The Chariot
The Chariot signifies steady progression toward clear goals, driven by willpower, motivation, and practical wisdom. Its symbolism of duality (the black and white cats) and lack of reins emphasizes certainty and propulsion by inner will. Reversed, it urges a review of goals and methods, warning against undue ruthlessness and being pulled in conflicting directions that hinder progress. It advises stepping back to realign motivations and choose a single, more ethical and effective path forward.

There is a definitive sense of direction that propels the journey. Challenges are considered, addressed, and overcome. The black and white cats indicate duality, and they look in two different directions. The Chariot has no reins and is propelled by force of will.
Reverse
The Chariot reversed asks you to interrogate your goals and means of achieving them. Check for undue ruthlessness and question honestly whether the ends are worth the current means. There may be better ways forward. The Chariot may also be telling you that you are being pulled in several different directions, but you can only chart one way forward. Take a step back and figure out what your motivations should be before you continue your journey.
