Nikki's Weekly Tarot Reading: July 20-26, 2026

The Chariot and Six of Swords

Our first card is the Chariot, illustrating taking charge of our lives and actions. It is about showing up as our whole selves, building our strength, and taking risks.

The Chariot joyfully embraces the life they truly want. Free from others' opinions and societal pressures, they recognize that life is a precious gift. With a bright spirit, they've decided to seize each moment and live it to the fullest.

This can be seen particularly through travel or by expanding our world through taking risks. The card encourages us to embrace life-affirming movement and effort.

Consider how you can embody the energy of The Chariot. Is there a dream that you can start planning and saving for? Where does your spirit lead you? Where does your heart desire to go?

Take time this week to think about these questions. Write down the places you are called to and how you could get there. Think practically about the steps needed and when the best time would be.

Focus on ways to strengthen your foundation. Take care of your body and mind, get your house in order, and examine your finances.

These things will help you feel strong and organized. From this place, your plans will seem less like a fantasy and more like a reality.

The Chariot is not just about imagining but putting your dreams into action. The four pillars of the cart point to a solid foundation. They show us that building a strong base in ourselves can be our launching pad to take flight.

The Six of Swords brings objectivity. Like scientists, we can sort through evidence and make decisions based on facts. We can zoom out to a bird's-eye view, removing our personal biases and seeing situations with clarity.

Imagine we were just on a boat that went through stormy waters. The seas tossed us this way and that, covering us with salty water. We were confused as we could not see through the fog and clouds. 

As we held on tightly to our vessel, we felt overwhelmed. But the sea finally calmed, and now we can see what’s in front of us. The calmer waters allow us to reconnect with ourselves.

With the Six of Swords, our vision is clear, and we make decisions with ease. We connect to our logical thinking and make choices from a non-anxious place. We choose things that will bring us stability and happiness.

Put these skills to use this week. Focus on areas where you have felt stuck and use the energy of the Six of Swords to sort through the blockages.

Now is the time to organize, de-clutter, and plan. The balance of emotions and intellect also allows us to navigate delicate situations or conversations more easily. The Six of Swords aids us in thinking and speaking with precision.

What are you excited to dig into this week? What conversations do you need to have? What projects do you need to tackle? Or what decisions do you need to make with this greater clarity?

This week is the perfect time to make a pros-and-cons list, create a budget, and check off your to-dos. And you will feel the passion from The Chariot cheering you on and pushing you forward.

Mantra for the week: I am precise, balanced, and full of insight. I take tangible steps toward my dreams.
