I've been thinking alot about the two paths I could take- the path of complacency or the path of triumph.
Nine of cups versus two of cups- the Chariot versus Death.
How to proceed? In one hand there is great fulfillment of love and family if I choose to forgo an education for children. On the other hand there is the personal gratification from earning a degree and applying it to a career. I've always assumed I should just get a degree, but I have only recently begun to consider the family option. It never occured to me I would have to choose between one or the other because I didn't think I would have children.
Am I just hormonal? Is this an excuse not to finish school? Will I hate myself forever by giving up now?

Wouldn't the Chariot be balancing both? There's still time to finish your education before investing your time in children..
I don't know if you would intend to be a stay-at-home-mom, or what kind of career you would follow without kids, but there's probably a balance between them.
That is to say, go ahead and finish while you can. Giving up sucks.
I hope to home-school any kids I have, whether it is a state-appointed private tutor or if I become certified... and I'd feel a lot better about home-schooling if I had my own degree to flaunt :p
"See, kids? I know what I'm talking about. Now you're homework is to recreate the Sistine Chapel ceiling..."
However- my biological clock is crazy right now so it's probably hormones and a way to escape... I'm sure I disappoint modern feminists by looking to bearing children as an escape from the real world.
...and at the time the Chariot seemed to lead the path of least resistance, which is why it contrasted with the Death card.
