The Wheel of Fortune upright
The Wheel of Fortune turns, reminding you that nothing stays frozen for very long. One cycle is ending, another is beginning, and you can choose to dance with the movement rather than brace against it. Things shift in your favor when you’re willing to follow the current. Keep an eye on the patterns that repeat in your life; they have a lot to teach you.
The Wheel of Fortune reversed
Reversed, the Wheel speaks of the feeling of going in circles, or of weathering a change you didn’t choose. Sometimes we want to freeze what’s moving, to hold on to what’s leaving. And yet the wheel never truly stops, and every low prepares a rise. Loosen your grip a little on what you can’t control, and the movement will become your ally again.
