Wheel of Fortune

Major Arcana, 10 — from The 1909 London Deck.

Upright

change, luck, a turning point

Things are moving, and not entirely by your doing. The Wheel is the reminder that circumstance has a vote — the timing here is favourable, so take the opening rather than waiting for a better one.

In a yes or no reading, Wheel of Fortune upright answers yes.

Reversed

bad timing, resisting change, a run of luck ending

The turn is not in your favour just now, or you are pushing against a change that is going to happen anyway. Wheels keep turning. This position is not the final one.

In a yes or no reading, Wheel of Fortune reversed answers maybe — the situation has not settled.

What this card does in a reading here

A reading draws one card and answers the question you asked with it. Wheel of Fortune can come up either way up — reversals are on in this deck, because the 1909 original was drawn with them in mind — and the two readings above are the starting point, not the answer. The answer depends on what you asked.
