Wheel of Fortune
- Major Arcana
- Element: Fire
- Astrology: Jupiter
A great wheel inscribed with letters and symbols floats among clouds, a sphinx seated on top, a serpent descending one side and a jackal-headed figure rising on the other, four winged creatures reading books in the corners.
Number: 10: cycles, turning points, renewal
Identify one thing you are trying to control that is beyond your control, and practice releasing it today.
Upright
- change
- cycles
- turning point
- perspective
- flow
The Wheel of Fortune reminds you that life moves in cycles, and that what is turning now will turn again. It invites you to loosen your grip on how things should go and to notice the opportunities that change brings. You are not the wheel, but you can choose how you ride it.
Reversed
- resistance to change
- repeating patterns
- feeling stuck
- disruption
- clinging
Reversed, the Wheel can point to resistance against a change already underway, or to a pattern that keeps repeating because its lesson has not landed. It may feel like things are working against you. Ask what this cycle is teaching and what you might do differently this time.
In your life
- Love
- Relationships shift through seasons; trust that a changing phase does not mean a failing one.
- Work
- Circumstances are moving; stay flexible and watch for an opening you did not plan for.
- Growth
- Notice the patterns you repeat and consider what would break the loop.
A question to sit with
What cycle in my life feels like it is turning right now, and how do I want to meet it?
Affirmation
I move with life's changes instead of against them.
