Upright Card Meaning

We all know that sometimes to be human is to feel impossibly small. Our lives are tiny blips in the working of the universe, and often we feel as if there are larger forces pushing us in different directions.
The card of The Wheel of Fortune represents some of those unseen forces that act on our lives. It represents fate, destiny and fortune. Our lives are not wholly predestined and the power of choice and reaction is still significant, but sometimes we get pushed in a direction that we did not foresee by events that we cannot control. The Wheel of Fortune is warning that a change in circumstances is coming, and it may not be one that you expect.
However, this is your opportunity to decide on your own strength of character. You may not be able to choose your current circumstances, but you can choose how to react to them. Roll along with the Wheel of Fortune and your place in destiny, take advantage of happy accidents that come in your way, and you can find happiness where you least expect it. Do you trust the universe to work for you?

Reversed Card Meaning

For many of us, our first instinct when we feel the touch of fate on the scales of our lives is to rage against our circumstances. It is a normal human reaction, but a futile one.
The Wheel of Fortune reversed asks you to direct your energy responsibly. There is no use in clinging to control in a situation that realistically you cannot influence. Only grief can be found in getting bitter about your circumstances. You have no control over certain aspects of your life and the sooner you are able to accept this, the faster you can turn your energies towards those areas that you can influence.
Alternatively, the Wheel of Fortune reversed encourages you to remember that some fates do not have to be accepted passively. The cycles of generational trauma, unhealthy thinking patterns, and other poisoned legacies could ultimately break you, or you could break them. You do not need to be defined by your past or your family’s past. Sometimes it is not fate speaking but trauma and you can silence its voice and forge a new path, a shining one that is all your own.
