Understanding Wheel of Fortune

The wheel turns, sweet soul, and everything changes. The Wheel of Fortune, numbered X, represents the cosmic cycles that govern all existence—the seasons, the planets, the rise and fall of fortunes, and the karmic patterns we weave through lifetimes.

In the traditional image, a great wheel floats in clouds, surrounded by four winged creatures (the fixed signs of the zodiac: Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo, Taurus). On the wheel itself, a sphinx sits at the top wielding a sword (mastery, justice), while a snake descends on one side (Set, the Egyptian god of chaos) and Anubis rises on the other (resurrection, rebirth).

The Hebrew and Latin letters on the wheel spell both TARO and ROTA (Latin for wheel), plus the divine name YHVH. The wheel reminds us that we're part of cosmic patterns far larger than our individual lives.

Wheel of Fortune Upright Meaning

When this card appears right-side up in your reading

When the Wheel of Fortune appears upright, expect change—usually positive change, turning in your favor. This card represents pivotal moments, turning points, and the movement of destiny. What's been stuck begins to move; what's been down begins to rise.

The Wheel often appears when fate is taking a hand. Synchronicities increase, "lucky" breaks occur, and life seems to flow in favorable directions. However, this card also reminds us that nothing lasts forever—enjoy the upturn without attachment.

On a deeper level, the Wheel speaks to karma and cosmic cycles. What you've put into the universe returns to you. Past efforts bear fruit; past lessons come full circle.

Destiny

Fate taking a hand, pivotal moments, turning points.

Cycles

Life's ups and downs, seasons, karmic patterns.

Change

Inevitable transformation, nothing stays the same.

Wheel of Fortune Reversed Meaning

When this card appears upside-down in your reading

The Wheel of Fortune reversed may indicate a downturn, bad luck, or resistance to necessary change. If you've been at the top, you might be experiencing the inevitable descent—not as punishment, but as part of the natural cycle.

Sometimes this reversal suggests trying to force or resist fate rather than flowing with life's changes. You might be clinging to situations that need to evolve or fighting against circumstances beyond your control.

The reversed Wheel reminds us that downturns are temporary too. The wheel keeps turning—nothing stays at the bottom forever.
