Wheel of Fortune (X)

Fate, timing, change

The Wheel of Fortune is one of the most highly symbolic cards in the deck, filled with signs that each have its own meaning. At the center of the card, lies a giant wheel, covered in esoteric symbols. There are different creatures that surround the wheel; the angel, the eagle, the bull and the lion. They are related to four fixed signs in the zodiac - leo, taurus, scorpio and aquarius.

The snake indicates the act of descending into material world. On the wheel itself, rides a sphinx that sits at the top, and what appears to be Anubis himself arising at the bottom. These Egyptian figures are representative of both the wisdom of the gods and kings (in the case of the sphinx) and the underworld (Anubis). They are rotating forever, in a cycle, and suggests that as one comes up, the other goes down.

Meaning

The Wheel of Fortune turns evermore, seemingly to communicate that life is made up of both good and bad times, and that the cycle is one that we cannot control. It is something that is subjected to both kings and workers, and that nobody on earth can avoid what is fated. When you have good moments in your life, make sure that you enjoy to the fullest, for what comes up must always go down. The same is true in reverse - when you are in a bad situation, things will eventually become better again.

Key Themes

The Fool encounters the Wheel of Fortune and has the realization that things will happen exactly when they're meant to, and that we're all ultimately subject to fate as the wheel continues turning.

What This Foretells

Upright: change, cycles, inevitable fate Reversed: no control, clinging to control, bad luck

Memorization Tip

The Wheel of Fortune features a wheel that we can think of as time ever-turning and bringing with it things we may perceive as either "good" or "bad" but are simply boiled down to fate.
