THE CHARIOT--RULED BY CANCER

KEYWORDS: Home, car, travel, family, protecter of your own enviroment.

Spiritual Meaning: You are the protecter of your own environment.

When this card appears in a reading, you may look upon the occupant of The Chariot as "the knight in shining armor". He is there for your protection. Just as he stands there, ready to protect and defend the town behind him, this card signifies that you are being protected in some manner.

Again we encounter the theme of duality in the cards. The black and white sphinxs crouched in front of the chariot represent the male and the female, or the negative and positive which exist in each of us, and which must be brought into union, or harmony, and made to work together in harmony.

You will note the symbol of health on the front of the chariot. If you are reading for someone who is already ill and this card appears in their spread, the symbol of health, coupled with the meaning of protection which comes with the card, can be interpreted to mean that they will have protection and recovery from their health problem.

In Numerology, the Number Seven, numerical ruler of this card, represents travel and study. If you update the chariot from the days when the cards were designed, you will have a car, which The Chariot can also represent in the spread, depending upon the cards which suround it.

Astrologically, The Chariot is ruled by Cancer, which is the Ruler of the home and the family. When this card appears in the reading, it is dealing with a matter or situation related to the home and /or the family of the querent.

This is one of the cards which must be studied closely in a reading. You must decide which area of the querent's life the card appears in and study the cards which accompany it to discern which of the keywords apply in this particular reading.
