The Wheel of Fortune
Astrology: Jupiter | Element: Fire | Hebrew: כ (Kaph) | Kabbalah: 21. Kaph 【Compassion - Victory】
What is fate? Xiao Ye comes before a young woman. In her eyes swirl complex emotions—joy and sorrow alike. Countless souls stand around her, experiencing and feeling alongside him, waiting for fate’s arrangements and changes. Along the rim of her iris, a blue halo shimmers, within which many silhouettes drift faintly. With every blink of her eyes, each tremble of the violet’s petals resets the tiny figures to a new measure of time. In truth, the dial by which we record fate is none other than the eyes that have witnessed and lived it—joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, pain and grief. Everything cycles again and again, all with its own order.
