The Wheel of Fortune

Upright

• Fate
• Cycles
• Luck
• Turning point

Drawing the Wheel often means something is shifting: luck, circumstance, season, mood. The Wheel asks you to ride the change instead of fighting it. What's happening is bigger than you, but how you meet it is yours.

Reversed

• Bad timing
• Resistance
• A run of luck ending

Reversed, the Wheel is resistance to change, or a sense that things keep going the wrong way. Reversed Wheel often shows up when you've been at the bottom of the cycle and you're starting to suspect it's permanent. It isn't.

It can also indicate trying to control what can't be controlled. Some seasons just have to be lived through. The Wheel reversed asks for patience and for radical acceptance, the kind that frees you up to act on what's actually yours to act on.
