The Chariot

The Chariot is the card of victory! It combines the four elements of the universe and is synonymous with spiritual, intellectual, physical, and mental success. The card is dominated by progressive energy, but at its heart lies a seed of aggression. Here the card features a group of young men marching triumphantly home from the pub full of elation and joy. The leader of the group strides ahead like a war general while one of his companions glances back checking that all is safe; but he need not fear attack from behind for he is bathed in the light of spiritual intoxication. Encapsulated in the majestic embrace of alcohol he can not come to harm.

Dignified: With confidence and self-control any difficulty can be conquered. As the driver of the chariot and you are in control of your own destiny. The chariot leader is the embodiment of motivation and the achiever of great things. Those who ride the Chariot will always find their way home even if no one remembers how they got there the next morning. Look forward to success for failure will not succeed in its attempt to ambush you.

Ill dignified: Negativity and aggression have taken hold, and you are out of control. You have walked out of the protective light of intoxication and in to the dark wilderness that is a hangover. You have become lost and confused, possibly by getting embroiled in petty arguments. The reins of the Chariot have been taken from you leaving you staggering around the meandering circles of life's limitations. Too much drink and you'll end up in a ditch cold, wet and alone.
