What it means
The Wheel of Fortune turns in the sky surrounded by symbolic figures. It is the card of cycles, of destiny and of the changes we do not control. It announces a turning point, often for the better, and reminds you that nothing stays the same forever: neither the good moments nor the bad. What is up to you is to watch for opportunities and adapt when the wheel turns.
In love
An unexpected meeting or a change in the direction of the relationship. What was stuck starts to move.
At work and with money
An opportunity that appears suddenly, a change of phase, luck. Ride the tide while it is in your favour.
Do you have a question for the cards?
Choose a reader and a spread: one card, three, or the full Celtic Cross.
