The Chariot tarot card and The 5 Of Swords tarot card together in your love life symbolize a journey ahead that you must take and that it could bring change. This journey may involve leaving behind a relationship or situation built on a foundation of bullying, theft, violence, and an abusive dynamic. The power has been taken away from the other, either consciously or unconsciously, and you must now be the one to take charge of the vehicle and make the journey to freedom and safety.

You may find it necessary to take swift and decisive action to move away from the toxicity of the dynamic, and the Chariot card reminds you that you have the strength and determination to do this. This card is a reminder that you have control over the vehicle and can therefore direct the journey to serve yourself and your well-being.

The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.

Common 2-card spreads

Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread

The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:

  • The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
  • The 2 card “Yes or No”

“The Fool’s Journey”

Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over

Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)

Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.

The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation

The 2 card “Yes or No”

Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.

Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.

The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.

Yes or No meaning

Things are a bit tricky for this combination, as The Chariot and 5 Of Swords mean different things. The cards are unsure about your question, or the answer to the question has not yet been decided.

The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.

What does The Chariot mean?

The Chariot Tarot card often symbolizes forward movement, progress, and a willingness to challenge the status quo. When this card appears in a Tarot reading, it often stands for taking charge of your life and taking control of your destiny. When it comes to health, this card encourages us to take control of our own wellbeing. This might mean taking on a new exercise routine, a new diet, or a healthier lifestyle in general. It could also stand for seeking out alternative treatments or researching new forms of medicine. Whatever actions you take, the card encourages us to be proactive when it comes to our own well-being.

When The Chariot Tarot card appears in a Tarot reading relating to finances, it stands for taking steps to increase one’s financial security. This could mean plotting out a savings plan, taking on a second job, or investing in the stock market. The card encourages us to be mindful of our finances and to be proactive when it comes to taking charge of them.

In terms of relationships, The Chariot Tarot card symbolizes the courage to take risks and make changes. This might mean taking a chance on a new relationship, or reviving an old one. It could also stand for having the courage to make a difficult decision when it comes to an existing relationship. The card encourages us to take risks, take action, and be willing to make changes for the betterment of our relationships.

What does 5 Of Swords mean?

Health: The 5 Of Swords Tarot card is a very negative card when it comes to health. It is associated with bullies who inflict physical harm and even theft of medical supplies and treatments. It is also associated with abusive relationships that can lead to mental and physical distress, as well as physical violence. Those in an abusive relationship may find themselves too frightened or ashamed to get the medical care they need, resulting in long-term health issues stemming from the abuse.

Finances: The 5 Of Swords Tarot card can signify financial issues resulting from toxic relationships, whether it is a partner or a business associate. It can signify one’s money being taken by bullies or thieves, or it can signify exploitation of financial resources by an abusive partner or business partner. Furthermore, it can signify financial loss due to a toxic business relationship or a partner who is unable or unwilling to provide financial support. This can lead to financial hardship and difficulties in managing household expenses and other financial needs.

Relationships: The 5 Of Swords Tarot card is an indication of toxic and abusive relationships. It can signify physical and mental abuse, whether it is from a partner, a family member, or a colleague. It is a warning to get out of the relationship before it causes further damage to one’s mental and physical health. It can also signify theft and manipulation in relationships, as well as a lack of respect and trust. Such relationships are usually filled with anger and resentment, and can lead to feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness.

Conclusion

Understanding how the meaning of a reading changes once you start involving more than one card can be tricky. This will come with time and practice, however I hope this guide on what your cards might be telling you when you draw The Chariot and 5 Of Swords has helped you.
