Tarot Card Explanation for the Wheel of Fortune
The wealth of symbolism and imagery of the tarot has lead to copious interpretations. Some such interpretations are easy and they make sense, while others fly in the face of common sense and even the imagery that is contained on the face of the cards. The two which come to mind immediately are the devil and the death cards, both of which are eyed with suspicion, fear and loathing by novices but understood to point to a wealth of underlying currents in the past, present and future of an individual by the occultist. With so much attention paid to these two cards, the tarot card explanation for the wheel of fortune card is sadly and misguidedly left by the wayside.
Even as it offers a more or less positive imagery, the tenth card of the Major Arcana is a lot more complex in meaning and symbolism than is often asserted. In addition, it withholds its meaning in a single card spread and instead requires the presence of modifying cards to actually bring forth its meaning. Many skilled tarot readers suggest that a single card spread that presents the seeker with a wheel of fortune card is a surefire hint that a further reading is highly advisable and at least a three card spread be employed.
As the name suggests, there is a randomness that is implied by the presence of the wheel of fortune. It may be a random event that will suddenly change life for the seeker or it may be the speed with which circumstances change for the individual. This holds true especially when the wheel of fortune is seen against the backdrop of the lovers or in conjunction with the two of cups. Another possible tarot card explanation for the wheel of fortune may be the active role that destiny is to have upon the life of a person.
This may be destiny in the form of a surprising development or of a possibility that suddenly becomes possible. The downside to the any tarot card explanation involving the wheel of fortune is the fact that there is little clue whether or not the development is positive or negative. Granted, the surrounding cards may hint at the scope and direction of the new developments, but by and large there is no guarantee. Of course, when considering that what is a seemingly bad development of a situation is consider a blessing in disguise in the future, there is a lot of wisdom in the cards' being silent on this matter.
