SYMBOLISM<\/p>\n

The Charioteer carries a wand which he does not raise above hi head to heaven. Power, creativity, and initiative are important here as he moves on.<\/p>\n

His hands do not hold the reins.\u00a0 His character controls life’s forces and his mental energy directs his passions.<\/p>\n

The Charioteer’s belt is decorated with symbols of the planets.<\/p>\n

His skirt has magical symbols.<\/p>\n

The shape of the Chariot represents the material world.<\/p>\n

The Chariot wheels are in the water while the Chariot itself sits on the water.\u00a0 The Charioteer gets his energy from the water (the unconscious) and from the land.<\/p>\n

The black and white sphinxes are guardians of mystical secrets.\u00a0 The sphinxes stand for life’s mysteries.\u00a0 The black sphinx represents the night, femininity and the unconscious mind.\u00a0 The white sphinx stands for masculinity, conscious thought, and the sun.<\/p>\n

The Armor show us The Charioteer is ready, and prepared for the next event.<\/p>\n

The Crown symbolize authority and is worn on the head with a laurel wreath symbolizes victory.<\/p>\n

The Canopy of Stars represents liberty and independence.<\/p>\n

The Winged Sun accompanies the Charioteer on life’s journey.<\/p>\n

GETTING TO KNOW THE CHARIOT<\/p>\n

The Chariot shows up for graduation, new apartments, new jobs, driver’s licenses.<\/p>\n

Energy triumphs over obstacles.\u00a0 You have the skills to succeed.\u00a0 This works especially for things like taking a test or running a race, but it’s also about your understanding your motivations.<\/p>\n

It’s also about control and willpower.<\/p>\n

But, there’s another thing:\u00a0 This all goes better with intention.<\/p>\n

With the Chariot, you move in a new direction.\u00a0 That’s where the intention comes in, know where you are going.\u00a0 This means you set your goal and make your plans.\u00a0 It’s all about knowing where you’re planning to go and how you’re going to get there.<\/p>\n

STORY<\/p>\n

The Chariot showed up years ago when I studied Spanish.\u00a0 Before thi time, I used what Spanish I knew to buy groceries, chat with neighbors, protect my family’s health at the local medical clinic, and keep myself on the positive side of the law with the Federales while living in Venezuela and Mexico…<\/p>\n

But, time passed and I was in a totally new place:\u00a0 a new country, a new spouse, a new job, and a completely different lifestyle.<\/p>\n

I used Spanish in my new job but things weren’t what they could be.\u00a0 In my heart, I knew I was stuck and stagnant.\u00a0 I wasn’t learning any new words.<\/p>\n

The situation required a goal-oriented focus and courage without heavy-handed tactics.\u00a0 I knew I must, finally, learn the language – not just play like it.<\/p>\n

When I enrolled in a Spanish class at a local college, the willpower of the Chariot carried me through.\u00a0 I used the strength of the Chariot for the confidence and belief in myself to learn Spanish.<\/p>\n

I knew\u00a0 this was going to be a time of overwork but the outcome would make the effort worthwhile.\u00a0 There were conflicting demands on my time and resources but i felt things would work out well in the end because I was in the driver’s seat.<\/p>\n

I also knew that grit and determination were the things most needed to see this project through.<\/p>\n

The Chariot helped me make this major life decision.\u00a0 It was time to on my life’s journey.\u00a0 The Chariot was an important pathway for me.<\/p>\n

Ambition and determination helped me overcome the obstacles I found along the way and the Chariot helped me cope, develop skills and use my abilities to succeed.<\/p>\n

Ambition and determination helped me overcome th obstacles I found along the way and the Chariot helped me cope, develop skills, and use my abilities to succeed.<\/p>\n

I finished the classes with A’s.\u00a0 Even all these years later, I can still speak to people in their language.\u00a0 The strength of the Chariot gave me the energy to not only set goals but carry them through to success.<\/p>\n

There are also situations where\u00a0 The Chariot can help you control competing forces and inner conflicts.\u00a0 A politician or business employee sometimes needs to settle into the situation and take the middle road and go with the flow.\u00a0 When this happens, follow the road where it takes you to success.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen this work well on the local government level.\u00a0 Several years ago, in my community, a few buildings needed modernizing and upgrading.\u00a0 One building, the Highway Department Garage was a teardown and rebuilt project.\u00a0 Our Town Supervisor certainly had the building contractor skills.\u00a0 He knew how to manage the budget.\u00a0 One noisy faction of the community was critical.\u00a0 He knew how to call in The Chariot<\/p>\n

Before it was over, Woodstock had new and improved buildings.\u00a0 They included a Highway Garage, Town Hall, Community Center, and the Comeau Property with the Town Clark’s Office and Supervisor’s Cottage.<\/p>\n

The goals you achieve are important.\u00a0 But, don’t stop here.\u00a0 Other accomplishments are waiting for you in the future.<\/p>\n

Then it’s time to ask “What’s next?”<\/p>\n

DO THIS<\/p>\n

Are you planning a project?\u00a0 Set your goal.\u00a0 Chart your map.\u00a0 Make a list.<\/p>\n

MEDITATION<\/p>\n

Find a safe and private location where you can get comfortable.\u00a0 Settle in a comfortable chair or on a flat surface.<\/p>\n

Turn your attention to your breath.\u00a0 Close your eyes and focus on your inbreaths and outbreaths.\u00a0 As you inhale and exhale become more and more relaxed.\u00a0 Let your breath settle in to a calming and cleansing pattern.<\/p>\n

You open your eyes now and see that the sun shines brightly and is high in the sky.\u00a0 The sun illuminates the sky in a positive yellow.\u00a0 This is your reliable consciousness focusing on your goal.<\/p>\n

A star-covered canopy shelters you from the heat of the sky above.<\/p>\n

You look around and see a path that you feel was created just for you.\u00a0 You know, in some way, that this path is for you to reach your goal.\u00a0 Your job is to stay on this path.<\/p>\n

You see a Chariot waiting for you right underneath the canopy.\u00a0 Two sphinxes are stationed at the front of The Chariot.\u00a0 You know they represent the mysteries you experience as you travel to your goals.<\/p>\n

The Chariot is your space and time on this project and in your life.\u00a0 This vehicle has a connection to your karma.\u00a0 As you realize this, you do not fear it.\u00a0 Instead, you feel empowered to work with it to your benefit.<\/p>\n

You see the winged sun adorning the front of The Chariot.\u00a0 You feel that this sun will join you on your new project.<\/p>\n

You know that this Chariot and these symbols are part of your journey as you stay on your path.\u00a0 They further your progress to your goal.<\/p>\n

You realize now that the path is its own journey as you steer your course toward your success.<\/p>\n

The landscape around The Chariot is positive and fruitful.\u00a0 The lawn\u00a0 is a lush green grass.\u00a0 Your path leads you along the banks of a beautiful stream.<\/p>\n

Farther down the path, across the stream and through the park, is a city with gorgeous buildings capped with red roofs.<\/p>\n

The path leads you to success!<\/p>\n

You sit with this scene for a few moments while you enjoy and absort your future which is waiting for you.\u00a0 Get comfortable with your success and how it feels.<\/p>\n

You know it is time to return to your day.\u00a0 You continue to focus on your breath while you slowly and carefully move your hands and arms, feet and legs.<\/p>\n

You move consciously into the now of the day.<\/p>\n
