August 1569
the world’s card for the month

The Chariot card in the Tarot represents a drive toward ambition and purpose. It's all about getting into action after making significant choices, like those made during the Lovers card. The imagery of a chariot pulled by two creatures facing different directions captures the essence of focus and will. You steer your own path rather than being dragged along by external pressures.
