VII - The Chariot...
The Crab
Description of the Illustration:It is dusk, and a Mother proudly drives her mini-van that is full of nine busy children as she pulls intot he driveway in front of her home, where her husband stands with the door open to welcome his family. Two majestic sphinx statues, one white and the other black, recline on either side of the house's entrance; a gravestone graces the front lawn. One child has her hand out the window, clutching a large stuffed animal in the shape of a crab. The full moon, unusually large and predominant, rises above the homey scene, unique in that instead of the standard man or the rabbit in the moon, we see a craggy crab etched upon its surface. The upper left sphere is green (Netzach) while the lower right sphere is purple (Yesod).
Astrological Association: Cancer Element: Water, Feminine, Receptive, Cardinal sign
Control
The trumpeting Chariot rides through the Fool’s life, heralding him to leave (and often confront) his parents and family while establishing his own chosen home environment. The Chariot calls the Fool to establish self-will and control, building his own base.
He takes charge, faces conflict, and makes life-changing decisions. If this challenge is successfully surmounted, the Fool will now hold the reigns to his own life.
The Chariot offers to initiate the Fool into the mysteries of Hadit, the center of Life that is everywhere, the flame that burns in every heart and is the core of every star.
