Christina Hu’s Cornerstore Tarot series imagines what tarot might look like if your neighborhood bodega were the portal to the universe. The Chariot doesn’t thunder in on horses or wheels—it rockets forward in the form of a cold can of energy drink gripped with unstoppable determination. It’s the kind of selection you’d grab from the bodega fridge at midnight when you have to keep going—when the night is long, the project is due, or the train is two stops too far.
The hand holding it feels triumphant and ready, like someone who’s decided: Yeah, I’m pushing through this. The swirling background almost hums with caffeine buzz, momentum, and that familiar “let’s do this” energy. It’s a reminder that victory isn’t always epic; sometimes it’s fueled by a fizzy sweet drink from the corner store and a moment of grit.
A funny, charming reimagining of forward motion and self-will—The Chariot, but make it bodega-powered.
