The Wheel of Fortune

the Wheel of Fortune is it tenth chart of the Tarot of Marseilles

Description & symbolism

On this wheel are reproduced:
  • ascending phase: a dog equipped with a collar, signs tender.
  • top: a Sphinx crowned, sign of achievement.
  • downward phase: a monkey symbolizing the Decline.
These three animals illustrate a cycle of evolution thus where the dominant position is difficult to maintain, top of the wheel being in unstable balance.

In Numerology, Ten equalizes a because 10 = 1 + 0 = 1. This chart thus represents well the end of a cycle and the return to the beginning of another. This return is represented explicitly in the rays of the wheel, composed of the tangle of the Roman numerals X and I .
