The Wheel of Fortune

The Wheel of Fortune

Key Words: fortune, chance, cycle of life, opportunity, destiny, fate, good luck, movement, turning point, annual event

Meaning:

For everything there is a season, and the Wheel reminds us of that. Our experience of life isn’t just one wheel, though. Life is wheels within wheels: a lifetime, a year, a season…or your time spent in childhood, being a student, spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent, or in a certain professional role. The Wheel upright says that whatever is coming is part of the natural cycle and shouldn’t be a surprise (that’s the job of the Tower). When t hings are flowing as they should, there is a feeling of “rightness”, and that feeling influences the meaning of this card as “lucky.” So, if it comes up for you, things will flow in a natural way and maybe you’ll even have a little extra special good luck, too!

Advice:

Sometimes the normal flow of life includes things that we might associate with the bottom of the wheel: death, endings, things falling apart. The Wheel keeps turning and there is no stopping it. Even death doesn’t stop it, because matter decays and becomes something new. You can control a lot in your life, but not everything. When faced with inevitable turnings of the Wheel, know that you can always control how you respond to anything that comes your way.
