Got the Chariot for “how someone sees you” in a relationship reading and now I’m confused. Is he seeing me as someone he needs to charge toward or race away from? The fact that Judgment and Tower came after makes me think major changes are brewing.
Maybe he sees me as the catalyst for finally taking control and steering his life in a new direction? Or am I just the obstacle he’s trying to overcome? With those heavy major arcana following, feels like whatever he decides is going to shake things up big time.
How do you all read the Chariot when it shows up for how someone sees you? Does context change whether they’re running to or from?

When I pulled Chariot for ‘how they see me’ last month, I realized that sometimes people see us as the helping hands reaching across when they’re trying to get over their own barriers.
Your Tower and Judgment combo makes me think he sees you as someone who changes things for him. Like that force that helps him finally cross whatever river he’s been stuck on. The Chariot isn’t just about doing things alone… sometimes it’s about recognizing who helps us grab the reins when we’re struggling.
These three cards together are interesting. I’ve been studying the Chariot lately and it can mean movement in either direction, coming or going. That’s why positional spreads like past/present/future help narrow things down. The Chariot with the Tower is giving me ‘he’s looking out for number one’ vibes. It’s about his personal victory and what works for him.
I used to think the Chariot was positive for relationships, but it’s actually pretty neutral. It’s more about determination and control than romance. The Tower always makes my heart skip. It points to something unexpected happening, but probably not what you’re hoping for. If you’re dreaming of a grand romantic gesture or him dropping everything for you, the Tower is saying that’s not how this plays out. Judgement as the third card shows this is decision time for him. Looking at all three cards together, he’s at a crossroads. He’s weighing his options, does he move toward you or in a completely different direction?
The cards show he’s torn about which path to take.
I’m a Scorpio and I’ve gotten these cards before. The Chariot in that position tends to mean they see you as someone who’s really moving forward in life, like you’ve got your shit together and you’re going places.
During my Saturn return when everything at work was insane, I noticed partners would see me as someone they couldn’t slow down. Some wanted to keep up, others just stepped aside. Same with the 10 of Swords, it’s more about them seeing you handle hard times than thinking you’re overdramatic.
The Chariot often indicates gradual changes rather than sudden shifts. You’re probably looking at several weeks minimum, possibly a couple months. Just a heads up, this card doesn’t really suggest fast movement. The changes it points to tend to unfold at their own pace, which can feel frustratingly slow when you’re waiting for something specific.
The Chariot card here is interesting. Maybe he’s picking up on something in you that you’re not seeing yet? Like when you have that leadership energy but you’re kind of giving it away to other people instead of using it yourself. Shadow work can show you that sometimes.
The Chariot as how someone sees you usually points to them viewing you as someone really determined and focused. With that solar plexus energy, they might see you as their way out of whatever situation they’re in. Kind of makes sense why you’d get Judgment and Tower after that.
Judgment brings that crown chakra awakening energy, and Tower shakes everything up at the root level. They’re looking at you like you’re the person who can lead them through some major life changes.
Been staring at my RWS deck and like 47 other versions because I have a tarot hoarding problem. The Chariot always gets me, those sphinxes are just sitting there with their arms crossed like ‘nope, we’re not going anywhere buddy.’ He’s holding those reins like he means business and wants to take charge of his life again, but he’s stuck in park right now.
My deck collection is telling me he’s probably having a serious moment of self-reflection here. The flirty fun times were all good until things started feeling too real, you know? If he keeps going down this road with you, he’s looking at a Tower situation ahead.
Nobody wants their carefully constructed emotional walls to come crashing down. So yeah, he hit the brakes hard.
With Mercury in retrograde, the Chariot might indicate that they find you challenging when it comes to communication. They might be re-evaluating how they express themselves. Judgment and Tower suggest changes could be on the horizon.
hmm chariot reversed is interesting. i’ve noticed even upright it sometimes shows up when someone sees you as everything they’re not doing with their life. you represent their unfulfilled goals or the path they’re too scared to take.
Just a heads up, if the Chariot is about moving forward fast, you’ll want to prepare emotionally for what’s coming. Changes like what Judgment and Tower suggest can be really intense. It’s like everything gets turned upside down at once. Make sure you both have some emotional support in place before things start shifting.
The Chariot could mean they view you as someone who keeps them balanced when things get hectic. Maybe they rely on you for perspective or just to stay grounded.
Hi all, been experimenting with meditating on the Chariot card lately. For newer readers, try a short 5-minute visualization where you picture yourself as the charioteer. Just notice what comes up about taking action in your life. If you’ve been reading for a while, maybe extend it to 15 minutes.
Hold the card and tune into the tension between those two sphinxes. There’s this whole thing about balance and control that can relate to partnerships. Afterwards I like to place the card on my heart and breathe into whatever came up. Different insights emerge depending on where you’re at in life, which makes sense when you think about it.
With the ‘Zoomy Chariot’ and ‘Boomer Tower’ around, maybe they’re seeing you as a new and exciting change. You might be the fresh energy they’re looking for, helping them handle some big personal changes.
It’s like you’re giving them a little push to face things head-on, which is pretty cool. Maybe it’s not easy for them, but having you there might make it a bit better.
I’ve seen the Chariot come up in ‘how they see you’ readings a lot. It really depends on what clicks for you since we all read cards differently. When someone has strong feelings (whether they’re moving toward you or pulling away), your energies are usually pretty connected.
That might be why you’re sensing both possibilities. The major arcana showing up after means he sees you as someone important, someone who brings change and movement to his life. Go with whatever interpretation feels right based on the energy between you two.
Your gut instinct with relationship readings is usually right.
I once pulled cards where the figures were facing each other and spent ages trying to figure out if my crush was running toward me or away. The direction they face does matter apparently.
With your Chariot, Judgment, and Tower combo, sounds like he sees you as someone who could shake things up for him. I always think I’m someone’s big Tower moment when I’m probably just their Two of Cups at best. All those major arcana cards showing up?
He definitely sees you as important. Though whether that freaks him out or not is another story.
The cards are showing some stuff about your situation.
If he moves closer to you, his girlfriend will probably confront him about it, the kind of talk where someone has to make a choice. And if he ignores what she says? The Tower card is there, which means things could get messy. Like when you knock over a house of cards, you know?
The Chariot keeps appearing though, so there’s movement happening. It could go either way at this point. The cards are being pretty clear about all the drama going on.
Ugh, the Chariot in relationship readings drives me absolutely bonkers because it’s like trying to decode whether someone’s planning a victory parade WITH you or AWAY from you (there’s all this forward momentum but zero clarity on the destination! I swear this card shows up just to mess with us when we’re already overthinking every text message. The combination with Judgment and Tower though. that’s giving me serious ‘breakthrough moment’ vibes rather than escape route energy.
