My Favourite Wheel of Fortune

Where are you on the Wheel of Fortune? Are you on the way up, sitting at the top or on the way down. Worst of all, are you right at the bottom. Or is that the worst place? Maybe because the only way is up, this is the best place to be. This card tells our Fool to deal with the ups and downs of life and whatever fate throws at us with grace and positivity.

5. Anna. K Tarot

The Wheel of Fortune is often noted as the least favourite card that people have in a Tarot deck. So it's a bit strange that a deck that I don't favour, the Anna K, has one of my favourite Wheel of Fortune cards. It shows the stages of the wheel so clearly while also showing the influence of the wisdom of age. 

4. The Bohemian Gothic Tarot

This deck shows a Tarot reader reflecting the common misperception that a reading will show you your fate and that you have no influence over it. However, many believe this card reveals information about potential, enabling you to choose to work with the knowledge while at the same time being aware that not everything in life can be fully controlled.   

3. Way of the Panda

A panda with a lolly, a fun-fair big wheel and the fun and playful side of this card. Learn how to enjoy the ride while you can with a panda called Philip keeping you company! The beautiful pastel colours reflect the different fates awaiting you both. Doesn't he look happy? 

2. Dreamkeeper's Tarot

This card shows the story of the Fates. In Greek mythology the Moirai preside over  all, Gods and humanity. They are the daughters of the Goddess of Night and each plays a role in predetermining events. Clotho spins the thread of life over the present. Lachesis measures the length of each thread and therefore presides over the future. Atropos cuts the thread of the past. Luck, karma, destiny and fate bring an unexpected twist but somehow they follow a cohesive pattern. 

1. The Botan Tarot

The rainbow colours, the stages of the moon, the tattooed hand and even the perfect mushroom colour nails, this image really stood out for me as my favourite Wheel of Fortune. You can delve into the symbolism of the Dharma wheel or the snake or you can choose the message that first comes to you when you see this striking image. Luck will be on your side.
