22 Keys to Healing - The Wheel of Fortune

The Wheel of Fortune


The Chakra correspondence for the Wheel of Fortune is the Throat Chakra


According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. ~ Jerry Seinfeld



Astrologically, The Wheel of Fortune corresponds to Jupiter, King of Gods. He is the magnanimous and benevolent ruler who prompts us to take action when an opportunity comes our way. He brings good fortune but also causes us to go to extremes and to overindulge.

The trick is to always find the centre point when the Wheel shows up in a reading. The wheel will never stop turning and whether it's about to turn up or down, being centred at the hub is always preferable to clinging to the rim or one of the spokes.

Timing is usually an issue when the Wheel shows up. However, unless we are centred and focused,  our timing is likely to be off and the opportunity will be gone... forever.

So what about the connection with the Throat chakra?

The Wheel is all about taking risks and very little feels riskier to most of us than expressing our truth.

The lesson to centre comes in handy here. When we are centred we become the Observer and are able to detach from our habit to compare ourselves to others as well as the need to be right. Everything just is and everything is OK. In this space we realise that we risk nothing by being true to ourselves and in this space we own our own divinity.

A person described by the Wheel is charismatic, confident and creative. They speak their truth and in doing so, they inspire others to do the same. An example of such a person among the Court Cards would be the King of Wands (Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter). On the other hand, the King of Wands is also known to occasionally suffer from foot-in-mouth disease.

Jupiter is also the old ruler of the deeply intuitive Water sing Pisces. Here, the timing of when to speak and when to keep silent is entirely ruled by intuition. On the downside, Pisces may be overly concerned with what everyone else is thinking and feeling as they act as psychic sponges. The overindulgence aspect of Jupiter is seen in Pisces in the form of a tendency toward addictions.
