Behind the Lens
I found this piece  of country  yard art on the outskirts of a nearby town. During its time, I'm sure it served as a  fine Chariot for at least one twentieth century Charioteer.  It's nice to see it still serving a purpose today.

The Card's Meaning
The Charioteer fights alone, seeking to gain the advantage by  striking  from  the  side.   His steeds  keep  the  wheels  of  his chariot turning, however, it is his control and direction that brings him  triumph.  Whether  our  challenges  be  obstacles,  circumstances,  emotions,  or human  desires, there  are times when  we must firmly  grasp the reigns  of our own  chariot and do battle for our personal victories.

In readings, the Chariot can personify  the positive  strength, confidence,  and  assertiveness required to move forward to obtain the goals we desire. However, the Chariot can also  signal a ruthless, diehard desire to win despite the cost. Success and triumph can be glorious  under the right circumstances, but only when we are certain the  sacrifices of  the battle  are worth the prize.  After all, the victory is only the beginning.

The Chariot can sometimes appear when a situation or environment  harbors the energies of hard control. At its best, hard control is not brutal;  it is  firm and direct, backed by a  strong will and great self-confidence.  Its  powerful  influences  are  required, when we wish to draw separate paths into a single direction of our own choosing.

Likewise, the Chariot can portray the influential winds of ambition and  motivation -- potent energies   that   can   provide  the   movement   necessary   to  set  our   aspirations  to   sail.
