There are moments in life when everything shifts—suddenly, without warning. A job ends, a relationship changes, an opportunity appears. These are the moments when the Wheel of Fortune spins through your Tarot reading. It asks you not to panic, but to pause. Not to resist, but to realign.
The Wheel is a symbol of fate, fortune, and change. It reminds us that nothing is static. Life moves in cycles, and we’re all riding the wheel—sometimes on top, sometimes below, always in motion.
Problem: Struggling to Accept Life’s Shifts
Let’s be honest—change can be terrifying. When fate steps in, we often freeze. We cling to routines, relationships, or old beliefs, hoping things will go back to how they were. But trying to control the uncontrollable only creates more stress and disappointment.
Agitate: What Happens When We Resist Fate?
Resisting change leads to emotional stagnation. It’s like holding your breath and expecting life to wait for you. Whether it’s fear of the unknown or frustration with unpredictable events, we can fall into patterns of blame, victimhood, or paralysis.
You might find yourself thinking, “Why does this always happen to me?” or “If only I’d done something differently.” But the Wheel doesn’t punish—it teaches. It brings patterns to light so we can evolve.
Solution: Align with the Wheel and Shape Your Fate
The Wheel of Fortune invites you to dance with change, not fight it. Drawing this card is your cue to release the illusion of control and trust in the greater rhythm of your life.
This card is deeply connected to the Jungian Trickster archetype—the playful force that shakes things up so you can grow. Trickster energy doesn’t ask permission. It arrives, flips the script, and challenges you to adapt. But within that chaos is liberation—a chance to break free of what no longer serves you.
The Therapeutic Take: From Rigidity to Resilience
Therapeutically, the Wheel asks us to examine our relationship with fate. Do you trust the process of life? Or are you gripping the past so tightly you can’t feel the present moment?
Common themes when the Wheel appears include:
- Fear of change or being out of control
- Difficulty letting go of past versions of yourself
- Blaming external forces instead of recognising cycles
To move forward, you may need to gently challenge your own resistance. The inner child within you may be asking, “Can I trust that I’ll be safe even when things shift?”—and the answer is yes. Yes, you can.
Coping Strategies: When Fate Feels Fierce
When the Wheel turns in your life, try these healing tools:
- Journalling Prompt: What is this change teaching me about trust and timing?
- Inner Child Dialogue: Offer reassurance to the younger you who fears unpredictability. Remind them that not all surprises are bad.
- Daily Practice: Stand with your feet flat on the ground. Close your eyes. Imagine a golden wheel turning gently behind your heart, always moving you forward, even when you can’t see how.
This small visualisation can help soothe anxiety and bring clarity in uncertain times.
Fate Isn’t Fixed—It’s Fluid
The beauty of the Wheel of Fortune is that it doesn’t lock you into a single outcome. Fate isn’t a rigid blueprint—it’s a living force that responds to your choices, energy, and awareness.
When you accept the Wheel’s message, you begin to co-create with it. You stop reacting and start responding. You take back your power—not by controlling events, but by choosing how to meet them.
