The Chariot
The Chariot symbolizes determination and progress, albeit slow, towards a goal with the help of one's mental and physical energies. It represents embarking on a journey, leaving the past behind, and eventually reaching one's destination through focus and willpower. The upright position indicates control, discipline, and success, while the reversed position suggests opposition, lack of direction, and delays.

Imagery and Symbolism
On this card, we see a woman riding a snail, which appears to also be an extension of her body. She looks very confident and decisive in her progress. The spiraling shape of her headdress indicates that she relies on the power of her own mental abilities and will just as much as on the snail's physical energy to move forward.
Journey
The Chariot is on a journey of independence and leaves the past behind, represented by the silhouette of a castle in the background. Riding on a snail is very slow, and it will take time to reach the destination, but the Charioteer remains focused, and eventually, she will achieve her goal.
