A crowned warrior rides a chariot pulled by two sphinxes — one black, one white — representing opposing forces brought under control. A canopy of stars covers the chariot, and the city walls stand behind him as he rides forth in triumph.
▲ Upright Meaning
The Chariot charges forward with unwavering determination and focused willpower. Victory is assured when you harness opposing forces, maintain discipline, and refuse to be derailed from your course.
