February 2012
the world’s card for the month
The collective card for February 2012 is The Chariot. It’s the same for everyone alive this month, set by the date alone, and it sits in the initiation third of the wheel.
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.
How February 2012 becomes The Chariot
The collective year card for 2012 is The Hierophant (5). Add the month number (February is month 2): 5 + 2 = 7. Card 7 is The Chariot.
