The three Fates circle around a golden spinning wheel, each holding the threads of life:
Clotho holds the spindle, spinning the thread of life from the void — symbolizing the beginning of all things;
Lachesis runs her fingers along the thread, tightening and loosening it, weaving the twists and turns of destiny and fate;
Atropos holds a silver scissor, and with a decisive snip, announces the end of some journeys.
The wheel spins eternally, fate is ever-changing. This card reveals the constant truth of the world: the rise and fall of life are like the turning of a wheel. The misfortune of today may be the prologue of new beginnings, and what seems like fortune now could hold the seeds of a sudden shift. The Wheel of Fortune gives us hope — all things are in motion — but also warns that some paths, once set in motion, are beyond our control.
