Known also as the Child of the Powers of the Waters and the Lord of the Triumph of Light, The Chariot is aligned with the astrological sign of Cancer. The Chariot and it's driver represent mastery and victory, but not without effort. The Chariot has links to Apollo the Sun God, who drove his golden chariot across the arc of the sky.
The Chariot represents the positive qualities of tenacity, effort, willpower and drive to reach a long awaited success. That success, when it comes, is sweet and well-deserved and The Chariot also tells you to have more goals beyond this one mapped out in advance. It is a common occurrence to feel deflated and depressed after striving for so long after a cherished goal, and, having succeeded, there is nothing else to do and no outlet for the tremendous energy that has become your mode of operating. Always plan for the next step, even after victory.
Traditionally, when The Chariot turns up for you in a reading, you can expect movement - news, travel, visitors, you may get yourself a new car, or have problems with the old one.
The Chariot is also a metaphor for the body, since the body is the vehicle of our Soul. If you dream about a chariot or car, this can indicate what is going on with your health. If you own a car, what condition is it in? How do you drive it? Are you cautious and careful, or are you distracted and fearful, or reckless and speedy? Do you have your car serviced regularly or do you wait until something goes wrong before you get it seen to?
This card shows that you will be successful, however you need to be serious and work for your results - this will apply to your health, your business, your relationships, all. Create a plan for any or all of these areas and follow your plan closely. You are entering a positive phase in your life, be prepared to leave behind the things that no longer serve you and create for yourself a loving and secure environment that will nurture you and support your efforts.
