Is the Wheel of Fortune a good card? Well. Like all cards in the Tarot, it depends on the context!
The Wheel generally means movement, but it doesn’t mean that something just HAPPEN.
All wheels need an impetus to move—be it from gas, water, or a strong push. In your Tarot reading, the Wheel indicates change coming into your sphere, but it’s a change you’ll need to either support or create. If the Wheel is Reversed, it can mean that things are stuck and either in need of new energy, or a call to change directions all together.

Was The Wheel your card of the day?
Or did it fly out of your deck? Or served as the final card in your spread…but you’re not sure what it means? Try this spread to help you figure it out:
The Code:
1.) The situation the Wheel refers to
2.) Where the situation is going (for better or worse!)
3.) The obstacles preventing the Wheel from movement (for better or worse!)
4.) The energy the Wheel needs
5.) Best use of The Wheel’s energy
The Reading In Action:
A hypothetical querent got The Wheel as their card of the day. Here’s what the reading says:
1.) The situation the Wheel refers to: 8 of Swords
The 8 of Swords indicates feeling confined and restricted, often through thoughts or habits. It’s possible that some decision paralysis is making it difficult for the querent to impart positive changes into their life.
2.) Where the situation is going (for better or worse!): 9 of Pentacles Reversed
9 of Pentacles, when upright, indicates wealth and comfort. When Reversed, it can mean loss or limited means. The Wheel card seems to be telling the querent that their situation is about to get tougher if they don’t make some changes.
3.) The obstacles preventing the Wheel from movement (for better or worse!): 7 of Pentacles Reversed
7 of Pentacles indicates growth, but through patience. When Reversed, it can indicate impatience. This likely means that the querent may be dealing with some impatience which will make everything more difficult for them!
4.) The energy the Wheel needs: 10 of Pentacles
10 of Pentacles indicates wealth, but also a plan. The querent would do well to re-work their plan and think expansion long-term.
5.) Best use of The Wheel’s energy: Queen of Wands Reversed.
When upright, the Queen of Wands indicates energy and drive. When Reversed, it can mean rest. The restrictions that the querent may be facing could be for their own good at this time. A period of rest and reflection may help them design the plans they ultimately want to expand upon.
