The Chariot

Todays card is the seventh of the major arcana. In most decks it is called the Chariot, in this deck it is Mastery. It shows a fair haired man in a breast plate and red cloak in a chariot he holds the rains to his team of four horses. Each of these horses seem to be of a different element, fire, water, earth and air. His hand is raised but instead of a whip it holds a stem with leaves and flowers on it.

Control, mastering the elements of the energy around us, is the point of the card. Triumph is also a strong part of it. It is a day to look at my control over the things within my sphere of influence. Do I use the control I have over the things I should? It also recomends control with a soft touch, not forcing things to bend to my will, but instead allowing my influence to be more subtle.
