Wheel of Fortune
Number 10, the Wheel of Fortune.
The wheel is surrounded by all 4 elements, water, air, earth and fire. This reminds us that everyone is subjected to what the Wheel of Fortune has in store for us, no matter what your status is. We all must experience both the good and bad that comes with life, for it is impossible to experience one without the other.
If you've been blessed with the Wheel of Fortune upright, then get ready for some positive changes heading your way! Perhaps you will be presented with an exciting opportunity, or you will be receiving good news. Maybe that thing you've been manifesting will finally arrive. Keep your eyes open, sometimes these good things are big and bold, but sometimes they may not be so obvious.
Whatever it is, remember to truly enjoy the happy times. Ground yourself in the moment and give thanks for all of the laughter and smiles.
It makes one think of a quote by Wallace Stevens, "Only the perishable can be beautiful, which is why we are unmoved by artificial flowers."
Good times are temporary, which is the reason why they are so beautiful.
Reverse:
Upright:
Bad luck, Misfortune, Disappointment, Unwelcome changes
Card in Reverse:
In reverse, the Wheel of Fortune can suggest that luck may not be on your side right now. Greater forces are at play, and we cannot control outside influences.
During this uncomfortable time, do not hold on to the illusion of control. Sometimes we try to fight change because we're afraid of suffering in some way. If we hold on too tightly, chances are we will just experience more pain and struggle. Try to let go and learn to accept that things may not be going as we had hoped, but this too shall pass.
Perhaps there is a silver lining. Look around you, is there something that you learned that helped you grow in some way? Many good things come out of difficult situations, we just have to look for them.
Things right now might not be ideal, but you will survive this. We have to accept that there will always be hard times, but just remember that the wheel is always turning.
Upright:
Love
Positive change in love, Good fortune, Blessings
Reverse:
Outside influences affecting relationships, Lack of control, Bad luck

Upright: The Wheel of Fortune in love can mean that an unexpected change is coming! Maybe your relationship is going to be moving on to the next level. Maybe your partner got you a surprise gift. Or if you are single, maybe that person you've been fancying is going to ask you out.
Remember to really enjoy these moments! Truly live in the present and soak up these joyous times.
Reversed: Sometimes we have no control over what happens in our lives, and this is true when it comes to our relationships as well. There may be some outside influence that is affecting your relationship/friendship right now. As hard as it might be, do your best to accept it and practice patience. Trying to control the situation may make it worse.
Upright: Some good opportunities may be presenting themselves to you soon in the workplace. Keep your eyes open for them! Sometimes these opportunities may show themselves as being challenges, but these challenges will help you move forward in your career. Embrace these changes and know that good things are heading your way!
Reversed: Some unexpected changes may be happening at work right now. These changes are often out of our control. Try your best to navigate around them and avoid fighting it. What can you do to better the situation? Things may be really difficult right now, but remember that the wheel will keep on turning and this too shall pass.
