You Have To Put Up With The Rain If You Want A Rainbow.
Today’s tarot card is the Chariot. Everyone wants to be appreciated when they do a good job. It feels awful when your efforts go unnoticed. However, life has to happen out of self-approval and celebrating yourself first after doing the right thing. You have often wanted people to see the good you do, and you feel demoralized when no one applauds you. This card encourages you to move forward and find a bigger purpose for doing things other than people’s acceptance.
In the Chariot card, there is an image of a strong warrior standing inside a chariot. He wears a tunic with alchemical symbols and a square shape on it. This signifies your unlimited willpower and the transformation that you have started. He wears a crown that indicates your success, the battles you have conquered while getting there, and gives you credit for choosing to evolve. You have been able to control your life by putting your mind to the right things and being able to push yourself further despite the obstacles you meet. Life does not just happen to you; you make things happen how you want them to, this is indicated in the card, that although the warrior seems to be driving the chariot, he holds a wand, rather than using the reins. The warrior is standing and looks forward to battle which means that you are all about taking action. You do not wait to get credit from people, instead, you desire to see your mission accomplished first. In front of the Chariot, there is a black and a white sphinx which represents opposing forces that you will meet along the way, it serves as a warning to not expect everyone to support you. There is also a canopy of six-pointed stars which show your connection to the universe and that you are serving a divine purpose. Behind the Chariot, there is a flowing river which means there is a need for you to continue pushing forward without tiring and being aligned to the ways of life. You have been strong amid opposition, continue to use your willpower and make a resolution to not be stopped.
Often you feel let down when people do not celebrate you after doing a good job. You harbor feelings of resentment towards them and feel as if they owe you something. However, you do not see a problem when you move very quickly from your successes seeking the other mountain to conquer. No one will give you more credit than you give yourself. You have been working very hard and you can notice yourself conquering huge milestones. You are determined to see a change in your life and nothing is stopping you. You have not had an easy past and it is your goal to change the narrative. You have your tunic on and you have started the needed transformation right from the way you view things. You are celebrating yourself more, and you do not hesitate to give yourself credit. You realize after these events; you have more strength to do even more. This card calls you to find joy in telling yourself the right things. Connect your subconscious to your conscious and allow victorious things to flow from you.
Not every time things will work out, sometimes you will do your best and things just don’t move as fast as you would desire. This doesn’t make the credit you deserve any less. You are doing your best and you have the will to move towards success, however, the universe is taking you to a path of lessons first, where you have to toughen up. In the card, the black and white Sphinxes warn you to expect opposition. You know beforehand that it will not be an easy conquest. This way you need to prepare yourself mentally and physically before you start. You may have met people who discredit what you do and your efforts, it often does not come from a place of truth but rather they feel threatened with your success and strength. Do not allow this to lead you to self-doubt. Know that it is the rhythm of life to go up and down, and when you are down, encourage yourself that good days are yet to come.
In the Card, the warrior shows the ability to go to battle, when he is in the chariot it means he has gone through training to earn the position. It is best to create a good reputation and be a reliable person, however, it is not easy work. You have been on a journey of self-discovery and your progress is highly noticeable. People admire the person you are becoming and would want you to impact their lives. You have been a person of action and you do not go slow on your goals and intentions. You have found ways of going through the barriers you meet and you are no longer stoppable. This card indicates that you should not get comfortable while on the journey of life, but rather always push yourself further to move from where you were. There is always a new level to get to, enjoy this process because it is not going to stop. The universe works to reward you with what you deserve. You have been fulfilling your divine purpose and have created a good credit for yourself by your continuous resilience. Continue making the sky your limit.
You have to get tired of living a purposeless life. Stop waiting for credit from people, because it sets you on a roller coaster that lacks stability because you do not know how people will react to you all the time. Steer your Chariot fearlessly, you are here as an independent individual, with dreams and goals that are unique to you.
