The Chariot
The Chariot shows an armored charioteer in a winged carriage drawn by a black and a white sphinx, representing opposing forces and the need for directed will. It emphasizes victory through swift action, travel, and trusting intuitive guidance to shape destiny. The card's links to Cancer, the Moon, and the Hebrew letter Cheth suggest emotional guidance, boundary-setting, and protective movement. Upright, it urges seizing the moment and moving forward; reversed, it calls for clarifying goals, gaining traction, and grounding oneself when stuck.

Description
An armored charioteer stands in the carriage. He holds a wand in his right hand. The armor is mostly grey with some bits of gold for accents. The pauldrons have crescent moons with faces melded into them. His helm has three eight-pointed stars affixed to it. The face shield is down and we cannot see who is behind the metal. A cloth showing the night sky has been draped over the tent, connecting the powers of this charioteer with the night sky. Wings are affixed to the front of the carriage. There are no reins holding the chariot to the creatures which draw it. Two sphinxes, one black and one white sit in front of the chariot, their faces looking in two different directions. The charioteer is away from a city and waterway in the background.

Visual Description
A helmeted, armored charioteer stands behind the front of a stone chariot beneath a draped, star-studded canopy; a seven-pointed star motif crowns his helm. He holds a staff in his right hand and appears facing forward over a chariot plate bearing a winged sphere and a luminous geometric star. Two sphinx-like figures, one darker and one lighter, recline at the base of the chariot on left and right. A faint cityscape sits in the background, the Roman numeral VII appears at the top, and the word "Колесница" is printed along the bottom.
