			==History==
			In the 1374 [[trionfi]] poem which inspired the creation of the tarot, Fame was the name of one of the six original triumphs, which later became The Chariot in subsequent tarot decks.

			The painting of Fame depicts a carriage carrying an [[angel]] with a sword who is blowing a horn. A dead body is being trampled underneath the carriage. Surrounding the carriage is a crowd of people who all have their mouths open as though they are talking about the approaching angel. The allegory of Fame suggests that the way to be remembered and talked about is through victory in battle.

'''The Chariot''' is the seventh card in the [[Major Arcana]] in most traditional [[Tarot]] decks.

==Rider-Waite Depiction==
The symbolism of this card corresponds in all points with the ideas which it expresses. A Conqueror, crowned with a coronet, upon which rise shining Pentagrams of gold, advances in a cubical chariot, surmounted by an azure, star-decked canopy supported by four columns. This symbol reproduces the [[The Magician]] and [[The World]] cards in another order of ideas. The four columns represent the four animals of The World, and the four tools of The Magician. The Conqueror has three right angles upon his cuirass, and he bears upon his shoulders the Urim and Thummim of the sovereign sacrificant, represented by the two crescents of the moon on the right and left; in his hand is a scepter.

Two sphinxes, one white, the other black, are harnessed to the chariot. The sphinxes are female entities, the driver of the Chariot is a man. This not only symbolizes the subjugation of Nature by will-power, but also the fact that, while inwardly “woman rules the world,” rulership in the outer world lies with man, and it is his duty to keep within due bonds the forces of woman.

Upon the front of the cubical chariot, there is the Indian lingam, surmounted by the flying sphere of Egypt. The word Yod-he-vau-he is portrayed upon the front of the chariot by the winged globe, signifying the union of two principles. The two sphinxes correspond to the two principles, active and passive. The Conqueror corresponds especially with the Sword and the Vau of the sacred name.

==Depictions in other decks==
The [[Thoth Tarot]] deck shows the figure controlling four animals, a more specific allusion to magical animals found on The World card.

The [[Vlad Dracula Tarot]] shows [[Vlad the Impaler]] leading his troops into battle with his sword raised, ready to fight upon a white horse bearing a red mantle of war.

In the [[Hieronymus Bosch Tarot]], the seventh card of the Major Arcana is called "Deception," and shows two strange creatures taking advantage of a sleeping woman.

==Divinatory meaning==
In [[divination]], this card usually indicates aid in hardship, war, triumph, vengeance, and trouble.

In reversed position, it means: Riot, quarrel, dispute, litigation, or defeat.
