About The Chariot Tarot Card
The Chariot, Card VII in the Major Arcana, represents the moment when determination becomes victory—when opposing forces are harnessed, obstacles are overcome, and will triumphs. Following The Lovers (Card VI) where a choice was made, The Chariot shows the focused determination required to move forward with that decision despite obstacles. The armored charioteer stands upright in the chariot (not sitting, showing active engagement), wearing armor decorated with crescents and sometimes a square on the chest representing the earth element and mastery of the material world. Unlike The Emperor who sits on a throne, The Chariot's warrior stands ready for battle, embodying active rather than established power. The crown often features a star representing divine connection, while the canopy overhead shows stars symbolizing celestial influence and protection. Most striking are the two sphinxes pulling the chariot—one black, one white (or sometimes red and blue)—representing opposing forces: conscious and unconscious, masculine and feminine, positive and negative, chaos and order. The crucial detail: these sphinxes often face different directions or appear to resist moving together, yet the charioteer controls them through sheer will without reins—symbolizing that victory comes not from eliminating opposition but from mastering it through determination and discipline. Behind the chariot often appears a city, representing the civilization and structure left behind as the warrior ventures forth. The Chariot teaches that triumph requires more than good intentions—it demands focus, discipline, self-control, and the ability to harness conflicting energies (both within and without) toward a unified purpose. In tarot readings, The Chariot appears when victory is possible but requires sustained willpower, when opposing forces must be unified, when obstacles demand determination rather than surrender, or when success depends on maintaining focus despite distractions. This card signals competitive situations, battles to be won, journeys requiring perseverance, or any moment when the question isn't "can I?" but "will I?" The Chariot represents the athlete training daily, the entrepreneur pushing through setbacks, the student persevering through difficulty, the competitor who refuses to quit—anyone who achieves through sheer determination. Unlike The Wheel of Fortune (Card X) where fate turns randomly, The Chariot represents victory earned through effort, discipline, and focused will. It reminds us that we have the power to direct our lives, that opposing forces within us (doubt and confidence, fear and courage) can be unified toward achievement, and that triumph belongs to those who maintain course despite resistance. Whether celebrating victories, starting competitive endeavors, overcoming obstacles, or simply needing reminder of your inner warrior, The Chariot poster serves as a visual affirmation that you possess the willpower to conquer, the discipline to persist, and the determination to triumph.
