Representation
The card portrays the seasons as Sabbats: Yule, Ostara, Litha, and Mabon, alternating with the Sabbats between the equinoxes and solstices, namely Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh, and Samhain. The Wheel of the Year is shown as an old-fashioned gaming wheel, always in motion, indicating that change is inevitable. The pointer at Yule emphasizes the transition from dark to light times, suggesting positive changes ahead. Just as we cannot control the seasons, some events occur by chance.
Significance in Readings
When this card appears in a reading, it may indicate the beginning of long-term good fortune, potentially lasting up to six months, reflecting the duration of the dark and light seasons in ancient times. Other cards in the spread can reveal the source of this energy or which life areas will be affected by the changes.
Nature's Role
Here, nature in its pristine form determines fate through chaos or luck, allowing one to benefit without influencing the events' course. Actions of others or unexpected occurrences may work in the querent's favor. As the wheel constantly turns, embrace and enjoy luck when it arrives, as it is akin to the changing seasons, possibly coming to an end.
Opportunities and Cycles
The Sabbats throughout the year provide favorable opportunities with each new phase, signifying the start of a new life cycle. Unexpected events, transformations, or sudden success may occur. Obstacles may unexpectedly vanish, facilitating advancement, positive changes, or problem resolution. The card also reflects the potential for a project's good outcome or testing new ideas while staying true to one's vision. The Wheel of the Year, as a card of encouragement, often appears to indicate the correctness of the chosen path and the energy of unexpected progress.
