Manawydan, in Llewellyn's Tarot, was the son of the sea, so he rather reminds me of Neptune. Other than that, he is easily recognizable as the Chariot.

Marchetti's Chariot is interesting because it is not a man but Cleopatra riding the chariot pulled by sphinxes, same as in the RW. She has a funny way of looking to her side: it makes me curious as to what she may be looking at, since she seems rather amused.

Once more, the Universal Chariot is rather different: three winged horses standing before a building with a human figure embedded in the facade. This building reminds me of the Tower, but I would have a hard time recognizing this card as the Chariot at first glance. How about you?

I also find it hard to decide on a favorite card: they all have their points. Llewellyn's probably expresses best the meanings I am used to. Marchetti's  makes an interesting variation while still being easily recognizable. And I like the color contrast in the Universal. Which is your favorite?  

I read  the chariot card as to where it falls in a reading.  If it falls in the home sector of your reading and your question is about money I interpret it to mean that you are been driven by money and perhaps you need to pull back a little to balance out the other areas of your life or yes there is a shift in your finances if you take control and be aware of others around you who may try to change your direction. Money comes and money goes....  If this card falls in your future and your question is will I have enough money in the near future - it tells me you may have to move to make it possible. If a position comes up in  car sales or area of transport or travel related you are on the right track to having more money or making  ends meet in the future. Alternately if you do get the job you may have to travel further than you thought and it may not be worth your while, soo you have to pull back take more control and decide it could cost you in time money and energy...I hope this helps

My take on this card is a journey of self discovery, the mother holding the child i see as nuturing yourself, the wolf stands for loyalty, independance, intuition, pathfinder and the chariot depicts a journey.

This card depicts taking action and taking charge to direct your life. Taking aim and then moving forward. It also says to me that it might be a good idea to ask for guidance to stay on track.

This card makes me think of going somewhere. Even if it's a journey or just moving on...to me means movement. He has control and he seems calm,peaceful and confident so this change
is going to be for the best.
