The Chariot Card is the seventh card in the Major Arcana. When pulled, it often represents a form of success and the willpower and determination it takes to get there. As a major arcana card, it often represents a major event in your life, such as landing a new job, buying a house, or something else that is meaningful to you.
In its upright position, the Chariot often means you are on a path to success, and as long as you keep working through any obstacles that come your way, you will be victorious. In a reverse position, it often means you lack focus and self-discipline to keep your chariot on the right path. Perhaps you are spending too much energy on certain things or trying to control too many aspects of your life.

The Major Arcana
The Chariot is a member of the Major Arcana suite. Unlike the other four suites in a Tarot Deck, the Major Arcana delivers messages about the bigger picture and overall direction of your life. For example, the 3 of pentacles may talk about everyday collaboration at work and its success, while the Chariot signifies overall success in your career.
These cards pop up when you may be facing major life decisions, such as marriage, changing careers, moving, or welcoming a new member into the family.
