THE WHEEL

There are twenty- two Major Arcana in the tarot deck. Each of the Major Arcana, starting with the Fool and The World, tells us about the different stages of a journey. On a personal level, they tell us about your journey through a relationship or a job, etc. and in a broader sense they tell us about the journey of life itself.

The thirteenth card in the Major Arcana--The Wheel of Fortune--is fascinating and full of symbolism because it points to a time when fate steps in and takes your hand when the Wheel of Fortune shows up in a reading. I Know when my client has reached a pivotal point in a situation or in life in general. For good or for bad, the Wheel turns sometimes in ways that seem mysterious, and steers you one way or the other. New options become available and new steps are needed to move you forward or backward or maybe even to turn you inside out.

Currently, The Wheel of Fortune is very present in your life, influencing you on a grand scale and down to the smaller details of day-to-day existence. There is an enormous influx of energy that is disrupting the patterns you are accustomed to, collapsing some things that need to go, revealing truths, waking you up and breaking you down.

Because I deal with a lot of clients all over the world, I can see this pattern at work, along with the challenges it presents. "Survival Mode" is where most of you are right now, with all the earth stuff that has been going on. The way it manifests--whether it's financial or in relationships, etc.--may be looked at in an individual life, or locally, nationally, globally and even on a cosmic scale. In a way, it's all the same.


Many point to 2012 as the destination. I don't feel that way at all. To me, 2012 is a tipping point or maybe you could say it's the pivotal point that exists in the Wheel of Fortune. The enormous influences we have been feeling in recent years and the changes they have brought about..there is no turning back. You can see the old life only in the rearview mirror because it isn't out front of you anymore. That has been replaced by a new pattern, new potential, new options. The Wheel sure has been turning as time has been speeding up. Haven't you had the feelings that you have been hit with so much and life is on an express lane? Some of you have a glimpse of this and for others it is still to come. This shall be an ongoing process, not a single moment that is frozen in time, and each of you moves through it at a different rate.

Between March and into summer, it will be difficult for some of you to sort out what's real and what's ideal. You may feel like escaping into a different reality because of too much mental activity and abstract thoughts going on in your head. Do your best not to get angry and undisciplined behavior. Relationships of all kinds will feel either very good or very bad and it will seem as though the "middle ground" doesn't exist anymore. Don't worry if this doesn't make sense right now...Just remember it when the feelings begin to rise to the surface. You guys have been pretty complacent going about your old ways of operating. As life becomes more challenging, you sit and pray for deliverance or maybe it's Santa Claus or the tooth fairy you're hoping for. Faith and trust are definitely called for but not in the things outside of yourself. In this case, The Wheel turns you inward and it is only from here that the new pattern and potential can be realized.

*Some biblical thought, attributed to Ezekiel:

"The wheels of activity are not meant to spin outside of My presence. My presence abides within the wheels of activity. It is only when My spirit lifts and you remain in your activity that the wheels spin out of control and produce nothing. I am the cog that is to spin your wheels. I am the wheel within the wheel. My spirit lifts, the wheels must lift with Me. Even your doings must be in My presence, and not just your times of waiting on Me."

(Thank you Barbara Bowen for finding this for me)
