10. The Wheel of Fortune

The Wheel of Fortune symbolizes the passage of time and the ever-changing nature of life. Each turn of the wheel may open up a new situation—or revive a scenario from the past. We enjoy the joy of success at the peak of our careers, and endure the pain of failure in life’s valleys. People are often troubled by sudden changes: a hard-earned career may collapse due to an economic crisis, or a happy relationship may shatter when a partner has a change of heart. These seemingly random events are in fact governed by the turning of fate’s wheel.

Yet we should not face life passively. There are still radiant opportunities to be found—in the courage, wisdom, and resilience we show in the face of destiny’s challenges. Though we may seem insignificant, we are capable of creating beauty and brilliance within fate’s eternal cycle.
