Major Arcana
Wheel of Fortune
The turn
Upright meaning
Circumstances are turning outside your control, and this time they turn in your favour. Take hold of it.
Reversed meaning
Bad luck, delay, or looping through the same cycle because the lesson was not taken.
What is in the picture
A wheel hangs in the sky, lettered so it reads TARO along with four Hebrew characters. A sphinx with a sword sits on top, a snake slides down the left side, Anubis rises on the right. In the four corners, four winged creatures each read a book. Nobody is turning the wheel. It turns, and the three figures are simply at three points of the same circle.
Love
An unexpected turn in your romantic life.
Career
Opportunity arrives from somewhere you did not expect. Do not miss it defending the old plan.
One thing you can do
Remember one time you were certain it had gone wrong and it came right. Write down what actually saved it. It is usually not the thing you are worrying about now.
Is Wheel of Fortune a yes or a no?
Yes, and often sooner than expected. But the card also notes: what arrives by rotation leaves by rotation.
Beside another card
A card changes meaning according to what sits next to it. These are the two most common pairings — tap through to read the other card.
