When The Chariot is dealt with The Sun, the hard driving is nearly done and the light has come up on it. The chariot and the sun tarot pairing puts the driver standing in his chariot under a canopy of stars, holding two creatures that would rather go different ways, next to a child riding a white horse in open daylight with sunflowers along the wall behind. Both figures are moving. Only one of them is still gripping anything.
That difference is the reading. Seven is where the easy part ended and the effort began, and nineteen is where things are genuinely straightforward for once, so this pair describes a stretch of work arriving somewhere warm. The two creatures at the front of the chariot have stopped fighting each other, the horse in the second card has no reins at all, and what you have been holding together by concentration is starting to hold on its own.
In love
In love the chariot and the sun tarot combination favors taking part and being plain about it. The Chariot says go where people are, follow up, treat this as something you participate in rather than wait for, and The Sun says the version of you that works here is the unguarded one, the person who says what they mean without arranging it first.
If you are with someone, this pair points at a warm and uncomplicated stretch that you are allowed to enjoy without hunting for the catch. If you are single, it leans toward saying the straightforward thing early. Nobody can tell you how another person will answer, and you can notice how much easier your own week gets when you stop managing every conversation from a safe distance.
At work and with money
At work this is one of the better pairs for visibility. You have been quietly good at something for a long time, holding a project together with discipline while nobody watched, and The Sun now says let it be seen. Put your name on it, say in the meeting that you did it, send the work to the person who can actually act on it.
The Chariot adds the part people forget: this is not the moment to ease off. Hold the line for a few more weeks, keep the plan when the progress feels slow, and finish the thing rather than starting three more. On money the chariot and the sun tarot pairing predicts no amounts and does support asking clearly, pitching, and making the plan while you can see the road in front of you.
When one of them is reversed
With The Chariot reversed, the effort has stopped going anywhere useful. You are either pulled evenly in two directions or pushing at a door that closed some time ago, and more force will not open it. Choose the single direction you actually want and let the other rest for now, and notice that the light in the other card has not gone anywhere.
With The Sun reversed, nothing is dark, it is dimmed. The good things are happening and you cannot quite feel them, or you are performing being fine while driving very hard indeed. The honest question is what stands between you and the warmth, and the answer is often just how long you have been gripping the reins without a day off.
What to do with this pair
This week, put your name on the work you have been quiet about, in one plain sentence, to one person who can do something with it. Then keep going for the few weeks that are left, at the same steady pace, without adding anything new to the pile. You have driven this a long way in poor light, and it is fair to notice that the light has changed.
Questions people ask
What do The Chariot and The Sun mean together in love?
They favor turning up as yourself and taking part rather than waiting. Say the plain thing, go where people are, let a connection be straightforward instead of looking for the catch. This pair predicts nobody else’s choices, and it does say the unguarded version of you works here.
What changes when one of these two is reversed?
The Chariot reversed means the effort has stopped going anywhere useful, so pick one direction and drop the other for now. The Sun reversed is rarely dark, more often dimmed: good things are happening and you cannot feel them, or you are performing being fine.
What should I do when these two come up together?
Keep going and let it be seen. The hard part is mostly done, and the remaining work is holding the line for a few more weeks while stopping the habit of playing it down. Say plainly what you did, once, to someone who can act on it.
