The Chariot Month

Water

This month your card is the Chariot. Move the thing that's been waiting to move. The energy is behind you and the traction is real. The thing to watch: the Chariot month can tip into motion for its own sake, the feeling of productivity without the substance of it. Check the direction once before you drive. Then drive.

The card behind the month

Your month card is The Chariot, one of the twenty-two Majors. Here’s what it means at full length.

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.
