The Chariot Tarot Card Description
The Chariot Tarot card depicts a valiant warrior riding in a chariot. He is dressed in armor adorned with crescent moons, which stand for what is creating itself, a tunic with a square (representing willpower), and other alchemical symbols (spiritual transformation). The laurel and star crown denotes triumph, achievement, and spiritual advancement. Despite having the appearance of being the driver, the charioteer only has a wand similar to The Magician, signifying that he has complete control over the vehicle through the power of his will and mind.
The charioteer is perfectly straight; he doesn't believe in sitting down because he is all about acting and going forward. A canopy of six-pointed stars can be seen above him, indicating his ties to the celestial realm and the Divine will. A black and white sphinx, which stands for duality, positive and negative, and occasionally opposing forces, is placed in front of the car. The charioteer uses the sheer force of will and determination to steer the chariot in the desired direction despite the sphinxes pulling in opposite directions.
A broad river flows behind the chariot, signifying the need to advance toward your objectives and intentions while also being "in the flow" with life's rhythm.
NOTE: The Tarot card meaning description is based on the Rider Waite cards.

Upright Chariot Meaning
The Chariot is a card of strength, will, and determination. With the help of The Lovers card, you have learned how to make choices that are consistent with your values, and you are now acting on those choices. The Chariot is a sign of encouragement when it appears in a Tarot reading. You have set your goals and are working tirelessly to achieve them by drawing on your inner strength. You will be successful if you use discipline, commitment, and willpower to accomplish your goals.
You shouldn't sit back and wait for things to go your way at this point. Regardless of any obstacles that may arise—and trust me, there will be obstacles—take focused action and stay the course. Your resolve and strength may be put to the test as you feel conflicting pressures. Others may try to obstruct you, divert your attention, or slow down the pursuit of your objective. The Chariot, however, is a call to use your willpower and focus on what's most important to you to overcome the barriers in your path.
If you're wondering if you have what it takes to achieve your goal or finish a major project, The Chariot is a sign that you will be successful as long as you stay focused and confident in your abilities. You must exercise self-control and willpower to focus on the task at hand. Cutting corners or choosing a simple path will lead to failure. Instead, consider this endeavor a test of your resolve and fortitude, and remember that success is possible if you persevere.
The Chariot calls you to take charge and show courage. You will not get your way unless you are bold in setting your boundaries and expressing your desires. You must believe in yourself and have a solid understanding of your identity and values (thus building off the personal belief systems and values established through The Lovers card).
The Chariot can, in a very literal sense, stand in for travel, particularly driving or going on a road trip. You might even be thinking about relocating by selling your house and getting an RV!
Reversed Chariot Meaning
When The Chariot is upright, it's time to press ahead with a major undertaking and get past any roadblocks that might stand in the way of your goals. Reversed, however, The Chariot instructs you to "back up the truck" or, as we Aussies say, "Chuck a U-y" (also known as "do a U-turn"). When you try to push a project forward when you should back off or change course, you might feel like you're banging your head against a brick wall. Another possibility is that you've lost your drive and are no longer as dedicated to the result as you were when you first started. Therefore, reassess the situation and check in to see if it's an indication that you need to change course if something is not progressing as you had anticipated.
At times, The Chariot Reversed is a warning that you are allowing obstacles and challenges to get in your way, preventing you from accomplishing what you set out to do. You lack the will to continue because everything is becoming too difficult. If that strikes a chord with you, take a moment to reflect on the things that are most important to you and the reasons why you want to accomplish this. Will you let other people's viewpoints influence you or give up as soon as things get difficult? Or are you going to follow through on your promise?
The Chariot Reversed may be a sign that you are devoting your time and effort to internal processes like self-control, inner resolve, and personal commitment before taking any action. You might focus on the goals that are in line with your higher self. Alternatively, you can use meditation and visualization to make sure your energy is in line with your objectives. These inward-directed actions are crucial to ensure that you are prepared to act when the time comes.
If you like to be in control of your destiny and have a plan for where you are going, seize this chance to tighten the reins and practice greater discipline. The key is to consider what you can control and what you cannot, even though feeling like you have lost control can be very demoralizing. Avoid worrying about things that are beyond your control because you cannot change them right now. Instead, concentrate your efforts on the things that you CAN control.
Consider your options for improving the situation.
Similarly, The Chariot Reversed makes the case that you might be trying to control every small aspect of your life, but in doing so, you end up feeling even more out of control. Release your hold and allow events to unfold naturally. Be receptive to offers of assistance and then express gratitude for what you get, even if it falls short of your expectations. You're not always required to be behind the wheel!

The High Priestess Tarot Card Description
The High Priestess sits in front of a thin veil decorated with pomegranates. The veil serves to block out casual observers and symbolizes the division between the conscious and subconscious worlds, the seen and the unseen. It is only open to the initiated. Pomegranates are a symbol of fertility, abundance, and the divine feminine. They are also sacred to Persephone, who was compelled to visit the underworld every year after eating a pomegranate seed there.
The entrance to this holy, mystical temple is marked by two pillars that stand on either side of The High Priestess (also associated with the Temple of Solomon). Boaz, which means "in his strength," is written on one pillar in black, and Jachin, which means "he will establish," is written in white. The pillars' masculine and feminine, darkness and light, and duality-symbolizing hues signify that to enter this sacred space, one must understand and accept duality.
The High Priestess is depicted as having divine knowledge and ruling over the universe by wearing a blue robe with a cross on her chest and a horned diadem (or crown). She holds a scroll with the letter TORA, which stands for the Greater Law, in her lap (according to A. E. Waite). The fact that it is partially hidden denotes that this secret knowledge is both explicit and implicit and that it won't be made public until the student is prepared to look beyond the physical world. The crescent moon at her feet represents her affinity with the divine feminine, as well as her intuition, subconsciousness, and the moon's regular cycles.

Upright High Priestess Meaning
The High Priestess is the protector of the subconscious mind and a teacher of sacred knowledge and hidden mysteries, whereas The Magician is the guardian of the conscious mind and the material world. The High Priestess, who resides at the juncture of the conscious and subconscious mind, has an innate ability to effortlessly transition between these worlds. She teaches you that deeper forces are frequently at work and that things are not always as they seem. She guides you past the flimsy curtain of awareness, giving you a profound, intuitive understanding of the Universe and a heightened sensitivity to unspoken or hidden knowledge.
The High Priestess represents inner illumination, divine knowledge, and wisdom on a spiritual level. She appears in your Tarot readings when you have the chance to access knowledge buried deep within your soul and the barrier between the worlds is thin.
The best time to tune into your intuition is right now when you are still. Your innermost truth and "knowing" will hold the solutions you're looking for. As you explore the depths of your subconscious mind and tap into this inner wisdom, let The High Priestess serve as your guide. Through meditation, visualization, shamanic journeying, and being a part of spiritual communities, you can connect with your intuition and Higher Self.
Right now, your intuitive sense is helping you learn useful information and improve your connection to your subconscious. Allowing yourself the time and space to meditate and pay attention to your inner voice will help you find the solutions to these problems, not through thinking and rationalizing but by tuning into and trusting your intuition. Inspect your life for any potential imbalances or areas where "flow" and ease is lacking.
A time of enhanced psychic insight and intuition is currently in effect. The High Priestess gives you more inspiration to keep moving forward and have faith that you are on the right course if you are honing these abilities. Your intuition will start to flow more when you pay attention to it.
The Divine Feminine, which is your connection to your intuition, compassion, empathy, and inner wisdom, is being called upon you, and The High Priestess is a sign of this. Whatever your gender, you must balance and integrate your masculine and feminine energies, and The High Priestess's presence indicates that your sacred feminine requires your immediate attention. Feel instead of thinking. Instead of battling it out, cooperate. Make rather than take away. Even though the masculine energy around you might seem to be stronger, trust your Divine Feminine energy. Instead of concealing your capacity to nurture, trust, sense, and empathize, be proud of it.
Reversed High Priestess Meaning
You are urged to be still and turn inward to hear your voice and wisdom by The High Priestess Reversed. When you should be concentrating on what is best for you, you may be swayed by other people's opinions or drawn into their drama. It's time to calm down and remove yourself from the outside world so you can observe what your inner guidance is telling you right now.
Do you find it difficult to fully trust your intuition? Perhaps you doubt your ability to tune in and receive this powerful information because you think you're silly or guilty of following your intuition. You might also hide your intuitive abilities from others out of concern for their opinions or judgments. If this strikes a chord with you, know that your intuition is your superpower and is there to lead and assist you. Trust the Universe and permit yourself to flow with its energies. Give up and let go.
Trust that The High Priestess is always there for you when you need her by visualizing her as the serene center inside of you that is untouched by your surroundings. Find a calm area and meditate there so you can hear her voice whenever you feel like things are just getting too crazy. The solution will come to you if you stop worrying or overthinking your problem and instead make space for your intuition to communicate with you.
Finally, The High Priestess' secrecy may point to rumors and unspoken plans. Others might be withholding information from you or spreading untruths about you while speaking behind your back. Have an open and honest conversation to bring these secrets to the surface and address them rather than making assumptions or delving into the depths of paranoia.
