The Chariot is the card that refers to heading out on a big adventure. We may deal with many situations that we’ve never encountered before, so sometimes it’s necessary to attempt to simultaneously make more than one person happy. We may have to juggle priorities in such a way that all of these obligations are fulfilled. The Chariot is a card that’s all about the balancing of opposing forces. We discover something new and then try to accomplish great things for the first time. This mastering of many things at once is done via the mind, a dedicated purpose, and sheer will.
The Chariot is a card of success, so it can indicate an upcoming promotion, job offer, or award. This card often asks us to feel safe when promoting ourselves or our endeavors in the media. Obviously, it can also symbolize modes of transportation such as cars, planes, or trains.
The Dreamer’s Journey
Next on our voyage we encounter The Chariot. All the cards along the journey so far have led us to this moment. We’ve taken our leap of faith; have become clear on what we wish to accomplish; and have created a plan that includes logic, morality, and heart. Now we head out into the world to put all of that to the test.
With The Chariot, we discover that life is challenging. There are always people to please, multiple considerations to balance, and many moving parts to our chariot that must be maintained. Here, we discover that there’s a power in merely desiring that our endeavors be a success; we learn self-discipline and determination.
The charioteer is generally seen as having been victorious on his quest—so much so that the accolades thrown his way make him very visible in the public eye. For some, the joy of that is natural, and it requires no effort beyond accepting it and simply taking a bow. For others, that type of acknowledgment can feel very uncomfortable. The Chariot teaches us to have pride in our accomplishments and to allow others to express their appreciation in a public way.
Symbolism
Metatron rides his chariot pulled by two horses: one black, one white. These are competing forces that The Chariot rider is so masterfully keeping in perfect balance.
His reins aren’t real, but made of energy to symbolize his ability to use pure desire to keep these raucous forces working together.
On the side of the chariot is the merkabah, otherwise known as “Metatron’s Cube.” This magical creation is called the “chariot of God” and is a symbol of sacred geometry. We can focus on this image to help us manifest anything we’re trying to create.
Angel Number
The Chariot is Card 7. This is a number of single-mindedness and purpose that seeks out the truth in every situation. A very spiritual number, it fits in well with the concept of a human who ascends to the realm of archangel and then rides a magical chariot to Heaven. Clearly, Metatron is following his life path perfectly!
Archangel
The archangel on this card is Metatron, returning for a second appearance. We chose him because he’s one of two archangels who were once human. He was said to have so pleased God that he rode to Heaven in a chariot of fire. Metatron can also help recharge our batteries so that we have the energy necessary to fulfill our goals. His colors are green and violet, or dark pink.
Astrology
The astrology for this card is Cancer. While this is a very watery sign for such an action-filled card, keep in mind that Cancers are greatly concerned with security and being in control. Cancers are tenacious and very adaptable, which helps them maintain a mastery over any situation that assures success.
