How to Use Tarot Cards
In my opinion, The Chariot is one of the most majestic cards in the set of 22 Major Arcana. But what does The Chariot mean? What does it stand for? Is it good? Is it bad? Does it mean what it appears to mean on the surface? This article is going to give you an in depth look at The Chariot. By the time you are done reading this, you'll know exactly what this card means and how to interpret it in a reading.
Like many of the Major Arcana, The Chariot is not what it appears to be on the surface. The key meaning of this card is the need to exercise discipline. This card is more about inner strength than it is about riding majestically through the town on your horse of gold. This card is a testament to the ability to focus on your goal and work towards it with a continued effort in order to achieve what you desire.
This card also stands for the purpose of removing obstacles in your way. It is important to have a clear path to your goals. Obstacles need to be dealt with and swiftly.
Other meanings for this card, though to a lesser degree, are honor, award or recognition for something that you've done or are about to do, depending on whether the card turns up in the fourth, fifth, sixth or tenth positions.
This card also tells of the importance to harness your energy and use it wisely. Wasted energy is wasted effort.
In the reverse key, this card indicates the wrong use of those energies and a very unstable situation. There can be some serious repercussions from the use of these energies. If there is a court card present in the spread containing The Chariot, it could mean that there is a person in your life who has no regard for you whatsoever and my very well do you harm.
This card in reverse also means possible wastefulness and overindulgence which can lead to great harm or even your downfall. In some cases, this card in reverse can indicate an overbearing attitude on your part, which could also mean an exertion of force in a situation that simply isn't necessary.
The Chariot is a fine line between discipline properly directed energy and waste and destruction. For this reason, I become quite concerned when this card appears in a spread. It can do great good or great harm.
