WHEEL OF FORTUNE DESCRIPTION
The Wheel of Fortune Tarot card represents Karma but also balance, movement and the cycles of the cosmos.
The wheel in the centre of the Wheel of Fortune Tarot card is inscribed with the Hebrew word for God, YHVH and the Latin word for wheel, rota. The spokes form two equal-armed crosses, symbolizing balance.
This wheel on the Wheel of Fortune card is in constant motion because someone is always doing something somewhere. Karma is a Sanskrit word, meaning “action” or “deed,” and every action has an effect. The three beings around the wheel explain how it works.
The sphinx on the top of the wheel represents wisdom and equilibrium. The sphinx on the Wheel of Fortune Tarot asks us to consider life’s riddles and seek the answers to them.
The serpent Typhon, the destroyer, descends the wheel on the left of the Wheel of Fortune Tarot, while the Anubis, the Egyptian God who leads the souls of the departed to the afterlife, rises on its right.
Painted on the Wheel of Fortune Tarot card in the three primary colours, these figures are part of the same complete cycle. The winged beings in the Wheel of Fortune card’s four corners (four of the Five Elements) are outside forces that can help or hinder us.
The open books on the Wheel of Fortune Tarot card symbolize that they are conveying messages from the divine source. They are seated on clouds, meaning that they are divine beings themselves.

UPRIGHT WHEEL OF FORTUNE
Remember, The Wheel of Fortune Tarot card is, at its core, all about karma. Bear in mind that the planet Jupiter is associated with The Wheel of Fortune card. While Jupiter is known for his generous nature, the fact that he is also connected to the law of attraction is equally important. This energy showers the wealthy with riches and the strong with strength.
The Wheel of Fortune tells you that in general, it looks as though things are changing. In most cases, this indicates positive, needed changes but for some people, change itself is very difficult and can almost be traumatic. This is a very spiritual and karmically oriented time. Change is part of the cyclical nature of life.

General: This card always reminds us that "this too shall pass." Whether that's good times or bad times, it passes. If suddenly you find yourself "sitting on top of the world," keep your perspective, as that too, like everything else, changes.
Live in the now, count your blessings and just realize that much of life is outside of your control, but that even that is okay.
Work: It's very possible that you will decide to leave your job if you are currently working, even if it's a good job because your heart is no longer in it. You are being called to follow your dream, no matter what it is.
If you have a desire to do something different, but don't know anybody who does what you want to do - be bold and call up someone who does what you dream of doing.
Love: It's possible that a relationship needs to be re-negotiated or is possibly no longer going to suit your needs. This does not mean that, if you are in a committed relationship, that it is doomed, but only that you will need to take action to make sure that it makes it.
If you're looking for a relationship, first get very, very clear on exactly "who" you are looking for, then get out and mingle.
Finances: In the financial sense the Wheel of Fortune is generally a good omen for anyone who has been having a rough time for a while financially. It means that your circumstances are very likely to change, markedly, for the better.
However, if you have had a long prosperous period, consider the opposite possibility, that your income may drop a little.
Health: Resisting change can be bad for your health. Do whatever it takes to keep your stress level under control. When in doubt, go back to the basics; proper nutrition, proper rest and proper exercise go a long way towards helping. Meditation and Yoga may help keep you in topshape also.

REVERSED WHEEL OF FORTUNE
|
When the Wheel of Fortune Tarot is reversed in a reading, it is a good idea to postpone a major change that involves risk-taking.
When the Wheel of Fortune Tarot appears it is certainly a good time to explore new ways of doing things, if the same approach has led to failure in similar past instances. When reversed, The Wheel of Fortune tells you that in general things and situations in your life are going to change. In most cases, this indicates positive, needed changes but for some people, change can almost be traumatic. General: When reversed, the changes which the Wheel of Fortune point to may not be as obvious or marked as in its upright version, still, change is coming. This card always reminds us that "this too shall pass." Whether that's good times or bad times, it passes. This is an important time to think positively and to expect the best. Work: With the Wheel in reverse, there is still a slim chance that you will decide to leave your job if you are currently working, even if it's a good job because your heart is no longer in it. Give some thought to what it is that you dream of doing. Even in reverse, the wheel tells you that you may be nearing time for a change, work-wise; and perhaps a very big one. Love: When the wheel appears in reversal, it is slightly less likely that you may find yourself coming to the conclusion that a long-term relationship may no longer suit your needs. At a minimum, you need to do some sober evaluation about how your love life is working and how you are feeling about your relationship. |

Finances: When reversed, the Wheel of Fortune is still generally a good omen for anyone who has been having a rough time for a while financially. It means that your circumstances are likely to improve at least a bit in the near future. However, if you have had a long prosperous period, consider the opposite possibility.
Health: The wheel reminds us even in a reversal that resisting change can be bad for your health. That does not mean you should just accept everything that is dished out, but it does mean that you need to “pick your battles.” Do whatever it takes to keep your stress level under control.
