Below the hand is a flourishing garden with a profusion of roses and lilies and a path leading towards mountains in the distance. The card’s overall ambiance is of abundance, fruition, and wealth.
The suit of pentacle relates to money, work, and material possessions. It can also stand for ego and self-esteem. Aces represent new beginnings and the genesis, potential, and the hope of the suit.

Today’s card, picked at random, is the Three of Wands. But what does it mean?
Standing on a cliff, a man in a red cloak looks out over calm waters where three ships are sailing; mountains rise beyond the sea in the distance. Surrounding the man are three wooden staffs firmly planted in the ground. This is the Three of Wands as shown in the Rider Waite Tarot deck.
Cards in the suit of wands relate to mental energy: ideas, inspiration, and spirituality; threes denote unity and are about taking a first step and getting results after solid planning and preparation. So the Three of Wands card is about enterprise and expansion, as well as preparation and foresight.
In the Rider Waite image, the man may be a merchant watching his own ships as they sail out to sea—or as they return to him laden with cargo. Similarly, this auspicious minor arcana card suggests that your plans are moving forward or will move forward successfully; things are going well or will go well because you’ve laid the groundwork.
This card also advises patience and tranquillity as you wait for your goals to be achieved and your plans to be fulfilled. It tells you to be willing to enter new and unexplored territories, and don’t be afraid to think big.
Just as a sailing ship may encounter a storm, know that no matter how carefully you’ve planned, unexpected challenges can appear. This may be the meaning when the card is reversed. Meet difficulties with a clear head, a calm demeanour, and a steady hand on the helm. Be willing to improvise. And just as the man on the cliff sees a broad horizon before him, don’t lose sight of the long term and the big picture.
This card may also suggest upcoming travel. So be an adventurer willing to step forward, but only after planning. Be courageous—but not reckless—as you expand your horizons and move bravely towards new lands.

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!
