What's on the card

A large wheel marked with the letters TARO, Hebrew letters and alchemical symbols turns in the clouds. A sphinx with a sword sits on top, a snake slides down the left side and a red jackal-headed figure rises on the right, while four winged creatures with books, an angel, an eagle, a lion and a bull, fill the corners.

Wheel of Fortune upright

The Wheel of Fortune is about cycles and turns that no single person controls. The card says the situation has started moving, and right now that movement is in your favor. Turns arrive through coincidences, unexpected calls, doors that suddenly open. If an old acquaintance suddenly offers you work or a trip, hear the whole offer out before turning it down out of habit.

Wheel of Fortune reversed

The reversed Wheel points to a turn you don't welcome: plans shift and there's little you can do about it. The cycle keeps turning all the same. Instead of fighting circumstances, notice what keeps repeating and change your part of the pattern.

Wheel of Fortune in love and relationships

In love, the Wheel of Fortune brings change: a new stage, a move, an unexpected meeting. The relationship is shifting, and moving with it is easier than holding on to how things were. If you're single, the card points to a chance meeting, so go places you don't usually go.

Wheel of Fortune in career and money

At work, the Wheel of Fortune speaks of changes in the company, the market or your tasks. People leave, new projects appear, rules change. Keep your resume and portfolio up to date so you can respond quickly when an interesting offer comes along.

Wheel of Fortune: yes or no

Yes Circumstances are turning your way. Send the application or the offer while things are moving.

Reversed. No Not now: the timing is off, and that isn't up to you. Use the pause to prepare and ask again in a couple of weeks.

Ask a yes or no question

Wheel of Fortune as your card of the day

Things are shifting, and today you can catch a lucky turn. Say yes to an unexpected offer if it doesn't ask for a big stake, and watch for coincidences.

Reversed. Plans keep slipping because of things you don't control. It also gets clearer what is in your hands. Pick one task today you definitely influence and see it through.

A question for the evening: Which turn of the day surprised me, and where did it lead?
