You may feel like sticking close to home today to get on with what you need to do there. The Chariot is a card of “safety”, whether this be your own need to feel safe and secure or simply the need to regroup your thoughts in order to find an answer.

Love life: This is a great day to spend some time at home relaxing with a special someone. You may also feel the warmth of your family’s good feelings towards you and all you do for them.

Work life: There is structure to your life today when it comes to work. If you are faced with a problem that seems too big for you, break it down to smaller tasks and go from there.

The loss suffered is of something dear to the heart, whether a relationship, a loved possession or a cherished dream.  It may be a loss voluntarily taken, but that doesn’t make it any less painful. Whatever loss or disappointment you’ve experienced lately deserves to be felt.  When you take the time to really feel your feelings, you can process them, learn from them, and then move forward with greater self-awareness and wisdom.  The lesson to be learned here is that with loss also comes change, and with change, opportunity.  We can avoid loss if we avoid pursuing our heart’s desire, but if we have the courage to risk loss we may also gain true fulfillment.

You don’t have to do everything yourself today.  You are not alone; there are people that care about you.  You are moving away, or planning to move away, from psychological pain or confusion.  Perhaps you are moving away from something destructive, such as ending an abusive relationship or moving away from friends who enable abusive behavior.  You may be going away on a trip (especially over water) to gain a new perspective on a difficult situation.  Reach out and ask for help.  It’s amazing how comforting a little support can feel.  You are gaining psychological distance from trouble by exploring your subconscious or gaining distance from the situation to get a wider perspective.  This is a time for transition and change is often difficult.  Once you make it to the other side, however, you will feel great relief thinking of what you have left behind.

You’re looking good today because you’ve worked hard and can now enjoy the fruits of your labor.  You’ve been all about self-discipline and you’ve succeeded in taming your impulses … like you’ve tamed that wild bird on your arm … meaning, you’ve accomplished much in taming your animal impulses.  Now, you’re craving a bit of independence.  Today, reward yourself for all the good, hard work you’ve done lately.  Be proud of what you’ve accomplished and treat yourself well!  Pamper yourself.  Take yourself out on a date!   By making the effort to celebrate now, you’ll be reinforcing your good work and replenishing your energy for even more success in the future.

Anything is possible today!  Open your mind.  Say, “Yes!”  Don’t make all the decisions about your path, or make assumptions about how it’ll be before you embark.  Stay open to surprises and unexpected opportunities.  Anything could happen if you leave room for possibilities.   You’re only limited by your own doubts and fears.  So, today, shake away your worries and take a chance. Trust in the Universe to keep you safe, then take the leap into the unknown … It’s time for a new adventure!
