The Chariot Reversed Tarot Meaning and Interpretation

The Chariot Reversed Tarot Meaning

The Chariot reversed is still a card about movement. This movement can be literal from one physical place to another or metaphysical; a change in which you or someone close to you needs a change in their heart and/or mind.

General

The reversed Chariot can indicate that you need to take a hard look at where you are going and why. Don’t allow yourself to engage in movement just for the sake of movement. Purpose and direction is important at most times but is extra important to you at this moment.

Love

When The Chariot reversed appears you may have come to the conclusion that you have met someone very special and that you need to push hard to get into this relationship, or vice versa, you are feeling as though you probably need to get out of one.

In reversal, there’s a signal here that you should temper either impulse, especially that of pursuing a new relationship too enthusiastically. There’s a reason why they say, “Good things come to those who wait.” Don’t be afraid to wait!

If you have not yet met someone special, then The Chariot reversed indicates (for want of a better way of putting it) that you are barking up the wrong tree. It’s like the old computer game “Leisure Suit Larry: Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places.” That’s what you’re doing so get out there and start looking in places anew.

Money and Finances

You may be feeling a great deal of energy toward getting things accomplished and improving your financial lot in life. There is nothing wrong with this, however, receiving this card reversed can indicate a need to slow down and solicit at least one or two more opinions about your planned course of action.

Always remember this fundamental principle: if something appears to be too good to be true, it likely is. Exercise caution and be vigilant.

Work and Career

The Chariot reversed may well point to a tendency to push too far, too fast. Yes, your ideas are good, and yes, you are right to be enthusiastic about them. However, you cannot expect others to be at the same speed as you are. Be circumspect and try to frame your messages in a variety of ways so that others can see where you’re coming from.

Those of you looking for a job have a lot to bring to the table so remember that when you’re being interviewed and make sure that don’t come across as desperate even if you are. Letting desperation is going to lessen your chance of being hired.

Health

You may be all fired up and ready to move forward in taking steps to improve your health. That’s a good thing, but don’t get carried away and end up exercising too much as that will create a counter-productive situation.

You can’t and shouldn’t go from zero to 120 miles per hour overnight as you’d risk injury or at the least starting something you won’t finish. Improve your fitness gradually.

Spirituality

The Chariot reversed in the context of spirituality means you may have the feeling that you have finally found some spiritual answers that you have long been searching for.

There is doubtless some truth to this; however, when the card is in reverse, there is a slight warning implied here. By all means explore the new-found spiritual understanding, however, think ten or twelve times before entrusting your entire spiritual being to someone else or to an organization. Trust yourself, first.

The Chariot Reversed Single Card Meaning Yes/No/Maybe Questions

The Chariot reversed is positive but not a strong positive. It’s a “Maybe” leaning towards “Yes.”

The Chariot Reversed Tarot Meaning in Conclusion

The Chariot reversed is a card that, while it may appear to indicate stagnation or setback, is still fundamentally about movement. In tarot, the Chariot symbolizes determination, willpower, and the drive to overcome obstacles.

However, when reversed, it suggests that this movement might not be as straightforward or well-directed as it ideally should be.
