The Chariot (VII)

Harness opposite forces to one cart.

The image

A crowned warrior stands in a chariot under a starry canopy, with no reins in his hands; a black and a white sphinx sit before it, a walled city behind.

Keywords: direction, willpower, self mastery

Light side

Opposing drives inside you can pull together when you know where you are heading. Focus, not force, keeps the chariot moving.

Shadow side

Winning can become everything, and control can replace direction. Pushing through by will alone leaves the sphinxes pulling apart.

Drawing The Chariot in a game of Leela

In Leela Atlas you can draw a card from the Classic Tarot when you land on a square. A bridging question links the card to the square, so the card speaks to your own question:

• What are the two forces pulling at you here, and where would they agree to go together?
• What does "The Chariot" show you about your square?
• If "The Chariot" were advice for your question, what would it say?
• Where do you meet "The Chariot" in your life right now?
