Wheel of Fortune
Major Arcana · Fire
The Wheel of Fortune marks the turning of cycles and the movement of forces larger than the self. It reminds you that circumstances rise and fall, and that your power lies in how you meet the turn. Reflect on what is shifting now, and where acceptance of change might free you more than resistance.
The image
A great wheel marked with esoteric letters turns in the sky, a sphinx atop it, a serpent descending and Anubis rising. In the four corners sit winged figures — angel, eagle, lion, bull — reading books.
