Wheel of Fortune Description
The Wheel of Fortune Tarot card depicts a large wheel, surrounded by three figures, with the Hebrew name of God, YHVH, and the letters TORA, suggesting connections to the Torah, TAROT, and the Latin word for wheel, ROTA. The inner wheel contains alchemical symbols for mercury, sulphur, water, and salt, symbolizing the fundamental elements of life and transformative power. The card features a descending snake, Typhon, symbolizing the descent into the material realm, and Anubis ascending on the opposite side, representing the soul’s journey to the afterlife, while the Sphinx atop the wheel embodies knowledge and strength.
The card's corners show four winged creatures, each correlating with a fixed sign of the Zodiac: Aquarius (the angel), Scorpio (the eagle), Leo (the lion), and Taurus (the bull), representing stability amid change. Each creature holds the Torah, signifying wisdom. This array of symbols on the Wheel of Fortune card illustrates the cyclical nature of fate and the constant flux of life, underscored by the enduring quest for knowledge and understanding amidst life’s inevitable transformations.
