finals in 10 days. behind on two classes. pulled "how do i get through this" and got Chariot upright + Nine of Wands under it.
everyone says Chariot = victory go go go. but Nine of Wands feels like i'm already cooked. so is this "grit your teeth and win" or "you're white-knuckling and about to snap."
caffeine is doing most of the work rn. not proud
Chariot upright is focus, will, steering through chaos. For exams it can mean pick a lane and drive — schedule, cut distractions, finish the damn thing. Nine of Wands under it is the tired guard still standing. So not "easy win." More like you can get through if you stop fighting ten battles at once. Prioritize the two classes you're behind in. Sleep still counts as strategy. Victory here is finishing, not looking impressive while collapsing.
yeah i've been 'studying' six subjects badly instead of two properly
nine of wands under chariot is exhausted main character energy
people treat this card like a green light to ignore their body. it's not. if caffeine is the driver, you're not in the chariot. make a brutal short list for 10 days and protect sleep or the "victory" card turns into a crash after.
protect sleep during finals feels illegal but ok
Chariot is directional. one road. pick tomorrow's exam or the worst class first. stop asking the deck if you're strong enough. you're tired. still do the next block of work.
or accept a B and sleep. radical idea
fr cards won't write the essay
In classic decks two sphinxes pull opposite ways. Chariot wins by holding both without flying apart. For finals that can mean: ambition vs burnout, speed vs accuracy. You steer. If you're only flooring it, you're not doing the card — you're doing Nine of Wands with a trophy fantasy.
opposite sphinxes = my sleep schedule vs my ambition lol
study. the major arcana is not a study guide
chariot + nine of wands is passable, not glamorous. that's fine
i pulled chariot before boards and still cried in the bathroom. passed tho
cut one obligation this week. chariot needs less drag
caffeine as your co-pilot is the red flag not the card
