Further, from The Tarot Handbook by Angeles Arrien, “The Chariot depicts a figure in contemplation or quietude sitting within a chariot readied for activity. The Chariot illustrates that change is pervasive in that it touches every individual multi-dimensionally, which is pictured by the four pillars, the four wheels, and the four animals - all of these symbols represent the four elements or the elemental aspects of who we are mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. The charioteer holds the Wheel of Fortune in his or her hands reminding us that through choice we have the ability to select fortunate, positive, and abundant changes for ourselves. In times of contemplating the changes that we want to make, it is important for us to assess which changes will assist our growth and evolution and which ones will be nurturing, comforting, and supporting to us at this point in time.

Change is for the purpose of reminding us of who we really are. The yellow brick road is the royal road of spiritual growth and evolution. Our choices during times of change are ultimately correct and motivate a deeper commitment to the original purpose of personal and transpersonal existence.”
