The Chariot – Mermaid Tarot

I. Image description on The Chariot Mermaid Tarot

There are many stories and fairy tales from different cultures about horses that live in the water. It could be a sea monster, a seahorse, or as the Greeks called it a walrus, all of which refer to a very speedy and powerful creature. For mermaids, horses that live under the water are real and an important part of their daily lives. They transport goods, construction materials and carry mermaids from one place to another.

These horses are trained to rescue those lost at sea and to deliver messages to those living in the sea as well as those onshore. Only those who have a special connection with their ancestors can hear the sound of walruses, and only those with a free and liberal character like horses from the blood can train them. For others, water horses are strong, stubborn, and unpredictable.

Regarding co-workers, it seems that there are many things that are beyond your control. And you don’t have to worry about such trifles.

IV. The Chariot Mermaid Tarot reversed meanings

There are times when a part of our lives feels like we are being controlled by an aggressive beast that does not really seem to have any concept of where it is going and why it needs to take us there. Instead, we find ourselves thrown onto the back of the beast and completely dependent on its powerful moves. We feel the upheavals in our lives are out of control; there seems to be no logic here. The carriage has started to run. However, the truth is that we would not be able to ride the beast in the first place if we did not have an attraction to it. Like the water horses of legend, you have a connection to these upheavals and chaos. If you trust your ability to control your life, you will be able to control it.

In this step, you need to be able to feel as if you have different directions because you are currently feeling pulled and pushed into the vast world of fate.

The Chariot Mermaid Tarot in reverse can also mean that you are breaking down due to pressure and loss of self-control. Your impulses are being swirled in the wrong direction, in the “indiscriminate” direction aimed at other people, at fate, and at external circumstances.

Redefine your impulsiveness so that it manifests itself in the form of determination and willpower, stop feebly clinging to ideas, habits, or people that are not worth your time and attention, and move forward.

By now you are probably feeling it. You are completely obedient to the requests of others and are forced to face their problems instead of your own. You lose control of yourself as if life is just that. As a result, you lose some sense of your self-confidence and personal strength, and you may feel as though you have lost your way. You seek more control over your life and you are determined not to let others dominate you as much as they have done in the past. You want your mind to be your own, and you want to direct your life in the direction you desire, not someone else’s.

The Chariot Mermaid Tarot in reverse can also show that you need to be more comfortable with situations that are not always under your control.

The card is a signal that you should not try to push everything to your preference, especially a new relationship. The reward will only come to those who know the value of waiting. So don’t be afraid of the wait!

In terms of health, you are very determined in improving your physical condition. But do not exercise too hard and then encounter side effects.
