Detailed Meaning

The Wheel of Fortune illuminates the ever-shifting highs and lows that lead us through our dance with life. With this energy comes a sensation of fate or potential opportunity, depending on how you greet its underlying lessons. It prompts us to consider the patterns of our days that repeatedly emerge over time, and how we choose to respond to the circumstances we are faced with. This key may also reveal the negative habits or oppressive cycles we eventually learn to break, or the karmic lessons that we finally begin to understand more clearly.

Transformation

The transformational power of change feeds the momentum of the Wheel, allowing us to also work more intimately with our shadows. Without the inevitable pitfalls, the beauty around us would seem less brilliant and alive. These contrasts and extremes expose our clearest priorities, while also teaching us how to pour even more light into our emotional wounds. From here, we may continue to treasure the precious moments that make our dance even more worthwhile. How can we live in the gift of each present moment, and take it all in stride?

Reversed

There may be negative external forces influencing your situation. Think back: have you made any choices that are contributing to the present challenge? How can you regain control of your perspective in order to move forward?
