Reversed
Symbolism:
The Chariot is a sinister yet majestic vehicle drawn by two spectral horses, one black and one white, representing opposing forces. A Nosferatu figure stands at its helm, cloaked in shadows, holding a whip of shadowy tendrils. The chariot races through a mist-laden nightscape, its wheels crushing fallen leaves and brittle bones, symbolizing the journey's sacrifices and challenges.

Meaning:
The Chariot signifies determination, control, and the will to overcome obstacles. It calls for focused effort and harnessing conflicting energies to achieve a goal. This card often appears when decisive action and self-discipline are needed to navigate a complex situation. It encourages you to take charge of your direction and steer with purpose.

Reversed, the Chariot warns of recklessness, a loss of direction, or being overwhelmed by opposing forces. It may also point to a lack of confidence or an inability to move forward.

Keywords:
Reversed: Lack of control, recklessness, stagnation, self-doubt, misdirection, failure to progress.
