# WHEEL OF FORTUNE At the center of the card sits a wheel that holds the words “TARO” (“tarot” if you keep spinning the wheel), “ROTA” (meaning wheel), or “TORA” (referring to the Torah, the first part of the Hebrew Bible), all depending on which way you read it. The wheel itself is orange, energetic, and resembles the sun, which gives life. Within the wheel are symbols representing the four elements, as well as Hebrew letters that spell YHVH, meaning “God.” In the corners are four figures representing the four fixed signs of the zodiac, each holding the Torah, representing wisdom. Around the wheel float a snake, Greek god of chaos Typhon, and Anubis, Egyptian god of the underworld— symbols of death and rebirth. Atop the wheel sits a sphinx, representing knowledge, who holds a sharp sword of judgment. A part of the wheel, they are forever rotating, suggesting that everything in life is cyclical. ## 키워드 **정방향 (Upright):** Luck, life cycles, fate, destiny, fortune, change, opportunity, new beginnings **역방향 (Reversed):** Bad luck, lack of control, unwelcome changes or resistance to change, delays, setbacks, chaos, repeating mistakes, breaking cycles, disruption ## BEGINNINGS ### 정방향 (Upright) The Wheel of Fortune represents a turning point in your life.
