The Wheel of Fortune points to changes coming soon. In most cases the changes will be for the better. You may receive a gift. What is about to happen does not depend on you — you cannot influence it; it will happen on its own. Everything that comes, including gifts, financial gains and good luck, should be received as a gift from the Universe.

The Wheel of Fortune symbolizes a person's destiny. The card points to the need to yield to fate and surrender to what is happening. It is important to understand that the current situation is no accident, for everything happens for a reason. It is written in your destiny and you cannot change it. Accept any changes with joy, gratitude and interest.

Work

The gambling industry. Risky ventures. An unexpected situation promising good profit. An unexpected meeting or phone call. An incident with unexpected consequences. Can signify a tangled situation with an unexpected outcome.

Health

An unstable condition. Something aches now and then, but it is not life-threatening. Problem areas: blood clots, intestines, eyesight (real problems appear only when the card is reversed).

Relationships

A meeting, an acquaintance — how it will develop is unknown. Rare meetings, from time to time.

Personality Type

A leader who leads others along without knowing the final destination. An adventurer, a fatalist, a gambler. Independent in opinions, ambitions and actions. Curiosity. A knack for getting into absurd situations.

Advice and Warning

Trust in luck. Pay attention to signs and coincidences. A situation where something is carrying you along.

Yes or No

“Yes.” But underneath lies some secret, some “but.”

Reversed Card Meaning

If the Wheel of Fortune falls reversed, expect troubles and an unfavorable situation. Your plan will not work out as intended, or the right moment for realizing the idea has not yet come. There is no point in starting to implement it, because on the way to the goal unexpected obstacles, enemies and problems will keep arising. Problems from the past will also make themselves known. But there is no reason to worry, because fate cannot be changed. All that remains is to calmly accept what is happening. It is important to understand that you can rely only on yourself. A general feeling of unpredictability. It can point to a passive and indecisive personality with too few opportunities to realize their inherent potential. In a business reading, it points to excessive slowness, chaos and unpredictability.

Reversed, the Wheel of Fortune means failure — the situation changing for the worse. Your wishes and hopes will meet with disappointment. A dark stretch is beginning in your life, and it must simply be endured. If you have planned some risky undertaking, the card warns that this is not the right time to carry out your plans. You must wait until the Wheel of Fortune turns your way. Without a fall there is no rise, and sometimes you have to be at the very bottom in order to reach the heights afterward.

Reversed Meaning: Work

Speaks of a lack of opportunities for expansion, but there will be no losses either. A job search drags on. If you already have a job — long-term, steady work in one place. Prolonged work on a single subject.

Reversed Meaning: Health

A normal condition for the given person. Nothing new. A stable condition (whether good or bad).

Reversed Meaning: Relationships

Everything stays as it was. Check the other cards: things will remain as they are, but if there is no relationship — there will not be one.

Reversed Meaning: Advice and Warning

Maintain the current situation — keep doing what you are doing.

Reversed Meaning: Yes or No

Depends on the circumstances: if the question concerns unexpected events or prospects, then “no.” A question about something continuing — “yes.”
