Wheel of Fortune tarot card meaning

A great wheel turning in the clouds, creatures rising and falling on its rim, the four fixed signs reading quietly in the corners.

Upright: cycles, change, fate, turning points
Reversed: resistance to change, a down cycle, bad timing
Yes or no: Yes
Linked to: Jupiter · Sagittarius

Wheel of Fortune upright

The Wheel of Fortune is the turn of the cycle. Upright, it usually brings a change in your favor: a lucky break, a door opening, the season shifting. It also reminds you that nothing stays still. What's up will come down and what's down will rise. The wisdom is in moving with the wheel instead of clinging to one spoke.

Coincidences may stack up when this card appears, love. Notice them.

Wheel of Fortune reversed

Reversed, the turn feels like it's working against you, or you're fighting a change that's already happening. Down cycles pass too. Look at what you can control, let go of what you can't, and remember that this card always keeps turning.

Wheel of Fortune in love

In love, the Wheel brings fated-feeling meetings, sudden shifts and turning points: a reunion, a new chapter, a relationship moving to its next stage. Let it turn.

Wheel of Fortune at work

At work it signals a change of fortune or direction. Opportunities may come suddenly. Be ready to say yes when the timing is right.

Wheel of Fortune as feelings

As feelings, the Wheel says they feel this connection was meant to happen, and that things between you are shifting.

Is Wheel of Fortune yes or no?

Yes
