Oct 27: The Chariot (reversed)

I never really understood this card until after the days events. When things get out of control and you're off the tracks, and things begin pulling in different directions and become too 'black or white' (like the sphinx), we have a tendency to push ahead to correct the imbalance thereby driving us further down the road that's off track for our wellbeing.

The Chariot isn't destructive when reversed I don't think so much as showing that there's force being applied and progress being sought after or achieved but in the wrong doseage, or applied at the wrong time or in the wrong manner. A sledgehammer for a tiny nail.

Grabbing the reins may only come after losingall control. This is the vehicle (Chariot) thats either broken down, running low on gas, or heading uphill, in the wrong direction or just at a standstill.
Is progress made when we sit still? Does movement mean progress? Is doing nothing, doing enough?

Worthy questions with this card. Direction is everything now - without it we're spinning wheels and burning rubber and wasting gas
