THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE“How swiftly fate can make or unmake kings.” -Nathaniel LeeThere is a lot that we can control in this life, but there is also a lot that depends on fate. This is where the Wheel of Fortune comes in! This card points to our luck changing, hopefully for the better– there is a sense of destiny here too, that we will be led through the cycles of life by the design of the universe. I’ve always loved the phrase “Man plans and God laughs.” If this card was a sound, it would be that laugh, and our job is just to roll with it and accept the gambling dice roll that is life sometimes. ::Who’s Who On This Card::1. The Fates from Greek Mythology - In Greek Mythology, the three Fates would weave, measure and cut the thread of life of each person, determining that person’s destiny, major life events and time of death. These are among the things that are not in our control and this card points to the need to accept these unexpected events as a part of living life. 2. What A Twist Skit from Robot Chicken - There was a short repeating skit in Robot Chicken that parodied M. Night Shyamalan’s movies that always ended with a twist. In the skits, this stop-animation puppet would pop up at the end and shout “What a twist!” in a happy and surprised voice. When The Wheel of Fortune pops up for you in a reading, you can be sure the story of your life is about to leave you utterly surprised at your next twist and turn. 3. Coin Flip from NFL Football - The coin flip before every football game (I think they do these at college level football games as well, maybe..) shows the spinning nature of this card. You can prepare for the game and even call the side of the coin in the air, but where it lands is totally up to the turning of fate. So much can depend on just a one little coin flipping through the air…4. The Wheel of Fortune - Ha! Well, I mean, it’s literally in the name of the show, so there’s that! Moreover, this game show all depends on the spinning of the wheel – whether you get a windfall of money or go bankrupt is left mostly to chance, so hold on and hope for something good to befall you!5. The Feather from Forrest Gump - In the opening scene of Forrest Gump, a feather is seen falling from the sky and then getting tossed into the wind to float along in the breeze. The feather is a great metaphor for the larger themes in the movie of life being full of uncontrollable events, luck taking us on a ride during our lives and the fact that we never truly know what is coming next for us over that horizon. For better or worse, we are all like that feather, just floating on the wind, swept up in the changes of our lives.6. Leaping from Quantum Leap - In Quantum Leap, Doctor Sam Beckett ‘leaps’ from life to life, time traveling through the hands of fate or God or the universe, not knowing what the next leap will be or what new adventure he’ll have to endure as he strives to put right where once went wrong. It’s this sense of not knowing what the future holds and still being propelled into it that this card points to– just hold on as destiny grabs you because luck and fate now control which way you’re headed. -- source link
