As we draw a card for the collective energy of Tuesday, December 9, 2025, the powerful Chariot emerges. This Major Arcana card is a potent signal of determination, control, and victorious movement.
After a period of potential internal conflict or feeling pulled in two directions, The Chariot announces it’s time to take the reins and drive decisively toward your goal.
The Chariot is not about speed; it’s about directed willpower. The figure on the card controls two sphinxes (often of opposite colors), representing opposing forces or choices.
His success comes from harnessing that tension, not letting it tear him apart. For you today, this means finding your focus. What battle have you been fighting within yourself? Indecision about a career move? A conflict between logic and heart? The Chariot says you have the strength to unite these parts and move forward with confidence.
This card aligns beautifully with today’s Jupiter-Uranus trine in astrology. Both energies are about breakthrough progress. The Chariot provides the focus and control needed to channel that sudden, expansive energy productively.
It warns against recklessness—the Uranian bolt of inspiration needs the Charioteer’s steady hand to be truly successful.
In practical terms, this could mean finally making that decision you’ve been stewing over, taking concrete action on a plan, or asserting your boundaries in a situation where you’ve felt passive. It’s about claiming your personal power. You may feel a surge of ambition or clarity. Use it to steer your day with purpose.
Your Tarot Mantra for Today: "I am in control of my direction. My willpower guides my path to victory." If you feel scattered, pause, take a deep breath, and visualize yourself as the Charioteer—focused, armored, and ready to conquer the road ahead. Today’s progress is earned through your concerted effort and unwavering intent.
