In this card, we see a revolving wheel which represents the wheel of life. In each corner of the card we see four winged creatures sitting upon clouds. These creatures represent the four elements of minor arcana. A common aspect to most interpretations of this card within a reading is to introduce an element of change in the querent’s life, such change being in station, position or fortune: such as the rich becoming poor, or the poor becoming rich.
The Wheel of Fortune symbolizes the unpredictable nature of the universe. A big picture card, it shows us that nothing is fixed. Our situations are constantly changing and what starts out as good or bad will soon change into something else. In this sense this is a card of transformation that can be read many different ways. It all depends on how we approach our place on the wheel. Fighting the changes that come with The Wheel of Fortune is a fool’s errand. It’ll simply spin again, bringing us somewhere new. This is a card that encourages flexibility, creative thinking, and taking opportunities when they arise. It’s best to make hay while the sun shines because The Wheel will spin again and who knows where to. Preparation is well and good, but when you don’t know what’s next it can turn into a waste of energy.
