Eternal Cycles of Change

Without beginning and without end, the Wheel symbolizes the eternal cycles of change. Life stages, seasons, moon phases — everything in our human experience is in a state of constant transformation. The windmill in the distance reminds us that all these changes are grist for the mill.

Transformation of Loss into Gain

What may seem like loss can now turn into unexpected gain. Sorrowful events carry with them the gift of wisdom and depth of character. But changes are also accompanied by happy times. No joy lasts forever.

The Preciousness of Time

The grains of the hourglass mark precious moments as they pass. The Wheel's message is to find your place in the cycle of life and in the timeless experience of eternity.

Keywords

time, eternity, temporal world, inevitability of change, fortune.

Visual Description

A seated woman in a flowing, pale gown leans on a circular floral wreath of red poppies and other blossoms. Behind her, a wooden windmill stands against a muted sky and low hills, while an hourglass rests in shallow water by her feet. The image is framed by an ornate Art Nouveau border with white lilies, and the Roman numeral X appears at the top and bottom of the card. The scene emphasizes round forms — the wreath, the hourglass, and the distant sails — and shows quiet motion suggested by the windmill blades.
