Wheel of Fortune Tarot Card Meaning

The Wheel of Fortune represents the constant change of the external world, and your relationship with it. If you have a positive relationship with expectation, good luck will follow. If you expect the worst, the Universe will often deliver it to you.

This is represented in common phrases like, “what goes around comes around” and “you reap what you sow” as well as “pay it forward” and “you get out of it what you put into it”. The world reflects back to us what we believe about ourselves and the character of our actions. It’s not magic–it’s just how the world works.

The invitation of the Wheel of Fortune is to take responsibility for the vibes you are putting out into the world. Are you sowing what you want to reap? Are you showing up as a positive contribution to the world and those around you? Do you live in a state of personal responsibility, or one of blame?

If you feel stuck, know that life is always changing, and nothing ever stays the same. But it’s up to you what energy you put into motion. Believe in yourself, in your dreams, and have faith that the Universe is on your side. This sets you up in the most positive way for what is to come.

Life can feel like it’s out of your control, but personal power comes from tracing back your circumstances to your own actions and attitudes. At the very least, you always have the opportunity to make the most of what you’ve been given, and not resist the inevitable. Even in the most trying of circumstances, you have the option to bring your best self to the table.

The Wheel of Fortune can represent a turning point in your life where it feels like destiny is leading you somewhere new. Trust, let go, and let yourself be led. Whatever happens, stay open, be optimistic, look for synchronicities and embrace the magic, dynamic dance of life!
