The Wheel of Fortune

Sometimes things happen in a relationship that seem to come from no where, or just due to bad chance. When this card appears in a love reading, it is telling you not to let the overall situation be too determined by these random occurrences. Focus on the things that actually matter, that you will remember in a year, or that will that have a lasting impact on the relationship, instead of things that might seem urgent now but do not actually reflect the reality of the relationship. It can also mean that someone is about to get what they deserve.

In this context, the Wheel of Fortune often means a reversal of fate; if things have been going well then there may be trouble ahead, but if you have been struggling, then that hard work might be about to pay off. But either way, this card is a reminder that this new reality will not last forever, as there will always be another turning of the wheel. The goal is to build something that can last through the ups and downs, so ask yourself what you can take control, and what you must leave up to chance.

Each day brings the possibility for chance and fate to intertwine. This card is encouraging you to be open to these small moments, as they can often pass us by without even being seen. The more we notice them, the more we can identify opportunities or avoid traps; while we cannot control everything and in any situation there is an element of randomness, this card is a reminder that you can still exercise control and try to bend things your way. And if it doesn’t work out that way, that doesn’t mean you failed; it just means you’ll need to try again.
