| 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. |
