The Tarot Chariot Traditional Meanings

 

Victory lies ahead when you channel your energies appropriately toward the finish line. Because things are lining up quickly, you may need a lot 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 like you've charted a course for your life that's as full of ups and downs as the waves in the sea. Steering a middle path will be your best defense for success.

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, regardless of the path we are on. As long as we do, our creator supports all paths.

2 Corinthians 10:4 – Weapons have divine power to destroy strongholds.

 

The Tarot Chariot in Health Readings

 

Excessive responsibility and emotional armor (suppression) cause stress, leading to emotional indigestion, stomach knots, digestive sensitivity, and tension in the chest.

The Chariot corresponds with Cancer (a Water sign) and governs the chest, breast, lungs, stomach, and alimentary canal. Problems may include water retention and bladder concerns, such as incontinence or Interstitial Cystitis. Food poisoning, toxicity, or food allergies may occur. Negative emotions or apathy (related to control issues). Passive-aggressive behavior may be an issue. Spiritual self-care is a priority. Any systemic imbalance is possible, such as hormonal imbalances or mitochondrial dysfunction. A vehicle accident is possible (skateboard, bike, motorcycle, car, boat, train, plane, etc.).

Ginger tea, fennel, and warm meals may help.
