Love And Relationships

The reversed Chariot Tarot card is telling you to slow down! If things are not progressing as fast as you want in your relationship, you need to have some patience.

Remember that things will progress in their own time and that forcing things never ends well.

It can cause unnecessary pressure on your relationship, which can be disastrous! 

Alternatively, you might feel pressured to move your relationship forward and you aren’t ready. Do not allow yourself to be coerced here. Instead, take some time to consider what you want from your relationship. Make this clear to your partner and be sure to set boundaries. 

If you are single, the reversed Chariot also suggests not rushing things. Instead, take time to enjoy the exciting parts of a new relationship. Use the time to get to know your partner without any added pressure. It isn’t easy, but letting things evolve at their own pace is a good approach. 

Money And Career

Career-wise, the reversed Chariot suggests you are motivated, but trying to do too much too soon! It is better to work towards your goals in small steps than trying to rush to reach the final point.

Moving too quickly can lead to failure, which nobody wants! 

Make sure you take a step back to evaluate any obstacles in your way. Create a plan for a gentle approach to achieving your goals that is more manageable.
