Wheel of Fortune
Major Arcana
A great wheel turns in the sky, surrounded by clouds and four winged creatures in the corners — an angel, eagle, lion, and bull. A sphinx sits atop the wheel holding a sword, while a serpent descends on one side and Anubis rises on the other.
▲ Upright Meaning
The Wheel of Fortune turns, bringing a pivotal shift in circumstances beyond your control. Embrace the cyclical nature of life — what rises must fall, and what falls will rise again.
▼ Reversed Meaning
Reversed, The Wheel of Fortune suggests resistance to inevitable change or a run of bad luck. Fighting against natural cycles only prolongs the difficulty — acceptance brings relief.
