🔮 Featured Card: The Wheel of Fortune

Imagine standing at the edge of a vast, shimmering lake under the light of a full moon. The water's surface reflects the celestial dance above, and as you gaze into its depths, you notice a wheel slowly turning, adorned with symbols and creatures.

This is the Wheel of Fortune, a reminder that life is an endless cycle of change and opportunity.

Last week, I found myself at a crossroads, much like this lake's edge.

A project I had poured my heart into seemed to be stalling, and I felt the weight of uncertainty. But then, I drew the Wheel of Fortune, and it was as if the universe was telling me, "Embrace the change."

The card's imagery, with its wheel turning amidst the stars, spoke to me of the inevitability of life's cycles. The sphinx atop the wheel, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge, reminded me that understanding and accepting these cycles is key to navigating them.

In its upright position, the Wheel of Fortune signifies that change is not only inevitable but also beneficial. It's a call to seize the opportunities that come with these shifts. Perhaps your life is presenting new paths or unexpected turns. Embrace them with open arms, knowing that each turn of the wheel brings you closer to your destiny.

Practically, this might mean taking a new job offer, starting a creative project, or even shifting your perspective on a long-standing issue.

When reversed, the Wheel of Fortune can indicate resistance to these changes. It might feel like you're stuck in a rut, repeating the same patterns without progress.

This is a time for shadow work, to delve deep and understand what fears or beliefs are holding you back. Ask yourself, "What am I afraid to let go of?" By confronting these shadows, you can break free and allow the wheel to turn once more.

In daily life, the Wheel of Fortune encourages us to stay adaptable and open. Whether it's a small change in routine or a major life shift, remember that each turn is an opportunity for growth.

Embrace the ebbs and flows, knowing that they are part of your journey.
