The Chariot

Major Arcana, 7 — from The 1909 London Deck.

Upright

drive, control, forward motion

You get there by holding your nerve. The Chariot is two opposing forces harnessed and pointed the same way, which is difficult and entirely possible. Keep hold of the reins and do not change direction halfway.

In a yes or no reading, The Chariot upright answers yes.

Reversed

stalling, scattered force, losing the thread

The effort is going in several directions at once, or the will to keep pushing has gone. This is not defeat; it is a vehicle that has come off the road. Stop, and work out where you were going.

In a yes or no reading, The Chariot reversed answers no.

What this card does in a reading here

A reading draws one card and answers the question you asked with it. The Chariot can come up either way up — reversals are on in this deck, because the 1909 original was drawn with them in mind — and the two readings above are the starting point, not the answer. The answer depends on what you asked.
