Wheel of Fortune Tarot Card

The Wheel of Fortune tarot card is often viewed as a sign of luck, that persnickety influence that can drastically change one's fortune.

Miss L knows that it is more than possible to create her own luck. She also understands that any action she takes can be much more effective if it has the right energy behind it.

Where The Magician tarot card was about personal influence, The Wheel of Fortune tarot card references a more divine influence.

The Wheel of Fortune speaks of timing and preparedness combined. You can have success with one, or the other, but it won't compare to the outcome of both.

What does that mean?

It's the same sort of thing with luck. It has to be taken within a specific range for maximum results.

That's where preparedness comes into play.

After all, how can you take advantage of a good situation if you're not ready?

If you feel like you're stuck in a place where nothing is working right, it is twice as important to focus on getting ready. Just like the Wheel shows, luck of all kinds is cyclical, and an upturn will always follow a low point.

That being said, don't dread the times where you're not riding the top of the Wheel. A low point doesn't necessarily mean bad luck - it might be more of a static situation.

That is the time to improve what you have. It's not the time to take risks unless you're prepared that you likely won't get the results you're eager for.

Ask yourself:

• Can you recognize a good opportunity in the present or is it often in retrospect?

• What is your biggest obstacle to accepting good luck when it occurs? Did you ever have an experience where you took a risk that didn't pay off? Looking at that situation, would you say now that it felt lucky or unlucky?

• If you had to pick one new venture that you feel needs a boost of luck, what would it be? On your end, have you done all the footwork and research necessary to run with Lady Luck when she appears?

The Wheel of Fortune tarot card connects to the sense of luck that is smoothly turning through every life. Get prepared to take what is offered to your best advantage.
