The wheel of fortune. Just think about the gameshow. you spin a wheel hoping to win "big money". Sometimes you win it, sometimes you don't. It's not really a matter of how well you have prepared or what you expected would happen. It's a more like just having the natural odds. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. You could win $10,000 and a dream vacation on one spin, and then the next spin, hit bankrupt. But the game doesn't end just then. You get to keep spinning that big wheel of life. Sometimes it is in your favor, sometimes it's not. This card would be saying that if you are having trouble now, there may be a sudden change of good luck. Or, the reverse may happen where it seems all is going perfectly then something suddenly happens that changes all of that. I know the wheel (circle) is symbolic of the stages of life as well. There is baby then young man, then middle aged man then old man (or whatever the phases were). Also, with astrology, you have the rising and falling signs, the midhaven and the bottom one. Also, think about a hamster in a hamster wheel and what he goes though. He may be running very fast to keep up the motion of things. Then, when he stops, he may feel tossed around, do a couple loops, and then stop. He doesn't really have control of the loops (just has to hold on until it's over). |

Ok misty Im going with my gut here. I feel the card means that you can or your cant, its your choice of whether you want to achieve something in life or if you want to fail. You can allow the light to come in and help or one can fall into the darkness of despair. Im not real familiar with this card yet, I have been using angel cards for my readings, I am getting comfy with them before I move on to something else. CelticWinter |

Wheel of Fortune A new path is starting; problems are being solved through changes in circumstances kinda like spinning the wheel where it takes you only you know. I feel that spinning that wheel brings you from one extreme to the other powerfulness or helplessness. Its up to oneself to create the outcome to learn and to grow and mature or stand still motionless and do nothing .To me its saying life a gamble and here are my choices it can also mean much needed happiness and wealth LUNA |

discovering your role and purpose In Greek mythology, there are three women known as the Fates. They are responsible for spinning the destiny of each person at his or her birth. It is not surprising that the Fates are spinners because the wheel of fortune is an apt image for the elusive turns of a man's fate. This is the theme of Card 10. The Wheel of Fortune is one of the few cards in the major arcana that does not have a human figure as a focal point. This is because its center is above the realm of man - in the higher levels (clouds) where the destinies of all are woven together in the tapestry of life. The tarot recognizes that each person sets his own path in life, but is also subject to the larger cycles that include him. We experience chance events that appear to be accidents although they are part of the great plan. In readings, the Wheel of Fortune can indicate a vision or realization that strikes with great force. If you've been struggling with a problem or tough situation, this card can signal that you will find the answer if you stand back and view everything from a larger perspective. The Wheel of Fortune also represents unexpected encounters and twists of fate. You can't predict surprises; you can only be aware when one is circling around. Indeed, Card 10 often suggests wheel-like actions - changes in direction, repeating cycles and rapid movement. When the energy of the Wheel arrives, you will feel life speed up. You are caught in a cyclone that may deposit you anywhere. "Round and round and round she goes, and where she stops, nobody knows." |
