Divination: Tarot, Major Arcana 7 - The Chariot

Dear Reader,

Due to technical issues here on Blogger, I am unable to post the image of this week's card from one of my favorite decks. It is the Chariot from the Deviant Moon Tarot by Patrick Valenza. This card is true to the 'deviant' theme of the deck because it does not feature the standard image of a person struggling with two horses pulling in different directions as they are riding in a chariot. Instead, it features a clockwork monstrosity that is simply glorious.

The Chariot indicates a decision, much like the Lovers. The decision called for by the Chariot is far more challenging and is often between two equally severe options. In an upright (also known as direct) orientation, the Chariot suggests that the decision is not one of great strife. In a downward (also known as reversed) orientation, the Chariot speaks of difficulties with the decision and a possibility of confrontation.

In the Fool's Journey, the charioteer is the Fool wrestling between his desires and needs, struggling to balance them in order to successfully move forward in his journey.

The card is visible on the mirror blog's post for today.
