Imagery

On this card, The Wheel of Fortune's dress shows its internal mechanism, consisting of several wheels connected together. Each wheel is just a cog in a larger mechanism; their functionality depends on the operation of all other parts. The woman has no power over the process, no control over the rises and falls of life. The wheel at the top holds her heart. Her happiness or sorrow is entirely dependent on how her fate turns. The clock in the woman's hand symbolizes the eternal cycles of time to which we are all subject. The clouds in the sky show that life is forever changing.

Upright Meaning

Cycles of time, destiny, processes, eternal changes.

Reversed Meaning

Illusion of control, resistance, rage against the machine.
