Wheel of Fortune

Notice the turning.

  • Cycles
  • Change
  • Perspective

What the card shows

The Wheel turns, and what was up comes down. The card invites a wider view of change: seasons pass, and each part of a cycle has something to teach.

Some parts of life move beyond our control. This card invites you to distinguish what you can influence from what you can only meet thoughtfully.

Among the major arcana

The 22 major arcana trace a long arc of experience, from the Fool’s first step to the completion of the World. They are often read as the larger themes in a life: beginnings, choices, endings and renewal.
