. And that events will develop. Cards adjacent to the Chariot will tell you not only what is preventing you from moving forward, but also at what cost you can achieve your goals.

Perhaps the attempt to move forward towards your goals conflicts with the surrounding reality. It's not scary. The main thing is that efforts must be made with a certain amount of force at a certain time.

Now we need to carefully think through every step, otherwise there will be a global mess. There is still a risk. If we lose our balance, we will fall and roll over. The main thing in the layout is which cards are adjacent to the Chariot.

Get ready to change your usual environment. Or go on a trip. Or communicate with someone who is very far away.

The Chariot symbolizes Movement and Victory

Past, present and future

While Chariot is good in any position, in relation to the past situation it is the least desirable state. The Chariot Tarot card, in terms of the past, represents the overcome obstacle that led you to your current success. Your hard work and dedication has paid off, whether it's in the form of money, a diploma, or a completed art project. However, most people hope that their great achievements have not yet arrived. Therefore, having the Chariot in a past position may mean that your greatest victories are already behind you. The Chariot in the present means that you are about to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Sometimes getting everything you want can be a curse in itself... But more often than not, your reward is welcomed with open arms. The future position is perfect for the Chariot Tarot card. You should be filled with energy. Remember, the challenges you are currently facing or yet to face will be overcome. Success awaits you beyond your struggle, and it is yours. Exactly accurate!
