Tarot cards are a fun way to gain insight into issues in your life. While some people may turn to tarot cards to learn more about their relationship status, others may use tarot cards to receive messages from their spiritual guides when they feel stuck. If you get a reading from a professional, or you have a deck of cards and you draw cards for yourself all the time, you've probably come across the Chariot card. If you're making a big decision, drawing the Chariot Tarot card means you'll get some clear answers.
Tarot cards consist of two parts: Major Arcana and Minor Arcana. The Minor Arcana has 56 cards, representing everyday scenes, while the Major Arcana has 56 cards. Represents the life path of the Fool, which is the zero card in the Tarot. The 22 cards in the Major Arcana symbolize all the different stages of life a person may go through. The Chariot is number seven in the Major Arcana and is associated with movement.
"When I pull the chariot, I always feel it means that a person should move on and actively turn their attention to the future," astrologer and professional medium Stina Garbis tells Bustle , she often performs tarot readings on TikTok. "Our destiny is in our own hands and our decisions are our own. So when I got the tank, I felt as though it was time to make the hard decisions and when we do, everything will be better. "
If you keep seeing Chariot cards in your readings, here's what you need to know.
What does Tarot Chariot mean?
It's important to note that every reader will interpret tarot cards in their own way, so you may get subtle differences from one reader to another. But in general, chariots are associated with advancement. According to astrologer and tarot expert Jill Loftis, this card appears when someone is ready to take the next step but hasn't yet.
"I always thought tanks were 'dressed up and not going anywhere,'" Loftis said. "You've gotten the job done; but why aren't you moving forward? The Chariot indicates that you may need to recommit to a project or relationship, stop making excuses, or prepare yourself for the attention and success that's coming your way."
In the Tarot, the Chariot appears immediately after the Lovers. As Loftis tells Bustle, many people associate this card with the zodiac sign of Cancer , because in the standard Ryder-Waite tarot deck, the figure has protective armor surrounding it, similar to a crab's hard shell. But Loftis says Chariot actually has more Sagittarius energy.
"It's the idea of being ready for an adventure, maybe even a fight," Loftis said. "[The person] on the card obviously had a certain status or status, and the chariot was used to travel longer distances. Sagittarius is a sign ruled by Jupiter, so it felt very logical in terms of the richness of the symbols."
What does the chariot plate mean when it is erected?
When the chariot appears in upright form, it gives you the green light to take a big step forward. According to Garbis, this could mean leaving a relationship or even moving to a new location. “The combined forces of the androgynous Sphinx of day and night drive this chariot forward and show that all gears are geared to make things happen at this time. Your divine feminine and masculine, and your positive and negative The side is harmonious, it’s time to gather your wits, stand up and go.”
This is a great card to use when you are making a decision. If you're asking Tarot about your relationship, a possible career change, or even a move, having the chariot upright means you're ready to go. Any obstacles you may have encountered will be cleared and moving forward should be smooth sailing. Since the Power card follows the tank, Garbis says the decisions you make will be solid.
What does the reversed chariot sign mean?
When you pull a tarot card backwards, many readers will interpret this to mean the opposite of the card's meaning. In this case, the reversal of the chariot means that something may be stalled.
"When a tank card is reversed, always take the time to double-check your details and readiness," Loftis said. "There may be things that have been overlooked, or you may not be as prepared as you thought."
More preparation or research may be required before proceeding. For example, you might think you're ready to launch your new project into the world. But if your tank card is reversed, then now may not be the right time to fully activate, and you may need to do more work first.
