Cancer, the Cardinal sign of summer, is ruled by The Chariot tarot card. Cancer (June 22 – July 22) is typically associated with beginnings and forward movement and this is echoed by the traditional image of the Chariot card. The motionless Charioteer is observing the Sphinxes in front of him, whilst he contemplates his next move. This focused and steadfast approach is favoured by Cancerians who like to use their energy to plot the right course of action.
Traditional Interpretations.
The Chariot card traditionally depicts a Charioteer seated under a canopy of six-pointed stars that represent celestial influences at work. The motifs on his tunic are alchemical symbols, and along with the laurel and star crown, they represent the spiritual transformation of man. The Charioteer holds no reins, but does hold a Magician’s wand. This means that he controls through strength of will, and is on a quest to seek answers to spiritual matters. The black and white Sphinxes are signs of the union of positive and negative.
