Symbols in the picture

1. 1
   Great Wheel of Fortune

   At the center of the image stands a large wheel engraved with stars and symbols. This wheel, turning without pause, symbolizes the cycle of destiny in which rises and falls alternate. It conveys that your present circumstances are not eternal: be humble in good times and hold on to hope in difficult ones.

2. 2
   Star Within the Wheel

   At the wheel’s center rests a golden star extending in eight directions. It symbolizes the central axis and unwavering principle running through every change. It shows that although the outside turns without rest, an unchanging order exists at the very center.

3. 3
   Ring of the Twelve Zodiac Signs

   Around the center, the twelve zodiac symbols are engraved in a circle. It signifies that destiny moves within the rhythm of the universe, like the great clock of the heavens turning. It symbolizes that your personal affairs are also intertwined with the flow of a greater time.

4. 4
   Crown and Castle Emblems

   Images such as crowns, castles, swords, and laurel wreaths are divided among the wheel’s sections. They signify that glory and downfall, victory and trial, rest together on the same wheel. They symbolize the fairness of destiny, in which no section remains forever on top.

5. 5
   Rabbit Touching the Wheel

   A white rabbit wearing a star-patterned cloak touches the wheel. It represents us standing before the flow of destiny, symbolizing an attitude of watching how to ride the current rather than trying to force the wheel to stop. Those who read the moment seize the opportunity.

6. 6
   Swirling Golden Wind

   A sparkling golden vortex circles around the wheel. It symbolizes the energy of fortune and change working invisibly. It signifies that an unseen current is moving, breathing a new phase into your life now.

   Three Beings Guarding the Wheel

   A sphinx sits atop the wheel, Anubis holding an ankh staff is on the right, and a snake slides downward on the left. The sphinx signifies wisdom that steadfastly guards the center, Anubis the ascending power that rises again, and the snake the descending power that moves downward. They symbolize that ascent and descent are always together upon one wheel.

   Four Creatures at the Four Corners

   At the card’s four corners, an angel holding a book, an eagle, a winged ox, and a lion sit upon clouds. These beings guarding the four directions of heaven signify four unchanging pillars, symbolizing that fundamental foundations remain steady no matter how much the wheel turns. When you stand upon that steadfastness, change becomes a current rather than something to fear.
