Card of the Day – The Chariot

17 Oct

The Chariot

This is a great card for progress. And as a Major card, its influence goes beyond one day. I am looking forward to moving things along.

With this card, the opposite forces work together. It is strange, today is the first time that I actually feel the two forces not liking each other much. But they recognize the benefits of working together. In fact, they actually balance each other, compliment each other. Each one brings in something that the other doesn’t have. Whatever that clouds the situation is left behind. This shows clearly on Robin Wood’s card. Only clarity ahead. The Charioteer sings. It’s going so smooth that he sings. His song is forceful. Keeping things in rhythm. The chariot is covered with a star-filled canopy. The stars are shining down on him.

Card of the Day – The Chariot Reversed

07 May

Off-balance, obstacles, no progress. Conflicting forces pulling in different directions. Lack of clarity. All very true for what I am going through at this time. There’s a green gem on the charioteer’s head band. It gives out light. Green is the color of nature, growth. Is it saying, “go with the flow”? Don’t fight the process and end up causing more frustration? Road is difficult but stay balanced and in control. That’s the only way to steer clear of troubles. It’s a mojor card, but I hope it’s not a long winding road.

Ten of Wands, Eight of Cups Reversed, The Chariot

Ten of Wands. The week starts off with multiple tasks. Reminder to myself. Try to organize as best as I can. Don’t just slog it through, burying my head in the projects. I wonder if this is why the next card is showing up…

Eight of Cups Reversed. Not moving on. Not going to the next phase. My attention is drawn to the migrating birds in the sky. This is a necessary journey that I will try to avoid. Eight of Cups shows a person walking away from eight golden cups. The cups show riches, accomplishments that the person is leaving behind. He holds a staff decorated with feathers and laurel leaves, showing that he’s done it all. He’s done all that could be done in this place and time. To stay any longer is to be stagnant. Time to move on.

The Chariot. The opposite forces come together in harmony again. Progress. Corporation. Once again there is clarity. Maybe I will move progress after all.

Note, 2.13.2007, 7:32pm, I am really excited about The Chariot. I think I know what it means. I’ll be able to drive again by the end of the week! It’s a long story. I will post about it on my other blog.

The Chariot, The Moon Reversed, Ten of Wands Reversed

Two major cards. Must be an important week. The Chariot. One time it showed up reversed and my partner had a minor car accident that day. But I do not feel it is about cars today. The Chariot represents perfect balance. A corporation between opposite forces. The chariot is pulled by two unicorns. One black, one white. They are almost completely different except they both have green eyes. They work together to bring progress and growth. Yes, the green eyes remind me of growth. The charioteer also wears a green jewel on the forehead which gives off illumination. With balance and corporation things can make good progress. He is under a canopy of stars. They are looking after him. The Chariot leaves the dust behind. There is clarity. That’s kind of a continuation of Knight of Wands from last week. But this has a larger influence.

The Moon reversed. This works well with The Chariot. The Moon represents mystery, inner desire, instincts. When the moon is high, the wild instinct gets restless. It can get out of control if one’s not careful. With The Moon reversed, truth is revealing, things become orderly. Works well with The Chariot, don’t you think? Clarity is coming. I really need that.

Ten of Wands reversed, unloading of burden. Will this mean that projects finished, or someone else helping me? In any case, passing some of the wands to someone or dropping them off at their destinations is a good thing. As long as there is care and not just simply losing them.

While doing one last shuffle before putting the cards away, Seven of Swords and The Magician Reversed popped out. Is this a warning against someone? The bad Magician?

(Major arcana images grabbed from this Wikipedia page, minor arcana images from this page. I use Robin Wood Tarot which has different imagery. This is just to give you an idea of the card.)
