To understand Goddess Tarot, start here: [What is Vidawheel Goddess Tarot?]
The girl stands at the edge of the forest. The wind rises from afar, carrying a premonition of something about to happen. She tries to distinguish the direction in her heart. Suddenly, the air is sliced by a sharp silver light. Artemis Goddess appears from the wind. Her steps are light and swift, as if the earth makes way for her. Her gaze is focused like the unmoving North Star.
Before the girl can speak, Artemis places a silver bow in her palm. It is cold and pure—a line of will waiting to be drawn. Then, she places an arrow in the other hand. It is not heavy, but sharp enough to point to the truth.
The Goddess whispers the first oracle of The Chariot: "Your power lies not in speed, but in where you choose to aim. You decide the direction. You ignite the movement."
With the bow and arrow, the girl’s innate focus, determination, action, and willpower land in her palm. A pulse lights up inside her: "I can move this energy forward." It is the first time her will has found a track.
Artemis Goddess straightens up. In her eyes, the girl sees a path that was never truly acknowledged—a direction of her own, now awakening.
II. Deep Dive into Tarot Card Meanings: The Chariot Meaning
2.1 Rider-Waite Perspective: Will Driving Action
In the Rider-Waite system, The Chariot symbolizes Will entering Action. This is Directed Will.
The charioteer sits in the center without reins, yet he drives two sphinxes of opposing colors with pure consciousness. This represents the ability to integrate conflicting forces. The city below shows he is leaving the old world for a new path.
The Chariot Meaning is not reckless speed. It is the alignment of Goal, Will, and Action. It symbolizes the ability to choose a direction and push destiny forward. The moment the chariot moves, the soul declares: "I am going there."
2.2 Tarot de Marseille Perspective: Mastery of Energy
In the Tarot de Marseille, The Chariot (Le Chariot) is the first card depicting full movement. The charioteer looks young, meaning: Action has started, but maturity is on the way.
The chariot is pulled by two forces (reason and instinct) without reins. This implies action is not about control, but about Integration and Focus. This system emphasizes: The Chariot is a Threshold Archetype—from stagnation to flow, from preparation to push.
It reminds women: You don't start when you are perfectly ready. You mature as you move.
2.3 Goddess Tarot Perspective: Sovereignty of Action
In the VidaWheel Goddess Tarot system, The Chariot is rewritten as the gate of action for Artemis Goddess. She is not oppressive speed; she is clarity of direction and purity of goal.
She hands the bow and arrow to the girl not for attack, but to let her grasp the power of "Choosing Direction." Artemissymbolizes detaching from expected routes and moving with your own intuition.

III. Artemis Goddess Myth & 21st Century Female Power
In myths, Artemis is the lonely hunter. But in Goddess Tarot, she has a deeper meaning for women.
For VW, Artemis Goddess represents Action Wisdom—a sense of direction that comes from deep within, not from impulse or compliance. Her speed is focus; her decision is loyalty to her true desire.
Artemis reminds women: Your drive and direction are not "too aggressive" or "unsafe." They are your power to clear a path. Society tells women to "wait," "be steady," or "let others decide." This makes moving forward feel shameful or scary.
The Chariot's power is Sovereignty of Direction. It brings a wisdom that can hear its own path in the noise. It can integrate contradictions and launch energy.
The Chariot is not about being fast. It is about believing: You have the right to decide where to go.
