Aligned in Motion: A Chariot Spread
A tarot spread for intentional movement, balance, and self-trust
The Chariot teaches us that true progress comes not from urgency but from alignment—from knowing when to take the reins and when to flow with the journey. This spread is designed to help you assess your direction, balance structure with ease, and ensure your movement aligns with your deeper purpose.
Key Themes of The Chariot
Intentional Movement – Progress should come from alignment, not urgency.
Balancing Opposing Forces – Like the figure in the card holding the reins of two different creatures, success requires balancing structure and flow, action, and patience.
Self-Trust & Willpower – The Chariot asks: Are you steering your own path, or are you letting external forces pull you in different directions?
