Dr.Nikki's Tarot -
The Chariot
The first thing to strike you about this card is the
driver.  Today we don’t understand the
importance of the Chariot.  From the Celts to the
Romans, the Babylonians to the Greeks, the
Chariot was the emblem of the conqueror.  To be
a driver of a Chariot was a position of honor and
high esteem.  It was not a position granted, but
one that was earned by dedication and
application of effort.  The young man is cloaked
in a cape indicating his importance.  His face
looks forward in an attitude of cocky
reassurance.  It is by no accident that he is
holding the reigns to the griffins that pull his
Chariot.  The mythological animals are spatting
with each other.  A close look shows that the
griffin on the viewer’s left is not only biting at his
partner in the reins, but the reins as well.

The Chariot first and foremost is a card of
movement.  If the Chariot has shown up in your
spread today it indicates some kind of movement in
regard to your questions.   Obviously, The Chariot
can speak of physical movement as well. The Chariot
is a card of dualistic energies.  Where at one time it
can reflect the emotions of vengeance, the conditions
of turmoil and adversity; it can also indicate success
or an urgency to gain control, especially in the
emotional realm.  Just as he shows success, the
Charioteer can indicate failure in your life.  He can
also be trying to tell you that you need to be a little
more reality based.  The Chariot can carry you to the height of your dreams or
to the depths of despair.  It is your choice how you use the information and
energy supplied by The Chariot.
