The Wheel of Fortune tells of a cycle in life which cannot be controlled.
Pulled upright, the Wheel of Fortune card means there is a cycle to life we cannot control. The wheel keeps turning, and there is nothing we can do to stop it from doing so. There will be good times in the wheel, so enjoy them fully, but there will be bad times, as well. However, don't fret, as the wheel keeps turning and the cycle of life keeps going.
What is good will eventually turn bad and what is bad will eventually turn good.
If the Wheel of Fortune is pulled reversed, it may mean you have been experiencing a period of bad luck. Though this is unfortunate, the wheel will keep turning and things will begin to look up once again. Just don't ever think you're in control! What is fated will happen, and control is only an illusion we maintain.
When we believe we're in control, we often blame ourselves for things that are not our fault. The wheel simply keeps turning.
The Wheel of Fortune reminds us that the cycle of life keeps turning. Never believe you're in control. What is fated will happen, and things always change.
