# THE CHARIOT The Chariot card shows a warrior standing in a chariot driven by two sphinxes. Note that he’s not sitting; the warrior is in an alert and active stance. The star-covered canopy above him, along with his star crown and the crescent moons on his clothing, illustrate his connection to celestial realms. The square on his chest, depicting the element of earth, grounds him. On the front of the chariot is an image of a spinning top, in perfect balance. The sphinxes represent opposing forces and also reflect the duality that lives within us. The sphinxes are pulling in opposite directions, yet the warrior commands them forward with willpower and determination, holding no reins. Behind him, a river reminds him that he needs to remain in flow to succeed—which the laurel crown he wears, representing victory, suggests he will do. ## 키워드 **정방향 (Upright):** Ambition, leadership, success, victory, determination, strength, control, willpower, resolution, action **역방향 (Reversed):** Obstacles, powerlessness, lack of direction or focus, lack of self- control, being forceful, distraction, conflict, loss, defeat ## BEGINNINGS ### 정방향 (Upright) Now is a time to act!

Stay in your lane with your head down and keep working hard. Hard work and determination are rewarded by The Chariot. ### 역방향 (Reversed) The sphinxes on your chariot are pulling in different directions: You have a lack of focus on your career goals, or alternatively, are pushing forward with too much force and not enough flow. **실천 사항 (Action):** Ask yourself how aggressively you’re pursuing your goals.

It’s also okay to admit when something isn’t working and change course. **실천 사항 (Action):** Loosen your grip and take a more go-with-the-flow approach. Ask for help when you need it. ## OUTCOME ### 정방향 (Upright) The Chariot is a sign of a successful and victorious outcome! This will only come, though, with discipline and hard work. **실천 사항 (Action):** Decide now that you have already succeeded—and act accordingly. You’ll likely need to step out of your comfort zone to emerge victorious. ### 역방향 (Reversed) If you’re pushing too hard for something, the outcome may not be what you desire. **실천 사항 (Action):** Focus on the balance of determination and flow; things should not feel difficult all the time.
