What the card shows

The Chariot moves forward with two forces pulling in different directions. Progress comes from holding them together with steady will rather than force.

The Chariot asks where your energy is going. A clear direction is useful when it includes the ability to slow down and adjust.

Among the major arcana

The 22 major arcana trace a long arc of experience, from the Fool’s first step to the completion of the World. They are often read as the larger themes in a life: beginnings, choices, endings and renewal.
