Sulis
A white horse fills the card. He looks as if he is galloping towards us, his mane is flying behind him which gives the impression that he's going fast or is he standing still but standing in a head wind? Behind him is a small, white disk that looks like the sun with lots of rays emanating from it, on his forehead is a dark crescent moon and around his neck on a chain is a pentacle (a pentagram within a circle).. The corners of the card are red and that's the only colour that there is.
I think this is such a powerful image.. He looks like a wild stallion, pure power and beauty.. His features are very delicate but there is nothing fragile about this image at all.
The pentacle is a sign or protection as well as the symbol for the element of Earth in tarot.. Outside of tarot it's a magical symbol, symbolising The Universe; 4 elements, ruled over by the fifth element, Spirit and encircled and joined together by the invisible forces of The Universe... Heavy stuff .
7 is a magical number - it's associated with going deeper, initiation, and problem solving.. 7 days in a week, 7 colours in a rainbow so 7 colours to make up light, 7 chakras...
The Chariot comes after The Lovers so it's about striking out on your own, leaving childhood behind and going in search of new and wonderful things.
It's a card of bravery and of getting things under control so that you can do what you want to do.. Often for me it's about getting opposing emotions under control.. It's also about protection - a chariot is a war vehicle, something to charge in and something that will protect you from an enemy's assault.
This card often says to me that will power and strength are needed to get me or my querant through something.. It says that there will be problems along the way (bumps in the road) but I will be able to overcome them if I use self control and remain in control of things.
The red corners of this image really stand out for me.. Not sure what they mean exactly but they seem to add emphasis and power to this image.
