Start your journey here: [What is Vidawheel Goddess Tarot?] 
The girl finds peace in the temple of Hestia. Warmth returns to her heart. She descends the mountain, ready for a new journey. But at the foot of the mountain, she sees a shocking sight—the golden fields of yesterday are now barren. Flowers have withered. The air feels empty.
She freezes in panic. Did I do something wrong? Is this a punishment?
Just as fear takes hold, a light rises from the dry earth. A Goddess walks slowly from the withered land.
Demeter Goddess—Mother of Earth and Guardian of Cycles.
She holds a giant wheel. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter flash across its surface. It breathes like time itself. Her gaze holds deep mercy, understanding all life and death.
"Life has its cycles," Demeter whispers. "Today's loss is tomorrow's harvest. Misfortune and fortune rely on each other. Do not resist impermanence; learn to flow with it. Jupiter guards this wheel. Even in change, there is luck and expansion. Look closely—new seeds are already buried in the barren soil."
Staring at the spinning wheel, the girl understands: The Wheel of Fortune is not a punishment. It is a lesson in trust. It teaches maturity through the rise and fall of seasons.

This is not the end. It is the start of another cycle.

II. Deep Dive into Tarot Card Meanings: The Wheel of Fortune Meaning

2.1 Rider-Waite Perspective: Timing and Destiny

In the Rider-Waite system, The Wheel of Fortune symbolizes external forces intervening. It is the start of a life cycle and a shift in destiny structure.
Alchemy symbols and the four zodiac signs on the wheel show that change has order; it is not random chaos. Psychologically, this corresponds to Synchronicity. When you are ready inside, the world responds outside.

The Wheel of Fortune Meaning is not just luck; it is a deep signal that "Everything has reached a turning point."

2.2 Tarot de Marseille Perspective: Impermanence and Flow

In the Tarot de Marseille, The Wheel of Fortune (La Roue de Fortune) shows three states: Rising, Falling, and Resting.

It emphasizes the Impermanence of Life. Roles change. Power shifts. No one stays at the top forever; no one stays at the bottom. The wisdom here is not to avoid change, but to stabilize your center. It reminds us: What comes will come; what goes will go.

2.3 Goddess Tarot Perspective: Feminine Power of Cycles

In the VidaWheel Goddess Tarot system, The Wheel of Fortune is carried by Demeter Goddess. She rules the seasons.
Her power is not creating instant miracles, but allowing life to grow, wither, and be reborn naturally.
The Wheel of Fortune Meaning in this deck:
  • Seasonal Cycles
  • Cyclical Growth of the Soul
  • Natural Transition of Life Stages
  • Timing of Inner Maturity

Demeter tells women: Destiny is not manipulating you. It is a rhythm you work with.

III. Demeter Goddess Myth & 21st Century Female Power

Modern women are constantly pushed by change—breakups, job shifts, moving cities, identity crises. Often, they think change means loss of control or failure.

The Wheel of Fortune tells women: Impermanence is not punishment; it is the rhythm of growth. When the outside looks chaotic, the inside is often ready to leave the old stage.

Anxiety, emptiness, or loss of direction are not signs of falling. They are signs that a New Cycle is coming.
Demeter Goddess reminds you: The time has come. Old structures are loosening. New paths are forming. You are not being pushed around by fate; you are being moved to a bigger place. You don't need to hold onto the past. You need to trust—Jupiter brings luck to those who move.
