From Touchstone TarotTM by Kat Black
The Chariot
Meanings
United we stand. An inspiring leader brings together conflicting parties. Victory through compromise. Force of will, motivation, commitment to a common goal.
Reversed (?)
Disquiet ignored can lead to rebellion. Possible collapse of an agreement through petty squabbles. Take care to prevent minor complaints escalating.
Description
A warrior woman rides in a golden chariot, her hair and robe flying in the wind. Her plumed helmet is topped by a sphinx, and she carries a scepter and shield. Her chariot is decorated by a roaring lion, but a white dove flies in the sky behind her, trailing a golden cloud.
