The Chariot
Major Arcana · Water
The Chariot is the harnessing of opposing forces toward a single aim. It asks you to hold your direction steady through willpower and self-command rather than brute force. Reflect on where competing impulses pull you, and what it would take to align them behind one clear intention.
The image
An armored figure stands in a chariot beneath a starry canopy, holding no reins, drawn by two sphinxes — one black, one white — facing opposite directions. A winged solar disk adorns the chariot's front.
