Wheel of Fortune
Upright Meaning
The Wheel of Fortune is turning. Whatever you cling to, loosen; whatever you have waited for is on its way. No high lasts forever, and no low does either — ride the change instead of resisting it.
Symbolism
The Wheel of Fortune turns in the sky, creatures rising and falling with it, sphinx above. It paints cycles: no high lasts forever, and no low does either.
Reversed Meaning
Reversed, the Wheel is resistance to change or timing that has not arrived — grasping at what is leaving, or rushing what is not ripe. Some lows are simply part of the cycle. Steady yourself and wait for the wheel to come around.
Wheel of Fortune in Love
The relationship enters a new cycle or a fated turn. Don’t take the highs for granted or the lows as forever.
Wheel of Fortune in Career & Money
A turning point or shift — opportunity, or a forced adjustment. Stay flexible enough to catch the moment when it comes.
When Wheel of Fortune Appears
Appears when you sense things are about to change but can't read which way.
