Golden Tarot of Klimt - study group - the chariot VII

Minotauro

this is a card I ussualy strugle with
it is suposedly my soul card or ife card or something like that , but it just always feels so unlike me , haha.

and the figure in the card is also hard for me to understand, it is taken from the painting medicine of wich we alredy talked about in the magician ,in it Klimt conveyed an ambiguous unity of life and death, with nothing to celebrate the role of medicine or the science of healing.

the figure in the card is suposedly representative of life.

the charriot itself was added for the card , and I have no idea if it was taken from another painting

the woman seems relaxed , with her eyes closed , she can litteraly do it with her eyes closed , she doesnt neeed to look where she's going she has faith and takes the reigns lightly , mybe even a little carelessly , this gives me the idea she is confident she doesnt worry , but she takes the whip firmly , and above her head , kinda like a scepter, she is in control of her life? she reigns over it , she holds her responsabilities , but doesnt let them overwhelm them , she is relaxed about it....


I really could use you imput X( haha

some keywords ; life , control , lead , confidence , responsability , trust , faith , direction , moving forward ... something else? X) hjaja

I think she is asleep or in a trance and her left arm, holding the whip, is acting independently...her unconcious passions drive her forward, her desires, her mood...if you were to ask her to explain herself, I don't think she could explain...she was just carried away, acting upon a hunch.....she is completely self-absorbed into her dream and moves forward without regard for consequences...I think this is a card of adolescent anguish and confusion...not quite knowing how to be accountable to oneself yet knowing that you desire change....
