The Chariot Across Decks 🎴✨
Don't stop me now!
The Chariot is about momentum: the energy that keeps us moving toward what we want. In Rider–Waite–Smith–inspired decks, this is usually shown as a literal chariot pulled forward by opposing forces. In modern decks, the imagery may change, but the message remains the same: drive, determination, and forward motion.
1. Light Seer’s — Modern and inclusive
The Light Seer’s is one of the best-known modern decks. In this image, the figure crouched on the roof of the chariot doesn’t appear to be in control in a traditional sense - but he isn’t worried. He’s allowing fate and momentum to carry him exactly where he needs to go.
Chariot Vibes:
🧪 Key themes: movement, willpower, no hesitation
🎨 Emotional tone: trusting, open
✨ Unique: Look closely - the horses aren’t attached to the carriage. This journey is powered purely by intention and will.
2. Labyrinth Tarot — Fandom fun
Anyone who’s seen Labyrinth will instantly recognise Sir Didymus, the bravest knight in the realm. Didymus never hesitates when he wants something - whether charging into danger or protecting Sarah. He simply goes.
Chariot Vibes:
🧪 Key themes: momentum, courage, heroism
🎨 Emotional tone: fearless, unwavering
✨ Unique: Didymus’ “chariot” isn’t a vehicle at all - it’s Ambrosius, his loyal steed, carrying him forward without question.
3. Everyday Witch — Colourful and cute
The most contemporary of the three, this card shows a young witch on a motorbike paused at a crossroads. Whichever direction she chooses, she has the power to get herself - and her ever-present cat companion - where she wants to go.
Chariot Vibes:
🧪 Key themes: direction, self-determination, power
🎨 Emotional tone: decisive, bright
✨ Unique: The road signs are black and white - a subtle nod to the traditional opposing steeds of the RWS Chariot.
Reflection
Across decks, the Chariot reminds us that progress comes from focus, commitment, and trusting our own momentum. Once we choose a direction, the path opens beneath our wheels.
Where do you need to go today?
