7 - VII The Chariot

The Principle of Change / Movement / Combination of Stillness / Activity

Chariot people need variety and are successful in executing multiple tasks at the same time. If this is your life-time spiritual card, change and variety are necessary components in your life. For you, it is not a question of what it is that you want to do, but how many things you can do simultaneously. You can stay in one situation, personally or professionally, if it provides the variety and challenge that you need and want. You are constantly balancing your needs for quietude and activity, and implementing changes in your life that are both nurturing and fortunate. There are five times out of the year where it is essential that you experience movement, change, and activity in your life which are represented by Cancer, the crab and the four animals in front of the chariot. Those months of the year are 1. Aquarius (January 21 - February 21), which is the most restless time of year for you; therefore it is a good month to initiate new projects or do something entirely different. This is represented by the human head and human feet in front of the chariot. 2. Taurus (April 21 - May 21) is your most active and productive month. It is a time to implement and produce in tangible ways that which is important to you. 3. Cancer, the Grab (June 21 - July 21) is an important time to actively nurture, comfort, and support yourself. It is an essential time to support your needs for quietude, nurturement, and reconnection with family and extended family. 4. Leo, the lion (July 21 - August 21) is the time to be open to new creative opportunities, to explore avenues of your creativity that have been dormant, and to dynamically express your creativity without reservation. 5. Scorpio (October 21 - November 21) is the best time of year to make emotional decisions or to act upon what has heart and meaning for you. The Scorpio month allows you to make emotional decisions that are important to you which ignite and motivate the need for new experiences in Aquarius, find you busy and productive in Taurus, actively nurtured in the month of Cancer, and open to new opportunities and creative expression in the month of Leo. With the Chariot as your life-time spiritual symbol, you enjoy family and home for the stability that it provides; you love to travel, and do multiple things at the same time. You are a natural generator, motivator, and stimulator. You have an equal love for quietude and activity. If things become too boring in relationships or in work, you will generate change to break the monotony. For you, movement and quietude in combination are essential. Too much quietude is intolerable and dull. Activity that produces unseen results is anxiety-producing. Change is important as long as it produces some kind of tangible result.
