The confident crow embarked on a long journey in search
of success. In time the bird's body began to feel heavy, and
its wings grew weak, yet it persisted and called upon all the
strength it muster to push through what felt like a constant
headwind. Despite the progress, the crow knew if it settled
for immediate gratification, it was settling for less. When
the crow committed to finishing its expedition, it
encountered a fierce energy storm. It recognized the storm
for what it was —an opportunity to soar ahead quicker and
without a struggle. The bird conjured up the last bit of its
energy. Reaching out and up the crow and felt the wind
and rose above the clouds, away from the rain. From this
position, the bird realized that the clear sky offered many
options and many paths to the same destination. It was free
and flew swiftly without obstacles —except for the one
within its mind —self-doubt.

General Message

The Chariot brings the message of being in charge, taking
command of the situation (forcefully if necessary) and not
giving in to fear or self-doubt. When the Chariot appears,
be on guard because events and circumstances may
progress quicker than anticipated, and it can be easy to
lose control. A ride on the Chariot will help you reach your
destination quickly; however, you will need discipline and
the strength to focus your energy with intention and
confidence.
