CARD OF THE WEEKEND: April 9-10, 2022

 Wheel of Fortune

Rider-Waite Tarot

by Pamela Colman Smith

 

April 9-10, 2022: Elizabeth Josephine Gill's Wheel of Fortune brings us not the four winged beings of biblical scripture--lion, ox, man, and eagle, as we would find in many conventional Tarot decks--but, instead, Tarot's four primal elements. Air/Swords, Water/Cups, Earth/Pentacles, and Fire/Wands unite to manifest and empower all dimensions of reality. Gill's wheel bears the colors of the rainbow--again, equal in length and space and firmly conjoined.

The Wheel of Fortune, as a Major Arcana card, can indicate pulling oneself together or, perhaps, pulling a larger system together in a profound, transformative, invincible way.

Ask yourself, then, what needs this level of unification, strengthening, and/or massive change?

What elements within yourself--or outside of you--require shoring up and/or reconnection to other elements so that the whole entity integrates, heals, and flourishes?

Moving away from an old idea of Wheel of Fortune indicating that some folks or things are up while others are down, can we look at this archetype in a way that encourages understanding of the necessary role each distinct part plays in the integrity and success of the whole?

With two mysterious eyes--one floating above the wheel and one at its very center, perhaps Gill is hinting at the importance of a unifying perception of self, life, and reality.

Take some time to meditate on all of this, and have an exhilarating weekend!
