The cycles of existence
Follow Fortune, regardless of where it leads …
The card of good luck.
The wheel represents the rhythm of the universal cycles. This card is the symbol for life, existence: the sums of cycles that make life what it is. Three figures are attached to the wheel: one on the top, one going up, and the third one going down.
Is it possible to escape the pendulum of life?
The CYCLE OF Birth-Growth-Maturity-Decadence-Death applies to the whole universe. Nothing escapes it. Is there a way for man not to suffer the effects of the pendulum that returns?
The wheel turns. The figures are attached to it and turn without having any influence on it. No fall is deeper than that of those who are at the top. Everything moves the universe. Progress goes to those who deserve it – the intelligence of the individual is not enough. So, our past actions determine how much fate will sustain our current efforts. The pendulum moves from negative to positive: if you are at a favourable time, it does not mean that another one that represents the price to be paid will follow. No, the price has already been paid. “Pain”, the negative phase, can be avoided by that process that occultists call “neutralisation”. You must be in the centre of the wheel to overcome phenomenal cycles.
In this sense, as nothing remains still, you should grasp the opportunities that are given to you now. Bear in mind that there is a time to act and a time to withdraw.
Each negative moment of the existence has a way out; sometimes you just have to wait for the right time to act. This card announces a positive sudden change which you don’t have to miss. Success needs now that you are quick minded, energetic and use the experience you have accumulated so far. Luck is the result of your actions and good luck is earned: if you deserve it, you will move forward.
Heart
In your near future there is an important encounter and if you are single there is a new love in the horizon.
Work
The time has come for a renewal. The circumstances are favourable to frantic efforts and challenges but very rich in palatable fruits: successes, career advancement, promotion, expansion of enterprises, increase in productive activity. Hard work will be adequately rewarded. Agriculture.
Money
With the favour of luck, gains and winnings are sudden and unexpected.
Body
Full recovery of vitality, overcoming the disease, ability to self-heal, good use of one’s energies.
People
A person who suddenly came to the aid of the consultant, a benefactor, an elderly friend, nice and optimistic.
On the negative side, this is a warning that nothing can be kept for ever. If your ascension was quick and obtained with dubious means, the fall may be as quick. There is some obstacle in the realisation of a project. A blockage, a momentary delay, caused also by the consultant attitude, which is too passive, hesitant, and resisting the change.
“The wheel of fortune is a card with a multitude of interpretations. It indicates the point the subject has currently reached in his or her life if it is present at the beginning of the drawing, it evokes the closing of a past cycle and the beginning of a new one. In a reading it can held a work that has squarely come to completion and thus represent the turning of a page, a complete cycle. But often, coming at the middle or at the end of a draw, it indicates a block that needs to be overcome.
Because the word fortune appears in this card, it represents financial profit in folk notions. It sometimes refers to a centre of interest or system that is structured upon a circular shape: the wheel of karma, astrology, and even the big wheel of the lottery. So finally, the wheel of fortune invite reflection upon inevitable alternation of ascents and falls, of prosperity and austerity, of joy and sorrow.” A.J.
