The Wheel of Fortune Month

Fire

This month your card is the Wheel of Fortune. Something is turning. It may be visible or it may still be happening below the surface, but the motion is real and the month will feel different at the end than it does now. The thing to watch: the Wheel month can produce a passivity that looks like acceptance, a waiting that calls itself trust. Notice the small places you can actually move and move in them. The turning isn't only something that happens to you.

The card behind the month

Your month card is Wheel of Fortune, one of the twenty-two Majors. Here’s what it means at full length.

The Wheel of Fortune is the part of you that meets change you didn't choose. It is cycles, timing, the turning that lifts and drops without asking permission. It is the practice of trusting motion you can't control.
