10. Fortune

“Fate is not a prison, but a wheel—spinning, shifting, turning forever.”

The Wheel of Fortune is a card of cycles, fate, and life’s constant changes. It reminds us that nothing is permanent—life moves in rhythms of ups and downs, luck and challenge, beginnings and endings.

Traditionally, the Wheel is depicted with various mystical symbols, representing the cosmic forces of destiny and divine timing. This card teaches us that while we cannot always control what happens, we can control how we respond.

If you pull The Wheel of Fortune, it’s a sign of major shifts, opportunities, or unexpected changes. It can bring luck, fate, and karmic lessons, showing that life is always evolving.

Ask yourself:

• Am I resisting change, or embracing life’s natural cycles?
• How can I use this moment of transition to my advantage?
• What is life trying to teach me right now?
