Wheel of Fortune: What is your Fortune Mindset?

Wheel of Fortune Tarot Card: Appreciating What You Have

What is the Wheel of Fortune tarot card about? For one thing, it is about setting intentions and manifesting these intentions. How well did we set our intentions for what we wanted? How clear were we about what we wanted? How clear were we about our hopes and desires? If we were clear on what we wanted to bring into our lives, we will know it when it arrives, we may call ourselves lucky or fortunate. If it does not seem to be arriving, we may consider ourselves unlucky, or unfortunate.

Fortune is all a mindset. It boils down to appreciating what we have. It is about not taking personally what we feel we should have but do not. It is about deciding what we would truly appreciating having and then manifesting that. It is not about focusing on what we do not have, unless noticing what we do not have focuses our attention on manifesting this. How can we instigate manifestation if we do not acknowledge what is missing from our lives? We need to see what it is that is not there so that we can go about filling the gap and getting it.

The trick here is is to not feel sorry for ourselves as we notice what is missing. We mustn’t feel as though we are inadequate because this thing has not yet shown up in our lives. We see what is missing and we manifest it without ill feelings. In this way, the Wheel of Fortune is the end result of the Magicians work. The Magician as a master of manifestation, brings into this realm what we need and what we desire, and when he does so, we consider ourselves lucky and fortunate. The Wheel of Fortune is the end result of the work of the Magician.

Wheel of Fortune: You Will Thrive

Wheel of Fortune Tarot Card: Your Own Merit

The Wheel of Fortune tarot card tells you, when you stop comparing yourself to others, you can get a picture of just how fortunate you are. Can you do that, though? Can you not look at what you have and compare it to what somebody else has? Maybe you feel good because you have more than them. Maybe you feel bad because you have less. Can you train yourself not to do that? Can you train yourself to appreciate what you have that enhances the quality of your life without concern for how others measure up?

When you examine what you have, you will likely discover there are things you would like to have but don’t. Let this stand on its own merit, not a merit based on comparison. Let the notion of fortune be a personal matter. Let it exist as it is pertinent to you. When you do this, you will thrive.

The Reversed Wheel of Fortune Tarot Card: A Matter of Perception

Fortune is a Mindset

Consider fortune to be a mindset. It is what we make it out to be. It is as we perceive it, and reflected in our appreciation of it, or lack thereof. What it may be to me may not be what it is to you. What it is to you, may not be what it is to me.

For some, having an excess of what they need- having more and more and more of something, be it money, gold, candy, friends, loved ones, whatever it is equates to having a fortune. For others having a fortune may mean simply having all they need of the various things they require without the need for more and more and more. What fortune is to you, that is what fortune is to you. What fortune is to me, that is what fortune is to me. It really is quite simple. This is the Wheel of Fortune tarot card in the upright position.

There is a different attitude about fortune when the Wheel of Fortune card is in the reversed position, however. Now, instead of feeling as though we have all we need, instead of appreciating what we have, we now focus on the lack. What is missing, or rather, what is perceived to be missing from our life? We ask, “Why isn’t my life perfect? Why am I not as happy as I should be? What isn’t there that should be there, and if it were there, would make life perfect?”

If you have a hundred dollars, maybe you wonder why you don’t have two hundred. If you have a hamburger to eat, maybe you wonder why you don’t have a steak. If you have water to drink, maybe you wonder why you don’t have orange juice. Some people live their life this way. They always feel like something is wrong because in their mind, they don’t have what they “need.” But if they relaxed and got out of their head and stopped worrying about what they don’t have and examined the good qualities of what they do have, they would surely see that their life is good regardless of what isn’t there.

When the Wheel of Fortune card comes up for you in the reversed position, accept it as an invitation to ask yourself, “I’m happy, right? I have what I need, right?” If the answer is an honest “No, not really.” Do not use this as an excuse to be a martyr. Assess what is positive and good in your life and make a realistic plan to fill in the gaps with what you truly honestly need. Whatever you do, don’t whine or complain that things are not perfect, because you yourself have the ability to make it perfect. Start with your attitude and go from there. It really is that simple.
