Of course, The Chariot card implies forward motion. It speaks very strongly of a time to act. Good energy is coming into play here and inspirations that may have been delayed or put to the back of the mind before are being given a chance to take shape. If you've been worrying about acting on something, now is the time. If you've been deliberating over two courses of action, now might be a good time to make the decision. The Chariot doesn't just speak about completing outstanding tasks and projects, it also speaks about initiating new endeavours. Branching out and taking life by the throat can be made easier under this influence. It's almost like the card is saying, 'now's the time'.
Fulfilling commitments is important. It'll make you feel your path is clearer and free you up to get on with other things. However, use The Chariot card as a lesson regarding entering into promises or commitments you can't keep. Are you over-stretching yourself? Are you trying to give your time equally in all areas of life and thus finding you never have enough time to finish everything? Have you made a promise you can't keep or allowed someone to have a ridiculously high expectation of you? Be honest with yourself, and then with others, about what is realistically achievable. There is a danger of feeling magnanimous and ready for everything and this leads to biting off more than you can ever chew.
