The Wheel of Fortune

The Wheel of Fortune's Meaning & Messages
The Wheel of Fortune speaks of faith, momentum and destiny. It is here to remind us that there will always be ups and downs and change is inevitable.
​
Where you end up on the Wheel is within your control as you choose your momentum and trend. Once things are in motion, they eventually reach a speed that is no longer for you to control and you must learn to surrender to higher forces.
​
Changes are always announced when the Wheel of Fortune pops in your spread and their nature will be determined by the surrounding cards.
​
The Wheel is a very interesting and unique card. It features the four fixed signs of the zodiac: the Angel is Aquarius, the Bull is Taurus, the Lion is Leo and the Eagle is Scorpio.
In most depictions, the letters YHVH are inscribed on the wheel, and stand for the name of God, which shan't be spoken out loud while the Sphinx embodies the mystery of life itself.
Under the Wheel, Egyptian God of the Dead Anubis reminds us that endings and beginnings go hand in hand, like life and death, ups and downs, light and darkness.
