Wheel of Fortune
The four corners feature the four fixed signs of the zodiac. Starting from the lower-left corner and moving counterclockwise: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Virgo. Scorpio appears as an eagle’s claw to remain faithful to the original Rider-Waite deck and the Western tradition of using an eagle to represent Scorpio. These four "hands" appear in physical form, yet incomplete—suggesting that they still have much to learn and a long path ahead. Only when they reach The World will they manifest as complete, transcending material existence.
The Wheel itself is formed by the symbol of Jupiter ♃. The crescent shape ☽ at the top represents spirituality, consciousness, and transcendent forces; the cross + below signifies the material world and physical existence. This structure expresses the core concept of "spirit ruling over matter," hinting at the idea of breaking through material limitations through spiritual growth.
