The Wheel of Fortune brings change…
Today I pulled the Wheel of Fortune as a daily reflection card. A lens through which to connect or relate or make the most of or enhance…. my day. My first thought on seeing it was action. JUMP IN! The way I read the Wheel of Fortune is as powerful moment when we can change our fortune for the better…..by jumping into life….by taking action, any action (if you havent got a good idea which direction to take) to demonstrate your desire to respond to life and turn the wheel, especially if you are feel slightly stuck in a rut. Which I am. Of course your good fortune is about to come your way of its own accord, but you will notice as a tarot reader I tend toward the idea that our engagement is key.
The Card of Change. Jump in to activate a new cycle of fortune.
So on alert for the opportunity for change, I contemplate how I might activate my day and turn the wheel to set a new cycle in motion…..or get stuck in this one?! OMG
Slowly the day turned from dull and grey, as the sun tried her best to pierce the cloud….by 11am definite brightening, by 1 p.m. sun sun sun. Low tide was at 11 so headed out for a walk, bumping into a friend on the high street who asked me to take her dog for a walk! Maudie, a black lab, I jumped at the opportunity. And Maudie didn’t look back. She literally bounded down the high street, tail whirling round and round to the beach and off we went. It wasn’t long before she dropped a pathetically small stick at my feet, but I got the hint and threw it and off we went. Oh the fun of watching a dog so joyfully charging after a stick, skidding in the sand, bounding into the sea, and hilariously observing Maudie’s cleve technique of trying to pick up the stick without getting sand in her mouth!
I was also curious so see whether other efforts to affect change might occur……three texts had been issued to see if anyone was around to go and see the ‘Importance of Being Earnest’ in Newport…..all said no.
For a change…I did walk to the shop in Nettlestone (which I have never done) and did a circle via the allotments (which I have never done) round to the Duver in the wonderful golden late afternoon light as the sun was slowly setting and walked on the old beach outside the boat house that Trumpet and I used to walk and play two summers ago. I actually felt a lump in my throat and considered whether it also connects to a longing I have now for the companionship of a dog. Is this the Wheel of Fortune I need to activate?
I also got the strong desire to write to Wendy whose husband died so suddenly, who rented the boat house to us, and might again this July? Wheel of fortune?
Before going to sleep I decided to listen to my astrology chart for the first time, since the reading, last year in May I think, which talked of Trumpet and the influence of small dogs in my chart. Coincidence. Wheel of fortune?
Either way I think this card says to me, if you want CHANGE you need to take action. I do feel receiving it speaks of a rising energy, that change is afoot, that perhaps we are ready to start a new cycle. When it comes up in a tarot reading we are reminded life goes in cycles, good and ‘bad, that’s just the way life is. Today’s dazzling sunshine was definitely a wonderful ‘change’.
Do come and have a tarot reading with me in Battersea or online, it would be lovely to meet you.
