Wheel of Fortune
Life is shifting, and a new cycle is beginning to turn.
Upright Meaning
The Wheel of Fortune represents change, destiny, cycles, opportunity, and shifting circumstances. It suggests that life is moving, and a new turn may bring growth, success, or a change in direction.
Reversed Meaning
Reversed, the Wheel of Fortune points to excess, instability, repeated patterns, or difficulty adapting to change. It can suggest that growth is possible, but you may need to stop forcing control over the cycle.
Symbolism
The wheel symbolizes cycles, change, ascent and descent, and the movement of destiny across several planes.
The beings around the wheel, including the reconstructed sphinx, the ascending figure, and the descending figure, suggest different states and forces within change.
The seven-spoked wheel hints at cycle, order, and hidden cosmic structure.
Its core is not random luck, but the turning pattern of life and the human task of recognizing timing within change.
