Weekly Tarot Card (July 12) – Wheel of Fortune

Wheel of FortuneThe card drawn for this week is the Wheel of Fortune.

The Wheel of Fortune is elaborate in its symbolism. In the centre lies a wheel. It contains the knowledge of the Great Mysteries. The four Hebrew letters stand for the Divine name – YHVH – Yahweh or Jehovah. The letters TORA stand for the first Five Books of Moses, which contain the Hebraic Laws of righteous living. When the letters are reversed, we find the name of the TARO. The Wheel of Fortune is surmounted by a sphinx holding a sword. Both the wheel and the Sphinx remind us of the temporal nature of life. They tell us that to every time there is a season, life moves in and out of a great cosmic cycle of creativity.

The Wheel of Fortune refers to the fact that things tend to go in cycles – there are good times, and there are bad times. When times are good, do not become complacent because things can change. When times seem bad, don’t become too discouraged. When things seem their worst, that simply suggest that things can then only get better! Furthermore, the Wheel suggests you shouldn’t simply stand still and accept what life hands you. You can take an active hand to try and remain on the upside of the Wheel. When things are down, instead of waiting and hoping for things to get better, you can work actively towards improving your situation, thereby speeding up the recovery process. Finally, the Wheel can suggest not becoming discouraged when faced by adversity – adversity is a natural part of life and should be expected to happen. The fact that bad times happen shouldn’t worry you – accept them as natural and not necessarily indicative of problems. Instead, look for ways how you can face and conquer the adversity. If it cannot be addressed, then that might be taken as suggestion of a problem.

So, be prepared this week to take it as it comes and remain flexible and adaptable to change. Know that if you have done everything right, then the Universe will be on your side.

All the best,
