Hello. Hello and welcome to Tarobites. I'm Theresa Reed the Tarot Lady. I'm the

creator of the Tarot Master Class and the author of the Taro coloring book. I'm also your host for this

podcast series. This is episode 17 of Taro Bites. The podcast where I dish out short entertaining bite-sized lessons on how to

re-terrow. For today's episode, our topic is The Chariot. So if you're ready, let's begin. is the

the 8th card in the major or can of series and he's numbered 7

That's why this might be the eighth card, but it's numbered seven.

The chariot symbolizes victory and willpower.

So why don't we dig in and explore some of the symbols in this mighty card?

Now, first of all, I want to say this, I'm a big fan of looking at expressions and body language and if you look at the

chariot we could see that this figure has a determined look on his face and

his physical posture, it suggests confidence. Even

his armor has that vibe of protection and security. And you know, armor does

symbolize protection.

So this is a sign that this figure is well suited for any challenges ahead.

He's ready for action or war.

Now moons symbolize the subconscious or the hidden forces that guide and motivate us.

In 78 degrees of wisdom Rachel Pollack notes that these lunar plates refer to the high priestess.

Now keep in mind that the chariot masters the will while the high priestess is in charge of the intuitive faculties.

So if we see her in this figure, like Pollack suggests, we're seeing the energy between instinct and will, which is a powerful

combination. Now his crown also has a symbol of a star, and the curtains also contain stars.
