Time to Grab the Reins

(Albano-Waite)

This week is being brought you to by The Chariot card along with the beginnings of autumn vibes. The Chariot card is Key No. 7 of the Major Arcana. In the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) deck, you’ll see it portrayed with a person in a chariot that’s to be pulled by two sphinxes. Make sure you notice there are no visible reins and the sphinxes currently look like they’re taking a break. Also notice that the future badass in the chariot is outside the city walls, not dependent on anyone’s support or direction.
 
The Chariot can announce that a life choice must be made. It’s time to decide what you want, and if you just want it or if you’re truly committed to making it happen. This Chariot can transport you to your goal only as fast as you can keep up, but you have to keep focused on the right things in your life.
 
Remember me mentioning there are no reins for the chariot? That’s because this chariot is truly yourself, your own means of transport, and it’s intended to be driven by your own mental faculties. Your thoughts are truly the reins, the very contents of your own mind, and they will determine where your chariot ends up.
 
It’s important to make a clear decision. Then, enflame your mind with your vision in order to manifest it. Rein in the conflicting activities, stop wasting your energy, stop binge watching yet another television series, and point your energy in the direction you want to drive your life. Dreams begin with making a decision about what it is you truly want and how committed you’re going to be.
 
It’s so easy to become scattered and to self-sabotage our dreams. The Chariot card advises us to refocus, regroup, and to realize that we ultimately determine our own lives by the choices we make on a daily basis. Don’t forget your family, friends, and the other healthy relationships in your life, but don’t forget about the relationship with your own deeper self that hasn’t forgotten the life you want to be living.
 
Grab hold of the reins of your own mind and direct those sphinxes into action! Make that difficult decision you’ve been avoiding. Then get ready for life to change as you allow yourself to move in the direction of your deepest joy.
 
Light, Love, and Blessings…..
