Description of the Card
In the blue sky hangs the Wheel of Fate, which consists of three layers, corresponding exactly to the three-tiered pipe of the High Priestess. The innermost circle contains no symbols, representing emptiness, symbolizing the creation of all things; the middle circle has four alchemical symbols, corresponding to the four elements of Western material composition, symbolizing the formation of all things; the outermost circle is engraved with the word "TAROT," symbolizing the created world. On the left side of the wheel is the evil god of Egyptian mythology — a snake, with its head pointing downward, indicating the decline in life. Meanwhile, Anubis, who carries the Wheel of Fate, represents the desire to bear fate. At the top of the Wheel of Fate is the Sphinx, said to be a symbol of wisdom, and the sword in its hand represents thinking, suggesting that facing the truth of life through reflection is the real way to achieve favorable circumstances. The four corners of the card depict a lion, an eagle, an angel, and a bull, matching the symbols in the middle circle of the Wheel of Fate, i.e., the four elements of fire, water, air, and earth.
Interpretation of the Card: The wheel in the sky keeps turning, indicating that fate also changes continuously like a wheel. As the saying goes, "Ten years on the east bank, ten years on the west bank," and "The wind and water change," suggesting that a turning point is already before you.
Upright Position
The upright Wheel of Fate continues to turn, and the ways the four animals at the corners deal with life indicate how you will deal with changes in fate. They each hold a book, representing their learning from their own perspectives about life. You are the same — in the face of changes brought by fate, you learn more than you lose. In love, you meet your destined partner, which is irreversible. When love comes, it simply comes, and it cannot be resisted.
Reversed Position
The appearance of the reversed Wheel of Fate indicates that you lack confidence or inner strength regarding current changes, causing you to give up something that is actually worth investing in. It can also describe a situation where difficulties arise, or when sincere help is needed. Right now, you desperately want to escape from this situation. You need to carefully listen to your inner voice rather than irrational fear, for change only brings temporary challenges. In love, you gave up on saving the relationship, and you don't want to waste any more time on this relationship anymore.
Warnings from the Wheel of Fate to the Star
Take some time to understand your inner needs and think deeply about what you truly need, rather than what you might want.
