Wheel of Fortune
The Wheel of Fortune speaks to the cyclical, ever-changing nature of fate, where happiness and misfortune alternate and nothing is permanent. It warns that luck is fickle and capricious—wealth can vanish like snow while a barren field may suddenly bloom. The lessons of the card stress that everything passes and life moves from darkness to light. In upright position it signals progress, luck, new opportunities, and success; reversed it indicates regress, delays, recurring problems, and disruption of plans.

ETERNAL MOVEMENT
Description
Happiness and misfortune are the two sides of human life. Who knows what will befall each man? Will he be rich or poor, healthy or sick, beloved or reviled? Fate may generously give one person a garden full of golden apples, while another person has only thistles and stone under her feet. But luck is fickle and capricious. Wealth can melt away like snow in the spring sun. In the field overgrown with weeds a garden could bloom forth. The lessons of this card are: everything passes. Joy and sorrow are not eternal. The sun disappears beneath the horizon today; tomorrow it will be reborn with the new dawn. Life is eternal movement from darkness to light.

Visual Description
A large, colorful, ornate wheel fills the center of the image, decorated with geometric roundels and floral motifs. To the right a woman in an embroidered red-and-gold folk dress and headdress stands holding a slender rod or spindle, her face turned upward. To the left a barefoot, gray-cloaked, haggard figure covers their face with an arm, looking down and withdrawn. Trees, plants and small fruits frame the scene, and at the bottom the printed title in Cyrillic reads "X. Колесо Фортуны."
