Arcana X — Wheel of Fortune

What is Arcana X — Wheel of Fortune?

The Wheel of Fortune is the tenth Major Arcana, symbolizing change, cyclicality, synchronicity, and mutable fate. It serves as a reminder that life flows in cycles — after highs come lows, and after darkness — light. In the Destiny Matrix, the energy of the Wheel of Fortune points to key life turns, pivotal moments, and lessons related to accepting change.

Symbolism of the Wheel of Fortune

A huge wheel spins in the sky surrounded by four fixed figures in the corners (bull, lion, eagle, angel — four elements, four gospels). On the wheel are three figures: the sphinx at the top (wisdom above changes), Anubis rising (evolution), and Typhon falling (involution). The Hebrew letters TARO/ROTA/TORA on the wheel indicate the cyclical nature of wisdom.

The Wheel of Fortune teaches: the only constant in life is change. Do not cling to the peak or despair at the bottom — both are temporary.
