The Chariot from the Steampunk Tarot

Your Tarot Mentor for January 2026:
The Chariot

Theme: Acceleration

Action/Advice: Go

How it may show up in general:
Forward motion, metaphorical green lights, committing to a project that’s already begun, smooth sailing

In relationships: Speed dating, a quick acceleration to the next phase of a relationship, bolting or being ghosted, taking a trip together to renew a spark

In work/career: A project is green-lit, you get a promotion, traveling for business or advancement

There are some tarot cards that recommend stillness and contemplation. There are some cards that suggest plotting and planning, market research. The Chariot, on the other hand, says: Come on, come ON! Let’s go! This card calls us to take action, put ourselves out there, walk our talk. It’s time to go after what we want and make it happen. This is progress. It is forward motion. (Yay! Action!) It might be a long journey, and the best route might not be totally clear or we might not be sure on where the finish line is. No matter. This card says it’s time to motor – strap on your seat belt and merge into the fast lane!
