Yes or no

The image

A great wheel turns in the clouds, carrying a sphinx at the top, a serpent descending and a jackal-headed figure rising, with the four winged creatures reading in the corners. Life moves in cycles, and the wheel is turning.

Upright meaning

In general

Things are shifting in your favour. A lucky turn, a timely opportunity or an unexpected change opens a new chapter; go with it.

In love

Fate seems to be at work. A chance meeting or a sudden positive change could transform your love life.

At work

A turning point or new opportunity is coming. Be ready to act when the timing lines up.

With money

Luck and good timing favour your finances. Still, remember that wheels turn; save some of what comes in.

Reversed meaning

In general

A run of bad luck or a change you did not choose may be weighing on you. It will pass; focus on what you can control.

In love

Repeating the same patterns is keeping you stuck. Something has to change before the cycle can turn.

At work

Setbacks or delays beyond your control are possible. Stay flexible and wait for better timing.

With money

Unexpected expenses or a downturn may arrive. Keep a buffer and avoid risky bets right now.
