- 10
The Wheel of Fortune is number 10: the cycles of life, destiny, and the changes that arrive whether you want them or not. It turns, and with it circumstances rise and fall. Upright it usually brings a lucky turn; its underlying message is that "this too shall pass."

The Wheel of Fortune stands for good luck, karma, turning points, and the significant changes on the way. It's a quick, dynamic card: events pick up speed and life throws surprising situations your way, most of them positive and necessary shifts. Remember that much of this rests with destiny and isn't entirely in your hands, though your attitude counts too. At the peak and in the pit alike, everything is cyclical: give thanks when the wheel is on your side, and trust that after the dark, the sun always rises again.
- Love
- Positive changes. For couples, renewed passion and a fresh way of seeing life together. If you're single, people appear who change your life in intense ways. In conflicts, everything needs renegotiating and clear conversation.
- Work
- A time of rethinking and changes on the horizon, even ones you didn't go looking for. A good moment to put your ideas forward. You may decide to leave a job that no longer fulfills you; if you trust your dream, the obstacles will sort themselves out.
- Money
- A good omen for anyone who's had it rough: circumstances tend to improve. If you were riding a wave of prosperity, set some savings aside in case income dips a little. A ripe moment for lucky breaks and windfalls.
- Health
- Excellent, thanks to its movement and momentum: plenty of energy and a swift recovery. Any resistance to change is pointless; if you've been advised to diet, rest, or quit smoking, do it, the impact will be very positive.
- Spirituality
- Recognize that you almost always play some part in what happens to you. Own your share of responsibility and keep moving forward. And when things simply happen, reach out: the support you need is always within reach.
The Wheel of Fortune reversed is fairly negative: it stands for stretches of bad luck, adverse outside forces, and the feeling of being beyond your own control. You aren't cursed, but you'll have to find an inner way to handle what you're being dealt. It still points to change, though a milder version, and can signal strong resistance on your part. Nothing is in your favor right now, but everything runs in cycles and this will pass. Ask yourself whether you contributed to the situation and, if there's something you can do, do it; if not, don't fall into despair.
- Love
- A lot of tangled thoughts and feelings, with possible outsiders damaging the relationship. The changes are negative, and without joint effort it'll be hard. Decide what you want; communication and honesty are the keys.
- Work
- Surprising changes arrive, probably not good ones if the Wheel stands alone. This isn't the best moment for you to go chasing change yourself. Weigh your own responsibility before blaming everything else; it's all temporary.
- Money
- Luck isn't on your side. Put the brakes on spending, don't take on debt, don't buy on installments, and don't ask for loans. There's a risk of losses: better to hold off on any financial moves and wait for the wheel to turn.
- Health
- Possible relapses. Look after your digestive system, so tied to stress, which may act up on you. Rest, exercise in moderation, clear your head out in nature, and hold off on surgery for now.
- Spirituality
- Don't sit and wallow in the feeling of having been cheated; life isn't fair, but it's in constant motion. Own your share of responsibility, keep your spirits up, and make the change the card is asking of you.
