The Chariot

This is the week.

“Behind the chariot flows a wide river, symbolic of the need to be ‘in flow’ with the rhythm of life while also charging ahead toward your goals and intentions . . .

“The Chariot is a card of willpower, determination and strength. You have discovered how to make decisions in alignment with your values with the Lovers card, and now you are taking action on those decisions.”

“The Chariot is an invitation to draw upon your willpower and home in on what’s essential to you, so you can push past the obstacles in your way . . .

“If you are curious about whether you have what it takes to achieve your aim or complete an important project, the Chariot is a sign you will be successful so long as you keep your focus and remain confident in your abilities . . .

“You need to use your willpower and self-discipline to concentrate on the task at hand. You can’t cut corners or take the easy route, or you will fail. Instead, see this endeavour as a test of your strength and conviction, and recognise that victory is within reach, but it’s up to you to follow through . . .

” The Chariot calls you to assert yourself and be courageous. Be bold in expressing your desires and laying down your boundaries; otherwise, you will not get your way. You need to have faith in yourself and know fundamentally who you are and what you stand for (thus building off the personal belief systems and values established through the Lovers card).”

This is where I am right now, finally. After 48 years of trying to crack the code.

Taken from the Biddy E-Blast with my notes inserted:
The card drawn for this week is the The Chariot reversed :

“Do you ever feel like you’re banging your head against a brick wall
as you try to force your way through obstacles that are standing in
the way of what you want? Trying to move forward with projects
when everything seems to be getting in the way?”

This has been my whole life.

“The Chariot reversed indicates that it may be time to back off,
regroup and consider whether you need to change direction.”

I seem to be a week or so ahead of the general energy lately. I did this
(advice) a few weeks ago and have already begun to resolve my issues and
situations regarding this. So the Chariot reversed for me seems more like
one of the interpretation methods where you take the upright card and
apply it INTERNALLY, or those energies HAVE BEEN applied internally
already.

This is what I’ve already done recently:

“Before taking action, the reversed Chariot may be a hint that you
are focusing your energy and attention on your internal processes,
such as self-discipline, inner determination and personal
commitment. You may home in on the intentions that align with your Higher Self. Or, you can use visualisation and meditation to make
sure your energy aligns with your goals. These internally focused
actions are essential so that when the time comes to act, you will be
ready.”

For the upright meanings, see Biddy Tarot’s page here:

“If you’ve lost your motivation for something you were once
passionate about, and no longer feel as committed to the outcome as you did when you started, take some time to tune into your intuition. Re-evaluate the situation and check in to see if this requires a course change or if you just need a refresh.

Then ask the Tarot:

“Is there a deeper reason why things have become more challenging? What lesson can I learn here?”“
