Ask and Answer Tarot Meanings: The Chariot

ollowing on the trail of the Lovers, today we are going to explore the Chariot in this next Ask and Answer Tarot post, the companion to my e-course, 20 Question Tarot.

Remember: In the Ask and Answer Tarot series I am going to give you 6 questions that each Tarot card inspires you, the reader, to ask either yourself or the person you are reading for and 2 questions that will help you get to know the card a little bit better.

The Chariot

Card Number: VII

Ruling planet: The Moon

Element: Water

Season: Autumn

Questions for the Lovers:

These two questions will help you get to know the Chariot a little bit better:

1.) There are three primary figures in this card, the individual driving the vehicle and the two sphinxes – what is their relationship to each other?

2.) Looking closely at this card we see that the golden wheels are not depicted as touching the ground so we have an image of the Chariot transcending or on the verge of transcending the green earth – what do you make of this?

Questions from the Upright Chariot:

When the Chariot card appears upright in a reading, these three questions will help you reveal its message.

1.) Where is the movement in this situation?

2.) What is the alignment and cooperation in this situation?

3.) How do I transcend this challenge?

Questions from the Reversed Chariot:

When the Chariot card appears reverse in a reading, these three questions will help you navigate its advice.

1.) How can I best address the lack of cooperation?

2.) What elements need to be brought together in order to achieve victory?

3.) What is the tension in this situation creating paralysis?
