It will be someone who will help and teach you to move forward productively and set goals that make sense. In return, this person will ask you to be dynamic and very flexible.
  • In the sentimental realm:

She is influential and has all the necessary capacities to implement her projects. However, she is not really focused on the sentimental life. For her, the most important thing is work. To seduce her, you will have to support her in her ambition and especially not to transform yourself into a weight or a burden.

Special features of the Chariot

It is framed by four (symbolism of numbers) red and blue columns (symbolism of colours) which support the canopy and which undoubtedly evoke the four cardinal points, the four seasons, the four elements...etc.

The bottom scene seems incoherent. The Wagon cannot move forward because it is pulled by two horses going in opposite directions and the wheels seem to be going in the same direction as the horses. It is flesh-coloured and certainly symbolizes man in his actions and spirit.

The chariot is driven by two horses (symbol of power, the force of desire). The two horses seem to oppose each other by the directions they take, one on the right, the other on the left making any movement difficult. The blue horse looks at the red horse, thought precedes action or the mind turns to action.

The past is an important dimension in decision making and intuition and an inward look is indispensable in choosing the future.
