Angel Paths for September 30 - The Chariot
msesheta
The Chariot
The Chariot is numbered seven and usually
depicts a warrior driving a chariot triumphantly
home. The chariot is drawn by powerful and wild
creatures. These creatures are our Will - a
wayward beast to control at the best of times!
The Chariot represents the principle that the
human Will functions only when the whole being
is behind it. This card is about the struggles
we have with ourselves and with life. It
promises that with diligence, honesty and
perseverence we can overcome the most
insurmountable of obstacles.
This is a hopeful and encouraging card,
reminding us that we can climb to the heights if
we want to. Here we are taught how to master the
opposing forces within us, in order to bring
them and thus ourselves into harmony. We are
cosmic warriors, unfurling, learning and growing
- divine and vital parts of the Universe.
Working with the Chariot card
This is a card which contains within it great
dynamism, strength and power. Often, when it
comes up, it indicates a period where we feel we
have struggled through a difficult and demanding
time, battling against long odds to achieve the
things that we need out of life. It does confirm
that we have emerged victorious, though we may
feel a bit battered and weary.
So in one sense the Chariot marks the time of
respite and peace after the battle is won. But
it indicates something else very important too.
After every battle, once we have rested and
recuperated, it becomes necessary to begin a new
flow of energy - we have to clean up the debris
of the struggle, plan our next move, determine
the direction we intend to move in now.
But when the Chariot emerges it indicates
something else as well - as a result of the
difficulties and struggles now at an end, we
shall need to change some of the features of our
lives. So it also indicates big changes, and
promises that these will be beneficial and
rewarding, bringing further triumph and success
with them.
So on a day ruled by the Chariot, allow yourself
a big sigh of relief, and know that recent
problems are coming to an end. Then consider
what might be left to be finished up with regard
to those events. And once you've done that, turn
your face to the future and decide what would be
the best new direction for you.
Try to think through each step of this new
impulse, so that your plans are carefully laid.
It's important now to pay close attention to
detail, because once these changes begin, life
will be moving very fast indeed and there will
be no room for catching up on things (I write
this sighing somewhat, because I'm already
having trouble keeping up with the speed of my
life at the minute ;-).
Affirmation: I move through life triumphantly.
