The Wheel of Fortune is one of the most karmic cards in the Tarot. With no human figures, it centers on divine forces and cosmic rhythms. For some, it is fate rolling the dice; for others, the echo of karma. It reminds us that everything changes—what rises may fall, and what falls may rise again. Though its influence is long-lasting, the timing is unpredictable. Embrace the movement, for resisting it only prolongs uncertainty.
