Wheel of Fortune

"The wheel turns with creatures rising on one side and falling on the other: the only fixed point is the centre, and you can sit there."

Upright meaning

The Wheel marks the moment the scenery changes by itself: chance encounters, news, doors opening without your push. It reminds you that life moves in cycles, what is down comes up, what peaks descends, and that this particular turn favours you. Luck, in this card, is the meeting of accident and readiness; you cannot schedule the first, so sharpen the second.

Reversed meaning

Reversed, the turn feels against you, or you are gripping the rim of a wheel that insists on moving. It can mark a repeating pattern, the same situation in new costumes, that will keep returning until its lesson is taken. Loosen the grip; descents are part of the rotation.

In love

Fortuitous meetings, reunions, a relationship entering a different phase. Little here is forced; much depends on saying yes when the unexpected knocks.

In work and money

External movement: reorganisations, offers, market shifts. Position yourself for variance rather than betting everything on things staying as they are.

The card's advice

Ride the turn instead of fighting it, and stay close to your own centre.
