Wheel of Fortune — the Rider–Waite–Smith tarot card
Rider–Waite–Smith, 1909

Wheel of Fortune upright meaning

  • cycles
  • fate
  • turning point
  • luck

Things are shifting, and a turn of luck or a new chapter is arriving whether you planned it or not. Stay flexible and take the opening when it comes, what feels stuck won't stay that way.

Wheel of Fortune reversed meaning

  • setbacks
  • resistance
  • bad luck
  • upheaval

You're clinging to how things were while the wheel keeps turning, and that grip is what's hurting. Let the old chapter close instead of forcing it back, the timing isn't yours to control.
