The Chariot

What should I know about today?

The appearance of The Chariot suggests you may be facing conflicts or difficulties today. If so, you are required to find the warrior spirit within you in order to tackle and overcome these difficulties, and to show determination and self discipline to get you through. If you are able to fight in this warrior-like way, you will be rewarded with a period of peace, knowing that your main battles are won. However, the appearance of this card can also warn that you may be tempted to shy away from your problems, fearful or uncertain of how to approach the battles that face you. By choosing this path, you may miss an opportunity to put your problems behind you, so try as best you can to be brave and bring the spirit of the Chariot into action.

Facing difficulties

Just imagine a Chariot hurtling into battle, being driven by a team of charging horses. It must have been an awesome sight. That is the image that this card summons up: A powerful one-man fighting unit ready to do battle and take on the world. The Chariot represents this spirit and the determination to succeed in all the battles we face in life. There are times when it is right to go with the flow and there are times when compromise is the best approach. Yet when this card turns up, it often indicates that what is needed is a gritty determination to win. It is important to remember, however, that many of our conflicts are internal ones, so this card should not be taken as a license to go out and do battle with the world.

Nine of Coins

How should I approach this day?

The appearance of the Nine of Coins in this position could be advising you to reward yourself for your efforts. Perhaps you have been struggling a lot recently or have put in a lot of hard work over a long period of time. Now is the time to treat yourself to something you might have longed to do for a while but not allowed yourself, such as a spa treatment or a trip to that art gallery you've been wishing you had the time to visit. The card could also be asking you to notice where you are taking beautiful things in life for granted. Are you the sort of person who doesn't have time to smell the flowers or to watch beautiful sunsets? This may be a call to you to spend more time on pursuits which do not involve goal-setting. Try as best you can to achieve this balance between being and doing.

Take it easy

The Nine of Coins symbolizes enjoyment of the "finer" things in life. This card may appear when we are deserving of some luxury in our lives, such as a spa, a pampering, or just some simple nurturing. This may come after a period of hard work, when we reach saturation or exhaustion and need to be rewarded and revitalized. When we are feeling "heavy" in ourselves, this is often a sign that it is time for the pleasures recommended by this card. We may feel sometimes as if these luxuries are not as abundant as we might wish, and that we deserve more pampering than we can afford. However, the pleasures associated with this card also come when we are able to open our curiosity to the beauty of the world, and of all the sights, smells, tastes, and sounds around us, which are free to enjoy. Unfortunately, this appreciation is not handed to us on a plate, but is something we need to work for, requiring patience, persistence, and discipline. Yet when we are able to open our senses to this deeper appreciation of life, we can be fed by its generous and complimentary offerings forever.

The Tower

What is the true potential of this day?

The presence of the Tower suggests you will face powerful and positive changes today. Before this happens, you may be able to sense a stagnant feeling in the air, like the kind you feel just before a storm breaks. If the storm does break, then welcome it. If not, see what you can do to make big changes yourself. You shouldn't expect an easy ride when the Tower appears, but bear in mind how much more peaceful the world seems after the storm.

Big changes ahead

The meaning of the Tower is a simple but sometimes unsettling one. It stands for dramatic upheaval and violent changes. The card depicts a scene of devastation where a tower is brought crashing down by a fork of lightening, representing a sudden dramatic reversal in fortune. For those who don't like change, this card will not be welcome, as sometimes change does not give us time to adapt, but can be abrupt and come without warning. However, sometimes that's just what we need: to be shaken up or given a wake-up call. Although it may not seem so as it's happening, it is times like these that can be most beneficial to us.
