Wheel of Fortune
Upright
Cycles, change, and turning points outside full personal control. The Wheel favors accepting that fortune moves — what's difficult now will shift, same as what's easy now eventually will too.
Reversed
Reversed, this card can point to resisting necessary change, or a cycle of bad luck that feels like it won't break — though the wheel always does turn.
