The Chariot is the number 7 card of the Marseille Tarot and represents the victory achieved thanks to sacrifice and commitment. This card represents a chariot pulled by two horses, as can be seen from the figure. In some of the representations, one of the horses is represented white in color and the other is black: they depict the extreme qualities with which each of us should be endowed. The white one symbolizes the spiritual force that connects all human beings in God, the black one instead symbolizes the clash with the darkness to emerge victorious.
The card symbolizes success, intuition, discipline and courage. It also depicts how we are connected to other people with whom we share experiences in common, and it informs us of the benefits that come from sacrifice. It also symbolizes good health and strength, as well as the harmony between our mind and our body.
On the other hand, this card can represent false illusions that lead to failure, superficiality in achieving one’s goals, lack of concentration. In addition, it can also denote a moment of discouragement, waste and waste of time.
