Arcanum X. The Wheel of Fortune (The Wheel)

The Hermit prompts into motion the Wheel of Fortune, as inner guidance reveals an open door to the inner world past the astral gate. We see how we had become the Fool yet again, as the sage raises our awareness to the existence of a higher plane. The Wheel of Fortune foreshadows the acting forces that turn the wheel of the will of the divine. Thus all forces beyond this transition—once set into motion—reign in a world beyond our control. In transitioning to ten, the second digit elevates us to the high road, where the cycle resets at an even greater height. Yet the fleeting forces of fortune and catastrophe lie hidden in the eternal motion of future potentiality. Thus, the future is balanced between the possibility of encounters with both good (order) and evil (chaos), as each lies dormant in the ambient and inherent passage of Time. These forces will arise and establish their stay in temporary states of circumstance and change. But to be thus changed by the existence of their wait seals one’s advancement in a fleeting state. The skill at which one perceives and adapts reestablishes equilibrium under the guidance of a bold will and balanced mind (the Sphinx, conscious perfection or equilibrium between the influences of all four elements).

You may be on the verge of a breakthrough or on the brink of sudden catastrophe—brace yourself as the tables turn. Despite your inability to forsee sudden change, you still control the way in which you choose to adapt to this change. A sudden gift of fortune arrives with no omen, and the appearance of benefic possibilities lies in the will of a steadfast mind. You must see the good in what is bad, the bad in what is good, and align yourself with the change you wish to create. Behold as the stream of your thoughts invites like vibrations into that which you’ve willed into motion.
