The meaning of the tarot chariot in love and relationship readings. Tarot Justice - full interpretation of the Justice card

Chariot – VII Major Arcana

In the astrological field, the Chariot is patronized by the planet Mars, as the triumph of the winner. This planet is responsible not only for wars, but also for victories in them. She first gives the test to the elements, and then to the copper pipes. Mars rules passions.

The planet Mars rules the constellation Aries, which reflects the VII Arcanum in the form of a passionate impulse of the hero.

Other names for the Chariot: Lord of the Triumph of Light, Success, Cart, Child of the Almighty Waters.

Description of the Arcana

The Arcana depicts a luxuriously dressed charioteer in his victorious procession, riding on a rich cart drawn by two sphinxes. The driver's body is covered with protective ammunition, revealing him to be an experienced, self-confident warrior aimed at success.

In the hands of the driver is a spear, which also symbolizes the rod of power. The decoration of the cart suggests that the driver is a majestic person. The crown crowning the warrior’s head also speaks of his high status. There is no doubt that the driver is a warrior. He is not just a warrior, he is a triumphant who celebrates victory.

This is not only victory over enemies, it is victory over circumstances, victory in the battle against obstacles, sometimes very complex and contradictory. But he earned the right to walk with his head held high, confidently looking into the distance, without turning around or looking around.

In the Age of Aquarius deck, the charioteer on the VII Arcana further indicates that he belongs to a warrior-commander: in his hands he holds not only a royal scepter, but also a naked double-edged sword, sparkling in the sun. The driver does not have a crown, but his golden equipment and flowing expensive red cloak make it clear that this person is far from simple.

The tetrahedral chariot is topped with a luxurious canopy supported by four columns. They symbolize the four Elements with which the world is governed.

The chariot is pulled by two huge but obedient sphinxes. One of them is black as night, and the other is perfectly white. These sphinxes speak of internal opposition, of belonging to Light and Darkness, but in this case both sphinxes are harnessed to the same cart and moving in the same direction.

The unity of opposites, duality that has become a single whole, a single path of multidirectional forces - this is the essence of the victory of the royal charioteer. Only by achieving inner harmony, only by subordinating and equalizing all forces, can you get the real pleasure of a triumphant.

The city remained in the background behind the driver. This is the place where he won his victory, and which he left, rushing forward to new achievements. He did not stay in the city to rest on his laurels, he is a winner and he needs to move on.

The sacred meaning of the Chariot

Having gone through the difficult path of struggle and resistance to the temptations of the VI Arcanum, a person moves into the victorious VII Arcanum. Here one of the most difficult and often insurmountable tests awaits him - the test of copper pipes: glory, praise to the winner. This is a test of pride and vanity.

The symbol of the city in the background suggests that, having gone through the temptations of the VI Arcanum, unprecedented opportunities opened up for man: he received power and veneration of society, which is represented in the form of a city. It symbolizes not only the inhabitants of the city itself, but also the surrounding circumstances that the city created for people. The city is a person’s connection with everything material, which was the object of his temptations.

The figure of the driver is separated from the city and installed in the foreground. This distinction carries several meanings. Firstly, a person, having overcome temptations, was able to rise to a certain level in society and even gain the right to be considered the chosen one, as evidenced by the crown on his head. Society did not interfere with his election, but even crowned him.

Secondly, isolation indicates that a person is trying to escape from this society. He strives for new achievements, trying to get away from a new round of temptations in society, already associated with his higher level. He foresees the test of copper pipes - glory, and tries to stay in the saddle. After all, very often it is the one who puts you on a pedestal and overthrows you from it.

But the driver does not see another danger - refusal of responsibility for the status that was entrusted to him. He was chosen as the leader, but he chose to leave the tribe.

Flight from the temptation of fame and from responsibility for those who trusted him is symbolized by the black sphinx. This is precisely the reason for his agreement to move with the white sphinx in the same direction. The white sphinx represents all the positive qualities that led the warrior to victory, and they also drive him in his further endeavors.

These sphinxes move in one direction until the driver makes a mistake. The black sphinx pushes him to this mistake - those qualities that, due to pride, prevent a person from correctly assessing the situation.

The Arcanum says that the driver has every opportunity to avoid this mistake by using the control rod in his hands. He can control the situation, although this is only for a short time: the further he moves from the city, the less power of his royal rod.

The chariot on which the driver moves is his experience gained in the process of life. It is he who carries the person and it is from this position that the person controls the chariot. But life goes on, and that means gaining experience continues. Thus, a person must be very careful, because at any moment the chariot can run into a stone - creating circumstances for gaining a new experience.

Mythological correspondence to the Chariot

In mythology, the Chariot corresponds to legends associated with exploits, but this is not a pure victory. For example, the myth of Phaeton says that a brave and daring young man was able to persuade his father Helios to let him take control of the sun chariot. In the hope of its solemnity, Phaeton could not control the frisky horses, and the chariot set fire to the Earth. Gaia demanded from Zeus punishment for the daring young man. Phaeton was struck by lightning and died in Eridanus.

Another illustrative legend may be the myth of Icarus, who flew too high on his wings, but failed to achieve his goal. He strove for the Sun, not appreciating the danger that awaited him at the peak of triumph. This myth perfectly demonstrates the need to curb pride after obtaining the desired result; it can turn into an executioner at any moment.

Perhaps, for a person who is well aware of the legend of Icarus, the Chariot will never foreshadow the need to return to the abandoned city in order to correct his main mistake - the inability to control the fateful chariot due to his own negative qualities.

The meaning of the straight Chariot in the layout

The chariot in the scenario always means a leap forward. Most often, this breakthrough occurs not deliberately, but spontaneously. This movement is caused by a person’s very strong desire to change something in his life. At the same time, a person is alone in his aspiration, and he breaks out of the circle of previous acquaintances, relationships, connections, interests. He begins to move along his path.

Most often, a person is driven by ambition and the desire for freedom, and he is not interested in what he leaves behind. He easily parts with the past, he does not burden himself with previous obligations. The main thing is that this is associated with the presence of strength, self-confidence and joy from one’s own actions. He does not feel nostalgia for the past, but gives himself entirely to curiosity, without fear of risk and despite the fact that his journey may be accompanied by danger.

Most often, this card appears as a warning at a time when a person is threatened with dizziness from success. The card calls for a very careful assessment of forces in order to avoid their overestimation.

The chariot in its direct form symbolizes a successful search for one’s place in life. She speaks of victory in any endeavor and enterprise. The cards located around the Arcana will tell you in which particular area of ​​life a person will experience this breakthrough.

Quite often in the general scenario, the Chariot indicates a trip, and this trip will always be successful.

The dark sphinx on this Arcana for a person means negative circumstances, and the white one means positive ones, but since they move in the same direction, this means that any situation that happens during this period will lead him to the desired goal. And even the situation has a negative connotation. This is the kind of situation about which one can say: “There would be no happiness if it were not for misfortune.”

Arkan says that a person has entered a period of self-affirmation. In order for it to be marked by success, it is imperative to bring balance to thoughts. This will help you not to stray from your intended path if external circumstances and temptations persistently push you away from it. You need a clearly defined goal and an iron determination to act, especially since everything that happens is conducive to this.

The meaning of the inverted Chariot in the reading

If the straight Arcana indicates the purposeful movement of the chariot, driven by two sphinxes, in one direction, then the inverted one can be described by the fable of the pike, the crayfish and the swan. Each sphinx here will pull in its own direction.

As a result of this, there can be no talk of any movement, advancement or achievements. A person is torn by temptations, he rushes in different directions, without bringing anything to the end. He cannot give up old, outdated ideas. He is trying to restore past relationships, take advantage of lost connections, and trust people who have let him down in the past.

This is aggravated by the fact that the ambition of the upright Chariot is also present in its inverted form. But this becomes unsatisfied ambition, followed by suffering, worry and self-doubt.

The map may warn that a planned trip will not take place. When adjacent to negative cards, we can talk about an upcoming conflict.

With such an Arcana, you need to find the strength in yourself to regain control over your mind and feelings. They are symbolized by sphinxes who are trying to drag the cart in different directions. Sometimes you even need to stop them, so that you can then start a calm and purposeful run again. The cards of the Minor Arcana, posted as additional information, will tell you where help can come from.

Direction of self-development

The Chariot in self-development suggests that there is a need to free yourself from the authority of other people’s thoughts, plans, images and opinions. Despite the readiness to act, it is necessary to understand that any circumstances will occur along the path of life. At the same time, negative situations are the essence of promotion elements. They help you gain experience that you can build on in the future.

The Arcanum does not let us forget that every success is closely related to overcoming some difficulty or getting through a difficult situation. In the case of the Chariot, you need to take into account that one-sided thinking can become an obstacle to self-development. It can be caused by an intoxication with the goal and a reluctance to see “what is happening on the side of the road.”

The card says that self-development at the moment requires balancing conflicting emotions. This requires increased self-control. The main theme of the card is achieving a goal through gaining experience.

The inverted Chariot indicates that consciousness is in the state described in the fable of the swan, the crab and the pike. The person has frequent mood swings and is overly restless. Unreasonable suspicion gives way to careless gullibility.

The reason for this condition is poor concentration and loss of self-control. Circumstances at such moments become stronger than a person, and the mind, in search of a way out, begins to rush from one extreme to another. In this case, movement on the path of self-development must begin with the reconciliation of all internal contradictions in order to make them all work towards one goal.

Thus, a person needs to turn the chariot, return to the city he left behind, to the VI Arcanum, to receive new tests and new experience.

Job

In work, as well as in any area of ​​life, the Chariot indicates a breakthrough, which most often occurs on emotions. This is the first step towards independence. It manifests itself either in organizing your own business, or in taking over the management of some team, for example, a promotion associated with the management of some department.

In business, this card indicates that specific and clear goals have been set. A person approaches the tasks assigned to him with determination and confidence in success. He has skill, skill and sufficient knowledge, and always takes the initiative.

The card speaks of possible breakthroughs in business: signing a very profitable and long-awaited contract, winning a tender, concluding a deal that promises good profits. The Chariot indicates that success will depend on non-standard solutions, fresh ideas and even unpopular methods.

Very often this Arcanum falls out to a person who has to do something completely new and unknown. He may not have experience in this, but success will be ensured by his enthusiasm and assertiveness. He will always have the opportunity to gain the missing knowledge.

An inverted Chariot indicates the presence of circumstances interfering with work. Very often, these may be people around who do not agree with either the business policies or the conditions that are created to complete the task. In some cases, you even have to deal with sabotage.

You need to be careful in a team, because the card indicates the presence of people in it who are not passionate about one idea, but each strive to promote their own. Everything is aggravated by the fact that the person for whom the alignment is being made most likely overestimated his capabilities and took on a burden that was unbearable for himself. As a result of this, a period comes when they stop trusting him, preferring to cooperate with someone else. He loses authority, and therefore the opportunity to lead.

The card warns that at the moment it is impossible to sign an important contract or conclude a deal. The reason must be sought in the lack of information, in ignorance of some details.

Personal relationships

The Chariot in layouts for personal relationships, both upright and inverted, will always have a negative connotation. The only exception is when it comes to new relationships. In this case, the card speaks of passionate love, mutual infatuation, and similarity of interests. It describes only the initial period of the relationship, after which one of the partners may begin to sober up in a couple.

If we are talking about an existing relationship, the Chariot warns about the departure of the partner whose position this card falls on. The reason for this departure lies in the fact that the relationship was a burden for the person, it has outlived its usefulness. In this case, the person acts under the pressure of emotions, and leaving is an impulse.

Very often such an impulse is preceded by a stormy showdown. We should not forget that Mars patronizes the Chariot, therefore relationships under the sign of this Arcanum are doomed to displays of passion: either it is stormy love at the beginning, or it is a stormy showdown at the end.

The departed partner will not feel the pain of breaking up the relationship; he leaves with ease, leaving the city forever. His Chariot takes him into a new relationship. The remaining one will feel pain for both of them, since at one time he put his partner on a pedestal.

An inverted Chariot in a reading for a new partner indicates that a relationship with him is almost impossible. This is due to insurmountable contradictions in characters. Very often, such a card falls on partners from different social strata.

If we are talking about a completed union, then here the leading role is also played by the difference in characters, the lack of common interests, even the opposite of worldviews. In this case, people cannot break up due to fear of a new relationship. From year to year they maintain the agony of their relationship, not having the strength to make a final decision.

Sometimes in such unions people hate each other. The presence of an abundance of swords in the layout suggests that hatred can reach a destructive limit. For example, it is in this state that a person can order damage to his partner. The most surprising thing is that with such a card we can talk about “quiet” hatred, when a person overwhelms himself, but does not allow his emotions to spill out. He can even cherish plans for revenge, while continuing to communicate “through gritted teeth.”

Personality characteristics

A person characterized by the VII Arcanum has all the qualities of a successful leader. A person is decisive and has no doubts about his determination. He has remarkable willpower and ambition. His self-confidence comes from deep life experience.

A person is inclined to take initiative in everything, to be the first everywhere, he will not yield leadership to anyone without a fight. This person always relies only on his own strength. He will not accept the position of a follower, because his purpose is to drive the cart, not to drag it.

A person under the sign of the Chariot is passionate in everything. This manifests itself in love, in attitude towards work, and in the implementation of hobbies. At the same time, he easily says goodbye to circumstances, people and things that he no longer needs. They say about such a person that he goes over his head.

The charioteer personality knows how to clearly concentrate consciousness on achieving a goal and has high self-control. A negative trait of his character can be called one-sided thinking.

The inverted Chariot will tell about a person that he is not able to complete what he starts. This Arcanum, for example, can fall on a person who is commonly called an eternal student. Such a person passionately lights up with an idea, but when the strength for impulse runs out, he cools down to this idea and begins to rush into battle for the next one.

Such a person always experiences anxiety and suspicion. He cannot concentrate, and his mood changes with surprising speed. Such people are called excessively fussy, making a lot of unnecessary movements.

Unsatisfied ambition makes such a person quarrelsome, demanding, and passionate about sorting out relationships. This man talks a lot, but does little. Very often such people talk about incredible projects they have planned, but things don’t go further than stories.

Health

When fortune telling your health, you can use several layouts. You need to select one or another layout based on the question asked. If the viewing is superficial, then you can make simpler layouts, but if you need to consider health problems more carefully, then you should turn to a complex layout according to the chakra system. The layouts are made using the Major Arcana, but for a more detailed decoding you can also use the Minor Arcana.

A simple layout for health includes a layout with 2 cards of the Major Arcana. In some cases, you can get an answer with the help of one Major Arcana.

General state

When the VII Arcanum falls in a reading on the general condition of the body, it means that the person is completely healthy, the body is full of strength. The person’s physical and mental condition does not cause concern.

If the card fell out when the layout was made to a person who was in a state of illness, then the Chariot shows that the illness is leaving the person. A quick period of recovery and rehabilitation awaits him. He gained enough strength to fight the disease.

An inverted Arcana shows that the body is completely unbalanced. This is not a disease as such, but a lack of strength. The reason may be that the person led an overly active lifestyle, got too carried away by some activity and overestimated his strength. With this position of the Chariot, we can talk about the presence of chronic fatigue syndrome.

For a sick person, this Arcanum will indicate a worsening of the disease. The immune system is too weakened to fight. In this case, along with the main treatment of the disease, the person should receive drugs that support the immune system.

Ongoing processes

In a two-Arcana layout, the Chariot, which is in the first position, shows the state of the bronchial system, including the trachea. Moreover, it doesn’t matter at all what position the Arkan is in. Both upright and inverted, it will only point to the organ.

In the second position in the upright position, the Chariot says that the organ determined by the card in the first position is in a healthy state, all processes in it proceed according to age norms.

The inverted Chariot says that the organ is not receiving enough energy, which is why its function is weakened. At the same time, the organ may be healthy, but the lack of strength in it warns of the possibility of illness in the near future.

Chakra diagnostics

When diagnosing by chakra, the Major Arcana are laid out sequentially for each chakra, starting with the bottom. When laying out a card, you need to clearly concentrate on the chakra. After the complete alignment, you need to look at which of the chakras the Chariot fell on. You need to read information both from the Arcanum itself and from its correspondence with neighboring cards.

Muladhara. The Direct Chariot shows the health of the organs of movement - the lower extremities, and in all their systems.

An inverted one can warn of the occurrence of immobilization. This can be caused either by some kind of disease or by the consequences of accidents. To find out the reason, you can put another senior Arcanum nearby, which will prompt the event. For example, if the XVI Arcana (Tower) is nearby, then immobility will be caused by injury, and if XIII (Death), then we can talk about surgical intervention.

Svadhisthana. The chariot in an upright position will indicate the normal functioning of the reproductive organs, naturally, in accordance with age. A reversed card will tell you about hormonal imbalance. A woman may have menstrual irregularities, and men may have problems with the prostate gland associated with a decrease in its function.

Manipura. On this chakra, the Chariot in its direct version will show the normal functionality of the stomach/duodenum ligament. In an inverted position, the Arkan will indicate a violation of the interaction of these two organs with each other. There may be problems with stomach motility and the flow of its contents into the intestines.

Anahata. The straight Arcana will indicate the normal functioning of the bronchial system and trachea. An inverted map shows congestion in the bronchi, chronic bronchitis. If on neighboring chakras there are cards such as the Hermit (IX Arcanum) or the Hanged Man (XII Arcanum), then the presence of bronchial asthma can be assumed.

Vishuddha. At this chakra, the Chariot will show healthy organs of the larynx and nasopharynx. The inverted Chariot can indicate swelling processes in the tonsils, deterioration of breathing due to swelling of the nasal mucosa.

Ajna. The Chariot on Ajna speaks of the normal interaction of all body systems with those parts of the brain that are responsible for them. An inverted Chariot indicates that the connection of some system with its brain center is disrupted. To find out what kind of system it is, you need to look at all the Arcana that fall on the chakras.

Sahasrara. The Direct Chariot indicates that a person is full of strength and is in a state of victory. There is practically no indication of physical health here, but we can talk about mental health. The inverted Chariot indicates that a person is in an illusion that vanity gives him. This can lead to a deterioration in your general condition due to loss of strength.

Layout for the situation

In situational readings, the card indicates that the time has come for an immediate decision. To resolve the situation, you cannot hesitate for a minute; taking initiative and quickly responding will help events develop in the right direction.

In some cases, the Chariot says that in a given situation you cannot trust anyone, but you need to do everything yourself, following your experience, skill and knowledge. Under no circumstances should you be afraid of such independence, since fate will definitely bring the right people and create favorable circumstances.

You should not evaluate current events, because even situations that are negative at first glance will lead to the desired results. This is the work of the black sphinx, who still leads the chariot forward.

Very often, situations related to travel, roads or movement, or the need to change place of residence with such an Arcanum end successfully.

At the everyday level, Arkan indicates any successful endeavors. The card can predict the purchase of a new vehicle. And if the situation of an already planned purchase is considered, then the Chariot says that any circumstances that will accompany this transaction will one way or another end successfully.

The Chariot can also mean the beginning of some new relationship, and this probability increases if a person has some kind of road ahead of him. The lasso foreshadows a holiday romance or an affair on a business trip.

When the Chariot appears, we can talk about luck in various small household matters. In litigation, Arkan foreshadows victory, sometimes even unexpected and triumphant. The Chariot will also indicate that the person will be awarded some kind of award, prize or any distinction.

If the person for whom the alignment is being made is in a state of quarrel with someone, then the Chariot speaks of a possible truce, and without the need to humiliate himself and ask for this truce.

The inverted Chariot indicates that the situation cannot be resolved, no matter what actions a person takes to achieve this. The reason for this deplorable state lies in disagreements, both internal and external. The neighboring Arcana in the layout will show with whom exactly such disagreements exist, and perhaps even tell you how to avoid them.

The card says that any movement will not bring success or has every chance of not taking place. With this card it is impossible to meet a new person, or the meeting will not lead to a permanent relationship. Essentially, this is failure in any endeavor, misunderstanding of a partner, inability to get a promotion. This card appears when a person is told that he has taken on the wrong business.

At the everyday level, the Chariot indicates a situation where there is not enough money for a long-desired thing, although the opportunity to purchase it at this moment is present. This is a card of bad luck, the level of which can be characterized by a situation, for example, when the girl of your dreams begins a relationship with her best friend.

The card does not bode well for a business trip. As a rule, with such a map, planned activities will either not bring success or will be completely disrupted by circumstances beyond the person’s control.

Card of the day

If the Chariot appears on the map of the day, then a person should understand that he is on the eve of “great things”. He should not remain passive; the card requires decisive action, and as a result it promises success.

On this day there will be a chance to fulfill your deepest desires and realize your wildest ideas. But it’s just as easy to miss such a chance on this day as it is to find it. The day will bring unexpected circumstances that were not planned by a person in advance; it is not recommended to ignore them - this is the work of the sphinxes who guide the cart to success. Moreover, you should not be upset if these circumstances do not seem very favorable.

On this day, a person can expect some kind of recognition of his talents and merits, or even a reward.

The Reversed Chariot advises not to start anything new until a clear picture of actions is built. This is the case when a person is told: “If you don’t know how to act, don’t act!”

The card speaks of a breakdown in plans, and this can be influenced by external circumstances at any stage. With such an Arcana, it is best to refuse to implement them yourself.

Card of the Year

As a card for the year, the Chariot foretells a rather eventful period that will be accompanied by success. There is a lot of new and interesting things to learn, a lot of new ideas to implement. But the rhythm of life with such an Arcana will be too accelerated. In fact, the person will not have the opportunity to stop and catch his breath.

At the same time, with such a rhythm, there is a threat of fatigue, leading to loss of strength and energy. If you completely surrender to such a rhythm, then a person at any, and most often, at the most inopportune moment, can lose self-control and composure, which will lead to a reversal of the Arcana.

The inverted Chariot indicates that a person has completely exhausted his strength to deal with life’s circumstances. He will feel helpless.

During this period, it is better not to start any business. It needs to be devoted to realizing the mistakes that led to this state and trying to correct them. This is a good time to return to the abandoned city, get off the chariot and start your journey again.

Arcana Council

The Chariot is the winner's card. Based on its sacred meaning, the card recommends not rushing too quickly along the path of your success, but learning to see and evaluate the events happening on the side of the road. They help to gain the missing experience and hold back the sphinxes flying at full speed.

Driving a cart will be successful only when a person leaves his vanity and painful ambition in the abandoned city. These are good driving forces when it is possible to consciously restrain them.

One should never forget that a crown on the head is a temporary phenomenon if, while enjoying triumph, one forgets about curbing one’s own pride. So that the victorious movement cannot be interrupted by external circumstances and surrounding people, so that one’s own contradictions do not allow one of the sphinxes to prevail over the other, a person must strive to comply with the rule of the golden mean.

The Tarot Chariot, the meaning of which we will analyze today, is also called the card of triumph and victory. Some also call it the Chariot of Hermes or the Chariot of Plato. If Plato can really be taken into account, since according to this ancient philosopher, the human soul appears in the form of a chariot drawn by two riders - black and white, then the Greek god Hermes, according to myths, never had such a vehicle. However, probably, for every Arcana of the Tarot there will always be some story that has no basis in reality. But let's return to our Charioteer.

General description of the card, plot and meaning in layouts

In order to delve deeper into the meaning of the Chariot Tarot card, you need to carefully consider its plot line. So, we see a corresponding vehicle, in which two mythical creatures are harnessed - a black and a white sphinx. The man sitting in the chariot looks very confident, and perhaps even overconfident. Unfortunately, the movement of the Chariot in Waite's deck is poorly conveyed - at first glance it seems as if the carriage is actually standing still, which is sometimes confusing when considering the meaning and interpretation of the 7th Arcana of the Tarot. The charioteer holds a rod in his hands. Behind the triumphal carriage we see a landscape with towers and a river, which is found on other cards in the deck. Thus, we can say that the main meaning of the Arcana will be movement, success, triumph, victory.

Keywords and ideas for the Chariot card

Masters advise beginning tarot readers to begin studying any card by compiling a list of keywords that can reflect its meaning - this makes it easier to find the semantic nuances of the Arcana when fortune telling in various situations.

So, the meaning of the 7th Arcana of the Tarot can be expressed through the following ideas:

• Constant movement, change of scenery, progress, leap forward
• Victory, triumph, success
• Dexterity, strength, ability to manage the situation
• Activity, optimism, energy
• Craving for new experiences, desire to change something
• Successfully overcoming obstacles

Meaning of the card in the upright position

The classic meaning of the Tarot Chariot on a situation is successful progress, development that is taking leaps and bounds, rapid changes, movement towards one’s goal. Solving problems is not postponed until later - a person begins to act right here and now. Also, Arkan is often associated with activity, strength, dexterity - those qualities without which driving a vehicle is impossible. If we ask about future events, then the Chariot speaks of the active development of events, the successful achievement of a goal, the fulfillment of a desire. Sometimes Arkan directly points to a trip, a journey, a change of scenery, or communication with a person who is at a great distance from the person asking.

It should be remembered that the value of 7 Arcana of the Tarot will not always be exclusively positive: often the card is associated with considerable risk, as, indeed, is driving any transport. But those who are ready to take the reins of driving the cart into their own hands must always be confident in themselves and not make mistakes.

The meaning of the card in an inverted position

The meaning of The Chariot Tarot, if the card turns out to be upside down, although not critical, is also not very pleasant. What surprises can await a person who drives a vehicle? He may not be able to cope with the road situation due to inexperience or fear, or, on the contrary, he may take too much risk, be reckless, and because of this he will get into an accident. Therefore, the meaning of the inverted Chariot of the Tarot is troubles that most often arise due to the fault of the questioner: either the person overlooked something, was distracted, or chose the wrong direction of movement, or felt omnipotent and therefore suffered. Quarrels, conflicts, unrest, resentment, revenge, and hooligan behavior often come under this card.

However, other difficulties may await us on the road, for example, a car breakdown. And if you ask the cards a question directly about the trip, and in response you receive the opposite 7th Arcana, it is better to postpone the planned trip.

The meaning of the card in matters of relationships and love

Let's take a closer look at what the meaning of the Tarot Chariot can be in love. With a quick glance at the map, beginners are not always able to determine it accurately, because we do not always associate travel with the realm of feelings, except, perhaps, for the honeymoon.

Straight position

So, the most common meaning of the Tarot Chariot in a relationship is a clear change of impressions: most often it is a holiday or road romance, a light affair on the side, love on the Internet, a search for new sensations, since the old ones are already boring. The Charioteer on the card is a person without any special attachments; today he can be with you, and tomorrow he can be very far from you - this is how the interpretation of the card can also be revealed if the Tarot Chariot falls in a personal scenario on a man or woman.

Another possible meaning of the Tarot Chariot in a relationship is the desire and attempts to “keep in check” your own feelings, experiences, in a word - complete control over your emotional world, which in a normal, from a psychological point of view, love partnership is not very correct behavior . Love is needed in order to open up, and not in order to experience it inside oneself. Although for those who have a relationship with a married man or married woman, this can be said to be the norm.

Inverted position

The inverted Chariot Tarot card has the following meaning in relationships: inability to manage one’s emotions, loss of self-control, inability to adequately assess reality, reluctance to agree to a truce, sometimes - chasing “two birds with one stone” at once, which usually ends with what we know.

The meaning of the card when divining health

How can you connect the idea of ​​travel and health? Let's get a look!

Straight position

The meaning of the Tarot Chariot in health is the successful cure of an illness, or the beginning of a healthy lifestyle, when a person suddenly decides to take care of his well-being, goes on a diet, signs up for sports training, and gives up bad habits. As a signifier of disease, these are problems of the gastrointestinal tract, or illnesses and injuries that tie a person to a wheelchair. Sometimes Arkan can report accidents, accidents, injuries resulting from road accidents.

Inverted position

The Reverse Tarot Cart is not so clear cut. It can be affected by a range of illnesses, including sports injuries, homeostasis disorders, postpartum depression, and achievement-related nervous disorders such as winner's syndrome.

Interpretation of cards in layouts for personality analysis and psychological state

Chariot in relationships

The Chariot is not a great indicator for a new relationship. A person may be very focused on you, but not for the right reasons.

In love, the Chariot indicates that a person has protection. This is actually a very sensitive card that shows that the partner being read has been very hurt in the past and is closing down when it comes to relationships and love. It needs to be felt with caution, love and care before creating a relationship. If you're already in a relationship, it might not be what you want because your partner is focused on work or constantly traveling.

In love, an inverted lasso signals a warning. You should not create a relationship with someone just because of their external beauty. A love interest will be extremely developed towards someone who will control their every move, who they can be friends with and who will provide them financially. They see nothing but money in love interests. The card may indicate a person who wants a rich wife or girlfriend, but has little interest in her intelligence.

Arkan can also point to a rich woman who wants a handsome man to appear in her life. Beware of the other's ulterior motives because they will be with you as long as you have money or looks. If they don't get their way, prepare for a passive aggressive attack. They can cut you off from sex and love. They can be moody and have a brooding behavior.

I really want to warn you if the reverse chariot appears in love readings. Even in an upright position, it is not entirely beneficial, but on the contrary is a bad sign, signaling intrusion, play and cunning behavior.

Chariot as a feeling

You may want to feel protected. Sometimes it's a natural part of life to focus on safety. Generally, people want to know that they are valued and loved. If the Chariot appears in the question of how a person feels about you, it reveals a not very pleasant picture to you. Unfortunately or fortunately, you will not be able to arouse love from this person, because he does not want a relationship, either out of fear, or from excessive self-sufficiency.

Such people know what they want in life, and they are not interested in you. If we look closely at the card, we can see that the Guardian's chest plate protects his heart. This is the key symbolism for the lasso. To accomplish his mission, he doesn't have any time to feel anything romantic. In fact, it's probably intentional, confident, and realized.

Mutual commitment is a limitation, but if you've ever been in a committed, loving relationship, you know that this constraint strengthens your connection, deepens it, and frees you from having to worry about maintaining a conscious partnership. If you are just starting a new relationship, Chariot advises you to cherish such boundaries, maintain them and feel comfortable discussing them with your partner.

What are your limitations in relationships? Identify them early on to create a viable "container" for your mutual feelings for each other.

If you're in a partnership and things aren't going your way, explore the balance between restrictions and freedom. Remember that repetition is the limit. How many times a week do you spend time alone together? How often do you call each other kind words? How often do you have real love affairs? Do you repeat beautiful and emotional aspects to create lasting love?

The Chariot advises you to set goals and achieve them. Be your word and don't give up. Go ahead. Even if you have a very big goal, go towards it by breaking it down into growth milestones. Don't let anything get in your way as you focus on achieving each goal. Completion, setting goals and focusing on them are key reminders when the 7th Arcana appears in a prediction.

If you must come into conflict with yourself, another person or an idea, remember that you cannot have peace without war. Compare these differences to create balance. As a recommendation, the Chariot recommends that you listen to your own inner voice, which is the still prompts of the One Universal Spirit that guides us all.

Don't deviate from the path that has been laid out before you. Once you understand that there is only one Will guiding you, then you can begin to work in harmony with everything around you, in the matrix of this world that was developed before you entered this body.
