Wheel of Fortune
The Wheel of Fortune is the only card in the Major Arcana without a human figure. It reminds us that there are forces larger than our individual will at play. Karma, luck, destiny, cycles—whatever you call it, the Wheel is turning. If you've been down, you're on your way up. If you've been on top, prepare for a change.
This card teaches non-attachment. The only constant is change. Don't cling too tightly to your current state, because it *will* pass. The center of the wheel is the only stable point. Be the hub, not the rim. Stay centered while the circumstances of your life rotate around you.
It often signifies a stroke of luck or a fated event—a chance meeting, a sudden opportunity, or a shift in direction you didn't see coming. The universe is shuffling the deck. Your job is to stay adaptable and ready to play the hand you are dealt.
