If you are a spiritual person, then you will likely already know your zodiac sign, or star sign. The star signs correlate to the day and month in which you are born.
As a result, you will have certain traits and personality aspects that go with that zodiac sign.
As a Cancer, you are a water sign. This star sign is ruled by the moon, a celestial body that is all about self-care, sensitivity, comfort, and maternal instincts.
Because of this, you may love to care for others, and are very nurturing and loyal as a person. Cancers are also fiercely protective of those they care about.
You may not know that zodiac signs are very deeply connected to the Tarot. Each star sign has its own Tarot card that represents them.
So, which tarot card is meant for Cancer? Let’s find out.
What Tarot Card Represents Cancer?
A Tarot card deck is split into 22 Major Arcana cards, such as The High Priestess, The Fool, or The Moon. Then, there are 56 Minor Arcana cards that are the lesser cards such as wands, cups, swords or pentacles.
Each zodiac sign in the calendar is ruled by one Tarot card from the Major Arcana. Cancers are born between June 21st and July 22nd. If Cancer is your star sign, then the Tarot card that represents Cancer is The Chariot.
This may come as a shock to you, as the Cancer zodiac sign is very orientated around family and caring, whereas The Chariot is a card of freedom, often appearing with a great warrior.
What Is The Meaning Of The Chariot Tarot?
The Chariot Tarot card is shown with a great warrior in the forefront, no matter which deck you are using. In most cards, you will see a warrior or a knight riding in a chariot.
Most of these cards will depict the warrior in a chariot pulled by two sphinxes, with crescent moons on his shoulder, covered in armor and symbols of victory and success.
The warrior holds a wand, representative of his immense power and control in life. This is a very traditional card that represents a typical Cancer’s very strong, armor-like personality.
It can be quite difficult to break through a Cancer’s strong protective shell.
Therefore, The Chariot depicts a Cancer’s hard, fiery exterior. But once you break down that outer shell, and they let you in, you will be able to see them for who they are on the inside.
In addition, this card represents a Cancer’s drive and determination to focus on their goals in life. If they set their mind to something, they will not stop until they achieve it.
The Chariot tarot card is symbolic of someone’s action, drive, and success. It demonstrates a person’s will and determination in finding the direction they want to travel in.
However, this card shows the warrior being pulled in opposite directions. That being said, with his will and courage, the warrior knows which way he needs to go.
This card can also represent how important it is for you to remain balanced and grounded. The Chariot will try to pull you in different directions and onto different paths.
You may lose yourself along the way. But if you remain humble and focused, you can avoid this.
This tarot card carries a lot of masculine Cancer energy. This is because The Chariot warrior is deeply connected to the moon and its lunar energy. The Cancer star sign is ruled by the moon, and so this card has a deep rooted correlation to Cancers.
Why Is The Chariot The Tarot For Cancer?
The zodiac sign for Cancer is represented by a crab. Much like a crab would move side to side to get to its destination, The Chariot tarot card represents your journey not taking the straight, easy path.
Instead, you would have to move side to side, facing obstacles, difficult emotions, and arduous situations in order to reach your goal. It relates to the fact that no matter which path you take, you will get there in the end.
What Suit Is Cancer In Tarot?
Cancer is a water sign. The water signs of the zodiac are Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer. In a Tarot deck, in the Minor Arcana, a water sign is represented in the suite of Cups. In the Minor Arcana, the tarot card that represent Cancer are the Two Of Cups.
Cancers can therefore have a deep connection with the Queen Of Cups Minor Arcana tarot card. The Queen Of Cups tarot card relates to family. As you know, Cancers care deeply about their families.
The Queen Of Cups represents the loyalty and love a Cancer will have for their family, always offering support, care, and guidance.
This card can also relate to how a Cancer may ignore negative behaviors of the ones they love because of their affection for them.
On the other side, the Two Of Cups tarot card is all about love, and how opposites attract. The two lovers hold the cups, representing the love they have for one another. This union is sacred, and represents Cancer’s love and passion for their partners.
What Does It Mean If You Pull The Chariot In A Reading?
If you pull The Chariot during a tarot reading, then this card symbolizes strength, will, focus, and ambition when read upright.
When read in reverse, or if it appears in a negative manner, The Chariot represents ego, frustration, instability, and lack of balance or focus.
