The Chariot tarot card
1The city behind him: he is leaving it, and he has no real idea where he is going.
2The two sphinxes have no reins on them: nothing is steering this except him knowing the direction is right.
3The stars on his canopy and the moons on his shoulders: he knows he is going the right way.
4He is not stopping. This card really does not want you to stop.
The Setting Yourself Apart CardYour success isn’t going to look like anybody else’s, and that’s the point.
  • Charging toward a victory
  • Setting yourself apart
  • Momentum worth protecting
In a reading

Charging toward a win. I would not stop to negotiate with every obstacle, and I would expect this to move faster than you think.

Deeper meaning

He is leaving that city behind him

Most people read this as victory, and it is, but the thing that always stands out to me is the city behind him. He is leaving it and charging off in a new direction, and he has no idea where he is going. That isn’t a problem on this card, that’s the point. Then look at the two sphinxes pulling him. There are no reins on them at all. He is not steering by a map, he is going because he knows the direction is right, and it is probably away from where he came from. So this card is really about doing something to set yourself apart and follow your own path.

In the good stuff

The momentum is real and it’s yours. Don’t stop to negotiate with anything.
