Video Transcription:

"The Chariot, Key VII, symbolizes triumph through willpower and determination. Depicted as a warrior guided by two sphinxes—balancing opposing forces—it represents victory through discipline and mastery over conflict. The charioteer’s armor bears alchemical symbols, including Metatron’s Cube, linking this card to the One Self and transformation from past experiences.

Astrologically tied to Cancer, ruled by the Moon, it reflects emotional depth and protection. The Hebrew letter Cheth (ח), meaning “fence,” evokes boundaries and the cultivation of the inner world. The chariot represents not just physical motion but a spiritual journey.

Ultimately, The Chariot teaches that true victory comes from aligning will with purpose, maintaining balance, and using past disappointments and losses as mission fuel, applying learned lessons to overcome future challenges."
