Wheel of Fortune
The Wheel of Fortune depicts cycles of change, fate, and shifting luck through the image of a turning wheel under the witch's hand and its surrounding talismans. It highlights that fortune can rise and fall suddenly, offering opportunities and demanding adjustments in turn. The presence of books and charms points to forces both learned and mysterious shaping events, urging humility when riding momentum and resilience when falling. The card warns against clinging to positions or resisting natural rhythms, since doing so invites stagnation and repeated mistakes, and it encourages accepting life's circular motion to make wiser choices.

Visual description
A green-skinned witch wearing a black hat stands behind a large red fortune wheel labeled 'Fortune Wheel' with numbers visible; she rests one bony hand on the rim. A black cat crouches at her side, a carved jack-o'-lantern sits nearby, and a small bat flies against a cloudy sky. A grinning moonlike face reads from a book in the upper right, while an open book and stacked volumes lie on the rocky foreground; an ornate gilded frame surrounds the scene with the numeral 10 at the top and the title 'The Wheel of Fortune' at the bottom.
Meaning
The wheel turns beneath the witch's hand and you can almost hear the creak of its axle as fate spins its course; the scene smells faintly of candle wax and autumn earth. This card tells the story of cycles and sudden tilts of fortune, where one moment brings ascent and the next demands adjustment, and the presence of talismans and books hints at forces both learned and mysterious shaping events. Luck arrives and departs like the cat slipping between moonlight and shadow, and opportunities appear as if dropped by the turning wheel itself. When the wheel lifts you, it urges you to ride the momentum with humility and gratitude; when it drops you, it teaches resilience and the inevitability of change. This image also warns that clinging to a position when patterns shift invites stagnation, and reversing the pace can reveal lessons about timing, responsibility, and the unseen threads of cause and effect. Accepting that life moves in circles allows you to respond with wiser choices rather than resisting the current, while ignoring such cycles risks repeating mistakes until the wheel forces a reckoning.
