Wheel refers to Fate gods/goddesses, but card is more about cycles. Wheel
in various cultures represents solar or life processes, Jung saw
all circular objects as related to the mandala, or cosmic center
“cryptograms of the state of the self.” Balance between action and reaction;
change in circumstances; “Expect the unexpected;” Personal patterns and
cycles. Opportunities resulting from past decisions. Pollack: change in person's life with no
clear understanding of cause, and likely person is not responsible. Challenge is to see
it as the opportunity, value, and adapt. Ken James: One of two “cycle cards,” second being the last card,
The World. There is movement. But “suffer and
rejoice in cyclic manner.”
