Wheel of Fortune
Upright:
Step by step, steady progress
Smooth advancement, unobstructed flow
Reversed:
Obstacles in progress, twice the effort for half the result
Unfavorable development, streaks of misfortune
The Wheel of Fortune turns slowly, unveiling the mysteries of life and the laws of the universe. Composed of three circles, the innermost represents creativity, the middle symbolizes formative force, and the outer stands for the material world. Mystical symbols and the word “Tarot” are inscribed within, representing wisdom and mystery. Radiating lines extend outward, pointing to all directions and times, linking the four elemental emblems: the Ring of Glorious Flame, Wingseed Windgrass, Song of Mist, and the Towering Tree. A one-eyed hound leaps toward the light, a little death-god sinks into darkness, while the Starbird perches calmly on a branch, overlooking everything. This card symbolizes the cycles of life, the patterns of nature, and the interweaving of fate, reminding us to move with the rhythm of change, embrace transformation, and take hold of our destiny.
