You arrive at the path of the tornado of fate…
The Wheel of Fortune represents the path of destiny and fate, and the cycles of life that are forever changing.
The spokes of the wheel signify the peaks and valleys that your mind, spirit and body will pass through during the continuous cycles of change.
Astrologically, Jupiter, the planet of benevolence, prosperity, optimism, expansion, morality, aspirations and indulgences, rules the Wheel of Fortune.
The Major Arcana Represents Major Life Lessons: If the Wheel of Fortune comes out on the first card of your reading, you have a positive outlook regarding your life, but you might make a mistake and not think something through. If the Wheel of Fortune appears in the outcome of your reading in a positive position, your life is going to take a turn for the better. A positive change is in motion, and you will experience a lucky break such as a promotion, a raise, a new job, or meeting someone special.
The Story About The Wheel of Fortune
The blue sky represents thought and movement. The storm clouds hovering in the four corners of the Wheel of Fortune signify uncertainty, concealment, and the possibility of imminent change.
Four winged angels sit on the stormy clouds, each reading what may be a book of great importance. These books appear to have empty pages because they represent the unwritten story of your life, your journey through the Wheel of Fortune.
The winged angel, winged eagle, winged bull, and winged lion represent the four suits of the Tarot, the four quadrants of astrology, the four directions of the winds, and the four seasons. Their yellow wings represent inspiration and creativity, and a deeply rooted faith and love for Jesus.
The winged angel on the upper left side of this card represents air, Aquarius, and your higher intellect. The storm clouds indicate unexpected storms and rainy days ahead that will test your thoughts.
The winged eagle on the upper right side represents water, Scorpio, and your vision. The storm clouds indicate unexpected storms and rainy days ahead for the winged eagle. The break in the cloud represents your vision to see that this storm will pass, and you will experience a turn for the better.
The winged bull on the lower left represents the earth, Taurus, and your determination. The storm clouds are indicative of stormy days that will test your determination.
The winged lion on the lower right represents fire, Leo, and your strength. The storm clouds indicate storms ahead that will test your strength.
Your mind, vision, determination, and strength are in a constant flux when you become bogged down with negative pressures and situations, especially when you are searching for the truth. This phase will pass, you will be in a better place and the situation will change. When you are suffering and going through a loss, remember that you will rise again with hope for the future. The white clouds will reappear, signifying sunny days ahead.
Since the Wheel of Fortune is always turning, the times when you are happy and content are not going to last forever. You will descend and fall, and experience that rainy day. The dark clouds will reappear, signifying unexpected storms on the horizon.
My Interpretation Of The Wheel Of Fortune Tarot Card
When in a positive position, the Wheel of Fortune indicates unexpected positive change, good fortune, and mastery of your destiny. This card symbolizes life’s changes, its ups and its downs. The Wheel of Fortune’s positivity or negativity also depends on the cards surrounding it. Generally, it is a very auspicious card, but a close look reveals its many unfortunate influences. The nature of fate dictates that surprises aren’t always so happy.
When faced with an unhappy event, you must try your best to recognize some potential good. The Wheel of Fortune will turn again and may lead to amazingly positive results.
The Wheel of Fortune also speaks about consequences. In this sense it recalls the concept of karma, which tells you that every action you take affects everything else.
As the Wheel turns clockwise, its figures rise and fall. The Wheel of Fortune refers to big things, luck, change, fortune, abundance, and happiness. Above all, it indicates the unexpected.
The Wheel of Fortune brings twists and turns, and the north, south, east and west winds. Sometimes an out-of-your-control, unexpected situation occurs that makes you feel like you have met a personal tornado of fate, something that seizes you by surprise and hurls you in new unexpected direction!
Positive Position: You are experiencing a turn for the better, and the storms of the past have cleared.
Negative Position: You are experiencing a turn for the worse, failure and misfortune. When the surrounding cards in a spread are negative, this card indicates the opposite of good fortune. In such a case, expect a change you may not like.
Timing: There is no timing with this card.
