The Chariot (Upright) | Tarot Card
The Chariot symbolizes courage in the face of uncertainty.
It represents taking risks and stepping toward what you really want out of life, even when there are no guarantees. The Chariot illustrates that victory does not come from the attainment of a goal, but instead occurs at the exact moment you choose courage instead of fear.
Today, let the Chariot serve as a reminder to summon your inner strength and determination. It encourages you to confront any doubts or fears that may be holding you back and embrace the unknown with confidence. This card signifies the importance of trusting your instincts and taking control of your own destiny. It is a call to embrace your personal power and move forward with unwavering resolve.
Embrace the unknown and face challenges head-on. Choose courage over fear, trust in your own abilities, and move forward with determination. Victory awaits those who have the bravery to chase their dreams and navigate the uncharted territories of life.

Do you avoid making decisions that could lead to your happiness because you are afraid of failing?
Have you ever stayed in unhealthy situations longer than you should have because you feared an unknowable future? Is there something you would like to change about your life right now, but you are too scared?
The Chariot is led by two sphinxes, one black and one white. They face in opposite directions, representing two possible futures. The sphinxes are creatures of riddles and mysteries and represent the unknown. The man in the chariot is taking a risk and letting the mysterious sphinxes lead him. He doesn’t know what lies ahead, but he has taken the risk anyway. The sphinxes both hold their tails. They reveal that accessing the wisdom that is “behind” you will give you the courage to face the unknowable future.
The Charioteer advises you to take risks to improve your life, even if there are no guarantees.
In the background of the card there is a large castle surrounded by stable walls. This represents leaving the safety of the home to go out into the world. A large moat surrounds the castle and has also been crossed. This represents bypassing emotional decision making which usually favors comfort over self-improvement. The Chariot is covered by a veil imprinted with stars. Stars are eternal and ancient. They symbolize that the charioteer is seeing “the big picture.” His Higher Self is directing his path.
Look at the Charioteer’s armor. The mantle covering his shoulders is decorated with two moons. This symbolizes that trusting his instincts is his best defense while he is out in the world. The two moons could also indicate that the success you seek could manifest in about two months.
The Charioteer is still advancing toward his goal, and yet he is already double-crowned (like the Empress) and sceptered. He has already won. He made the decision to have courage direct his path instead of a need for comfort, assurance, and security.
The Chariot in a Love Reading
New Relationship
When dating the Charioteer, be confident. He (or she) is attracted to strength of character and presence. Don’t be too eager to please. Chariot people retreat when they catch the slightest whiff of desperation. The Charioteer respects individuals who hold firm convictions and know their own mind. This card can also signify progress or movement in a relationship.
Long Term Partnership
The Chariot can describe a partnership where both people are leaving their comfort zones and are about to embark into uncharted territory. Although there are challenges or conflicts that are sure to be confronted, the Chariot promises victory. Overcoming adversity brings out the best in this relationship.
Seeking Romance
If you are single, the Chariot encourages you to be bold and go for it! Don’t let the fear of “looking” a certain way keep you from your happiness. Leave your comfort zone and have courage. You won’t win your heart’s desire if you retreat from every opportunity to achieve it.
