Wheel of Fortune Tarot Meaning: Upright & Reversed
The Wheel turns—sphinx above, serpent and Anubis below, symbols of the four quarters in motion. It is cosmic recurrence: no one stays forever at the summit, and no one remains forever in the pit.
Wheel of Fortune upright
Upright, the Wheel shows change arriving—luck may rise, or necessary alteration may come. This moment is one link in a larger chain. Flow with the turn beats rigid resistance; the thread of cause tightens.
Advice: Accept change. Store grain in good seasons; hold core in low ones. The cycle will turn.
Wheel of Fortune reversed
Reversed, the wheel sticks: resisting needed change, repeating old error, or blaming fate while ignoring choice. Sometimes pause is charge before the next revolution.
Advice: Ask what pattern repeats. Change one habit and the gears may loosen.
