The Rider Waite deck shows the head-on image of an armoured man standing under a star-studded canopy in a chariot drawn by a black sphinx and a white one.
At lucky number seven in the major arcana of the Tarot deck, the Chariot is a card of victory. Indeed, in some decks the card is called Victory.
This is a card of determination: of ambition, of getting things done, of proving you can win. But it may not be an easy success. Just as it takes physical and mental energy to manage the beasts that pull a racing chariot, this card recommends control, endurance, and strength of purpose to achieve a hard-won triumph.
Along the way, the black and white steeds might pull in different directions, leading to confusion, disunity, and indecision. There might be rough roads, unexpected detours, and traffic jams along the way. But when the animals are well-fed and well-trained, harnessed with the right equipment, and firmly controlled with discipline and self-confidence, few forces can block the chariot. It will charge full-speed ahead.
But be aware that this card is also a warning against being ruthless, unquestioningly loyal, and overly committed to winning regardless of the cost. This is especially true when it’s reversed. So don’t collapse under pressure or lose your direction. Be firm and committed, but not heartless and brutal. Know that winning isn’t everything and shouldn’t be the only thing.
This evocative and energetic major arcana card assures the possibility of success even against seemingly insurmountable odds. So have faith in your plans, your talent, and your convictions. Encourage partners and teammates to set aside their differences and work together. And overcome your own doubts. If you’re properly prepared, nothing that can stand in your way.

Comments Off on The Chariot – a ride towards victory
I’ve been spending some time in the Scottish hills, becoming at one with nature. It’s hard, being a city girl, to adapt to lanes full of sheep blocking the path, spiders and a lack of wifi…
One of the highlights of my trip has been visiting local graveyards. Creepy, I know, but I love the peacefulness of the ivy-clad ruined stone collections with elegant Victorian writing swirling across; faint now, but still readable. The grass squelches below and kestrels hover above as I wander with my friend through these tiny churchyards and, sometimes, graveyards set on a hillside miles from anywhere.
There was a tradition here in the Scottish borders to name the place where the person died. In the local graveyard, several people are buried who died in this very cottage where I’m staying. There’s an air of calm here, and a constant chill. Is death the end?
No.
Turning the Death card in a Tarot reading definitely isn’t finality. It simply means that something is ending in order for something better to begin. It’s a fresh start, a new challenge and should be viewed as excitement and a welcome change.
The Death card is nothing to fear. It offers an opportunity to reassess the main issues in your life and clarify where the path ahead of you turns in a new direction. If you receive this symbol of change, embrace it. Take joy in the knowledge that something new is beginning. You’ll be pleased you did!

With a full moon looming on Friday 13th, what better card to pop up than The Moon itself?!
The Moon is the card of dreams and the unconscious. It represents intuition and inner light as we travel on our way to a higher consciousness – although this might be a dim, vague light – the moon doesn’t always shine brightly. It’s the mysterious face peering down on us, throwing shadows and creating glints of light that shimmer and then vanish.
Many writers say that the Moon inspires and enchants – and reams of song lyrics agree. But the world of night and shadow is an unknown one, and can be scary. In a reading, the Moon can reflect anxiety, fear and uncertainty, an indication that we’re losing our way in the glimmering glow of moonlight. If you draw this card, it can be a sign that you need to find your way back to a known path. Your inner fears may be seeping into your wakefulness, and repressed feelings and upsetting memories may be coming alive and causing you distress during the day. This shows a need to acknowledge those feelings and deal with them – in other words, put them to bed!
The Moon can also indicate negative traits, such as secret motives and hidden truths. It’s an illusion, deceptive and it can be a reminder that you must be aware of what’s going on and look around you clearly. The Moon is a card of the night, so stop day-dreaming. If you’re idealising a situation or letting your imagination run away with you, wake up and take a good hard look around. And remember, things always look clearer in the light of day.
It’s been said that we live our lives in a feeling of being comfortable with what we know, and we turn our backs on the ‘mysterious universe’ outside of our comfort zone – only occasionally peeking out, sometimes through our imagination or, for some people, through heightened experiences – like drugs or alcohol. Moon madness was a commonly diagnosed ‘ailment’ in centuries gone by. If you doubt your own sanity, like I often do (!!) you might be wise to stay in on Friday night!!
