Wheel of Fortune

Upright

A great wheel in the sky, four winged beings at the corners reading from books. The Wheel turns and you don't turn it. Something is moving on its own. Sometimes that's luck arriving, sometimes it's the cycle finally rolling forward after a long stuck stretch. Either way, the card is the reminder that you are not the only force in the room. Cooperate with the turning. Don't grip the spokes.

Reversed

The Wheel still turns but you're on the underside. Resistance, bad timing, the cycle that just won't break. There's a kind of grace in this card reversed — it doesn't say the wheel stays broken. It says you're inside the part that feels like it does. Hold on. Stop fighting the spokes. The wheel doesn't ask permission to keep turning.
