Your Chosen Card – The Chariot Reversed Thoth Deck
When reversed, the Chariot warns that you may be allowing yourself to wander aimlessly rather than assuming control of the direction of your life. You may be feeling vulnerable and at the mercy of outside forces. Your many ambitions and your desire for various pleasures may be pulling you away from your preferred path. Pay attention to establishing clear boundaries and knowing your own limits. Dont let go of the reins of your personal chariot. Now is a time to focus on what you value most and to organize your life course so that you can arrive at your most cherished destination. If the Chariot refers to a vehicle or a literal journey, your trip may be delayed or run into difficulties.
