The Chariot
The general overview of the card:
The Chariot represents victory and
pursuing self-interest or travel. According to Mary K Greer this card sometimes
can refer to military service or competitive sports. The card in this position
encourages us not to quit and to stay focused on our goal despite
opposition. The Chariot is ruled by
Cancer sign and the element is water meaning it relates to home, mother and
real estate.
Issues and Problems:
You may experience difficulties due to
opposition and lack of experience. In this position the Chariot advises against
underestimating others, being overly confident, hasteful and not thoughtful in
your decisions and actions. Avoid moving too quickly or taking rash decisions;
learn to exercise patience. The Chariot as a challenge may indicate that you
are not interested in love or doing things for enjoyment and you are more
preoccupied with the financial rewards or social status aspects.
Advice:
You are in total control now and can
focus and achieve your goals. Now is a good time to change your place of
residence or take a vacation. If you receive a job offer or an invitation to
join a project, accept it as it will advance your career. The chariot card in
the advice position announces that you will overcome all obstacles and defeat
your adversaries. Also, if you want to learn how to transact online, do Forex
or day trading this is an excellent time to do so.
In the first deck we have Mary Crawford of Mansfield Park riding a horse, rushing towards a new adventure. She says that she admires "those that are honest and rich". The Chariot speaks of movement towards success/ to achieve goals. One of the issues with this card is moving too quickly in everything you do, including speaking too much. Mary feels very confident in her position towards Edmund's heart, and is unable to see Fanny as a competitor. So, this card warns against over-confidence, and looking down at your competition. Also, this card indicates someone that will do whatever it takes to win; will consider love a game which they need to win. Mary cannot understand how Fanny does not see the great opportunity to marry her brother for financial and social reasons and totally overlooks the feelings of love. When Mary is finally rejected by Edmund she does not take long to "get back on the horse" and move on. This card suggests that you have the capacity to "move mountains" in reaching your goals, but make sure is not something you might regret in the end.
In the Tarot of the Celtic Faeries the Chariot is depicted by the Pooka. The Pooka traditionally shows up at end of October and lures "unwise children to ride his back, then he rides with high speed towards the nearest cliff and plunges over". Mark McElroy's message for this card is that there is "price to pay for progress". He advises to take time to think when an opportunity arises to figure out if it is a real potential or just a Pooka temptation. If you must take a ride with the Pooka, you must get off the horse before he reaches the cliff. Without a goal in mind, is very hard to assess progress, and to determine when you reached your destination. Now is a good time to stop a moment and plan.
Nicoletta Ceccoli's Chariot brings in a new message: you need to move forward decisively in order to be able to help others. It is also an indication of "triumph" despite "adversity", or just foretells travel.
In the last deck we are being told in the LWB that the "Beyond" awaits the Chariot which transports the "remains of material bodies". I take this as an other warning against rushing towards something, when you might not know for sure your final destination.
I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I enjoyed writing it.
