How to read it

Begin with the charioteer at the bottom: that is you, your will and the state in which you take the work on. Above are the two pulling forces: one drives forward, the other pulls back, and both are yours. The chariot moves only when both are harnessed, not when one is denied. The reins card shows what you actually steer; sometimes it turns out you are holding the wrong ones. The wheels at the sides are what already moves on its own and can be leaned on. The upper cards are the goal and the outcome; if they diverge, you are travelling fast in the wrong direction.

Positions

    You in this undertaking: how much will you have and what state you are in.

  2. The goal

    Where you are driving and how clearly you picture the final point yourself.

  3. The force pulling forward

    What drives you forward: excitement, need, pride or a true calling.

  4. The force pulling back

    What brakes you from inside: tiredness, fear, pity or an old obligation.

  5. The reins

    What you actually steer and what has long since left your control.

  6. The wheel that turns

    What in your work already moves by itself and needs no constant effort.

  7. The road

  8. Where you arrive

    How this road ends and whether the result matches the stated goal.
