Tarot, the Wheel of Fortune. The unpronounceable name of God, YHVH, is inscribed on the face of the Wheel on the Wheel of Fortune card. A large wheel surrounds three figures on its outer edges. Upon entering the outer circle, a snake representing Typhon (the God of Volcanic forces and Winds) descends from the left. Snakes represent the life force descending into the material world, while Anubis, the Egyptian God of the Dead, welcomes souls into the underworld on the right. Knowledge and strength are symbolized by the Sphinx, which sits atop the Wheel.
Each of the four-winged creatures depicted on the Wheel of Fortune card represents a fixed Zodiac sign:
- The angel represents Aquarius.
- The eagle represents Scorpio.
- The lion represents Leo.
- The bull represents Taurus.
Each holds the Torah, symbolizing wisdom, and their wings represent stability amidst change.

Wheel Of Fortune Meaning when Reversed
If the Wheel of Fortune is upside down, your luck or fortune might suffer. There may be unexpected changes, or opposing forces may play out, leaving you helpless.

General meaning and interpretation (Reversed)
It is still possible to see change in a reversed Wheel of Fortune Tarot card, but it is likely to be a negative and unwelcome one. You may find it difficult to adjust to the changes that are about to come if you have reversed Wheel of Fortune. In other words, things were going well but suddenly fell apart. Feeling out of control and helpless when your health suddenly deteriorates can leave you feeling powerless.
Even though there may have been some outside factors, the current situation is likely a result of your decisions.
To learn from this situation, you must take responsibility for your choices and control your condition. Even though the Wheel of Fortune is in reverse, you have an excellent opportunity here for karmic lessons to help you move forward into a brighter and better future, so seize it and don’t resist change even if things seem harsh. Our lives are full of ups and downs; sometimes, we learn more from hardships than good fortunes.
Love & Relationships The Wheel of Fortune in Reverse
In a love relationship, it can symbolize stagnancy or a loss of spark in the connection. Even though all relationships have ups and downs, don’t make a knee-jerk decision to end the relationship. If you are experiencing a slump in your partnership, try to assess the situation and figure out what works best for you.
There may be a transition between phases in your relationship, and you may be experiencing a slump in between these phases.
Regardless of what happens, this time of upheaval will pass. In the past, mistakes may have been made that can cause problems in the present.
You must look at your choices and behavior if you have been unlucky with love or are single.
Have you lost opportunities for love? Learn from your mistakes and you will have another chance. You can change your luck by applying your karmic lessons to your future. You choose the tasks you want to learn in this life. The reversed Wheel of Fortune Tarot card represents setbacks or delays, whether single or in a relationship. Keep an open mind; there’s only one way up.
The Reversed Money & Career Card
As a career card, the Wheel of Fortune reversed means a stagnant career or a period of disruption and uncertainty in the profession. In reverse, this Major Arcana card can indicate that you will face unwelcome changes. Examine your career decisions and honestly ask yourself if they have helped you achieve what you seek. Were you able to take advantage of the opportunities presented to you? Don’t beat yourself up if you didn’t. You are only experiencing temporary setbacks at the moment.
A reversed Wheel of Fortune is not a good time to gamble or take financial risks.
Instead, learn from past mistakes and prepare for when the Wheel swings upwards again. If you feel the pinch financially, the trump card may indicate you need to save money or build yourself a safety net. When your financial situation improves, carry the lessons from this time forward.
