Meaning upright

The Chariot tells you that you have both a direction and the strength to hold to it. With firm will and focus you'll overcome the obstacles that stand in your way. Movement forward is coming soon.

This card is about victory through determination and self-control. When you hold the reins firmly, you'll get where you want to go. Drive with confidence, but don't lose your direction.

Meaning reversed

In the reversed position, you're losing control or being pulled by opposing forces. One part of you wants one thing, another wants something else, and the chariot stands still. The journey is being postponed.

It can also mean pushing at everything by force. When you try to control everything, you wear yourself out and get nowhere. The card invites you to find your direction before you set off.

Love & relationships

The relationship is moving forward, you may even set off on a shared journey. You have a clear direction and pull together. Movement suits you.

In the reversed position, each of you pulls in a different direction. A shared goal is missing and the relationship stalls.

Work & career

Career advancement or a successful negotiation is taking shape. When you pursue your goal with purpose, you'll reach it. Your energy drives the project forward.

In the reversed position, the project is stuck in place. Too many directions at once is slowing progress.

Finance

You have your money under control and are pursuing a clear goal. Discipline and direction are helping you. You're moving at the right pace.

In the reversed position, swings and unchecked spending come along. Your money is slipping out of your hands.

Health

You have plenty of energy and a desire to move, your body is driving you forward. Sport and activity suit you now. Make use of that strength.

In the reversed position, there's a risk of exhaustion from trying to steer absolutely everything. Allow yourself some rest too.

Advice for you

Hold the reins of your opposing forces. Persevere.
