The Tarot Chariot Traditional Meanings

Victory lies ahead when you channel your energies appropriately toward the finish line. Because things are lining up rather quickly, it may require a great deal of cooperation on your part to avoid losing your patience. Don't allow the pace to hold you back. Keep going. You're almost there!

When the Chariot is reversed, your normal equilibrium and discipline may seem to vanish before your eyes. It may seem you've charted a course for your life that has become besotted with as many ups and downs as there are waves in the ocean. Steering a middle course will be your best defense against failure.

If, no matter what you do, it seems you can't make any real headway, push forward at a slower pace with a clear sense of purpose, renewed willpower, and fresh determination. You'll get there.

The Tarot Chariot Biblical Meanings

The Tarot Chariot represents God helping to carry us forward to where we could not otherwise go on our own. This card's meaning isn't so much about the person commanding the chariot as it is the road or path s/he is on. It's about always being aware of our path or journey in life. We must keep our ethics, beliefs, hopes, love, compassion, and faith close to us, regardless of the path we are on. As long as we do this, all paths are supported by our creator.

Keywords: Victory through faith, balance, spiritual self-control and discipline, determination, wise management, cooperation, progress, or obstacles, the wrong path, out of control, or giving up.

Food Remedies
