The Chariot

The most transformative and difficult relationship

What The Hanged Man offers The Chariot

Offers the Chariot the one gift it cannot give itself — a reason to stop and see what it has been running past.

The Hanged Man's shadow is the Chariot — enforced surrender projects onto restless, unstoppable forward drive; the unlived action life.

What The Chariot offers The Hanged Man

Can model the value of disciplined, directed action to the Hanged Man — demonstrates that waiting can eventually become moving.

The Chariot's shadow is the Hanged Man — willpower at its extreme refuses to yield; the unconscious then forces the suspension it needs.

The Breaking Point

The Chariot's forward energy is experienced by the Hanged Man as annihilation; his sacred suspension is treated as an obstacle to overcome.
