Wheel of Fortune
The Card
A great wheel turns in the sky, inscribed with letters and symbols. Four winged creatures in the corners read from books. Sphinx at the top, Anubis descending. The wheel turns without sentiment — no position on it is permanent.
Symbolism
The four corner figures (angel, eagle, lion, bull) represent the four fixed signs of the zodiac and the four evangelists — stability amid change. TARO written around the wheel can be read as ROTA (wheel in Latin) or TORA (Torah). The serpent descending is Set; Anubis ascending is the balance-keeper.
The wheel is always turning. A cycle is completing or beginning. Fortune shifts — prepare to ride the change rather than resist it. Good luck accompanies those who remain adaptable.
Bad luck, resistance to change, holding onto something past its time. Fighting cycles that cannot be stopped.
