The Chariot shows an aristocrat in all his worldly splendor. Yet this card is governed by Cancer, a deeply internal sign, and it is actualy about a journey of personal growth. Above all else it exemplifies the challenge of self-mastery.

The charioteer steers his team with intense confidence and determination. Just as he can be pulled by his animals in different directions, we are all at times pulled emotionally by conflicting forces. But by bringing his diverse impulses into line, he is able to get the team to take him wherever he decides to go.

The Chariot challenges you to balance your outer and inner realities and maintain equilibrium, even at top speed. You will need focus and concentration, for you might have to make decisions on the spur of the moment. It may take all your resources of strength and will but, if you can keep a steady course, the Chariot will surely carry you to victory.
