Wheel of Fortune

As the Sun sextiles Jupiter today it gives you a glimpse of what the Wheel of Fortune is about. We all have periods in our lives where things go and up and down along with our moods.

Usually we try to find balance or equilibrium to help us through the periods where we are not feeling so happy. It’s a good thing the Sun is sextile Jupiter today for this is indeed a fortuitous aspect of these two planets.

The Sun standing for you and your sense of “self” and Jupiter as the planet of expansion and luck allowing you to push forward with a sense of adventure and explore what is within and around you.

As you can see from this version of the Wheel of Fortune there is an endless cycle of who you are (yourself) on the inside and what is going on around you on the outside (your environment).

The chakra system is clearly marked on the figure within this card which is shown in a meditative pose once again highlighting the need to go within and draw out what is within to balance what is around for you.

The chakra system gives indepth knowledge of how you are functioning physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually whilst the different symbols surrounding the figure display the need to delve deeper into knowledge and use all modes of learning you have to further extend yourself.

Wheel of Fortune

Today you may be looking at the ups and downs in your life and thinking about how they’ve led you to where you are today. The Wheel of Fortune card is associated with fate, destiny, “karma,” life cycles and both good and bad luck.

Sometimes we blame ourselves for the down times (assuming we’ve “brought it all on ourselves”) while viewing the up times as outside of our control.

We all experience these up and down cycles — and we all try to maximize the former while minimizing the latter. But the Wheel of Fortune tells us that both are necessary and that the good times wouldn’t be good without the frame of reference of the not-so-good times.

In traditional (Rider Waite and Golden Dawn) style versions of this card, there are more ominous connotations of those up and down times, but as this deck was designed for children, the imagery is more positive, playful and whimsical.

We see a roulette wheel in the center with four sets of lucky symbols — hearts, 4-leaf clovers, horseshoes and brass rings — and eight sets of numbers around the perimeter.

The “eight” theme is repeated there in numerical increments as well. Rounding out the imagery is a pair of lucky white rabbits at the top of the card and a pair of unlucky black cats at the bottom.

Wheel of Fortune

“That’s the way that the world goes round
You’re up one day and the next you’re down
There’s a half an inch of water and you think you’re gonna drown
That’s the way that the world goes round.” ~ John Prine

You may feel like you’re going through an entire gamut of emotions (or experiences) today. The Wheel of Fortune card speaks of ups and downs (and in betweens) experienced over a short period of time.

In this version of the card we see three whimsical mice at various stages of progress on a wheel. One is climbing his way to the top; one sits there in all his glory with sword and crown, and one holds on for dear life on his way back down. The wheel just keeps on turning — and if we’re smart we’ll remember that it always comes back up.

There are elements of karma and fate associated with this card, depending on where it shows up in a spread. When it appears in a single-card tarot draw, it refers to the inevitable cycles of change that we all experience in our daily lives.

As with any revolving surface, there’s much less motion in the center. If you find yourself sliding down (physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually) today, remind yourself that it’s only a momentary state: the key to mitigating the “down time” is to find your own center and stay there.

ARIES: The Star

This month it’s going to be all about counting your blessings. In recent months you may have been too focused on what you lack — or what you feel has been missing in your life, But the Star card speaks of putting all that aside while you focus on what you do have.

This is a very calm and peaceful version of the Star card. In it, we see a young Native American woman sitting on the banks of a river, replenishing it from the water in her vessel.

She sits with her eyes closed and her feet dangling comfortably in the water. A large white star shines above her to the right, while seven smaller stars, in the colors of the rainbow are lined up on the left.

There are elements of tolerance and acceptance here too. The gentle imagery of the young woman in Native garb coupled with the rainbow stars act as symbolic reminders that the world is full of different kinds of people and all of them belong here. Even the act of pouring water into the stream reminds us of how important it is to “give back.”

As the New Year begins, think about resolutions you made last year that you didn’t end up keeping. The Star card is full of hope and inspiration but it’s not exactly well grounded. There’s a need to work in order to manifest your dreams, as they’re not about to fall into your lap.

ARIES: Wheel of Fortune

You seem to be standing on quicksand within a situation that keeps changing.

Try to gain a sense of balance for yourself within this and don’t lose any of your power by trying to follow what others are doing or not doing.

If you find yourself trying to extricate yourself from the situation which is swinging from good to bad and around in circles take a look at the 4 figures trying to balance at the bottom of the card.

What looks like strength is actually a bit precarious when you look closely and see they are all looking and/or facing in different directions.

Each of these directions gives a different view of what you are facing.

Each of these directions gives you a different answer to what you should do next.

And each of these directions only shows you a glimpse of the whole situation.

Stay still and wait for things to settle down so you are not being thrown off your balance.

ARIES: The Moon

This month you may feel like you’re navigating through murky waters.

The Moon card has a lot to do with that which is hidden, beneath the surface, unconscious or undiscovered.

There is a strong emotional element inherent in this card. And while emotions are not something easily digested by Aries — particularly the “darker” emotions, such as fear, anxiety and insecurity — it’s necessary to explore them if you’re going to resolve the issues that have been hounding you.

But don’t let your imagination run away with you: there’s also some danger of reading too much into things, making mountains out of mole hills or even becoming suspicious or paranoid.

Use this time to get in touch with your emotions and to resolve whatever fears and uncertainties you have that have been holding you back.
