Your Chosen Card – Fortune Reversed Thoth Deck
When reversed, the Wheel of Fortune cautions that your good luck cant last forever. What goes up must come down. Each season gives way to the next, and you need to be prepared for the possibility of a rainy day. Although our fate is largely what we make it, unexpected things can happen that are outside of our control. Keep in mind the words of Brutus:
Keywords Reversed: Bad luck, a downward cycle, misfortune, a turn for the worse, fateful events, impermanence, procrastination, not seizing the moment, having no choice but to submit, feeling powerless to affect circumstances, the fickle finger of fate.
Key X: The Wheel of Fortune (Dame Fortune)
Myths/Archetypes: Lady Luck. Dame Fortune. The three Norns. The Fates of Greek mythology. The Soothsayer. The fickle finger of fate.
Astrology: Jupiter, the greater benefic. (Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces)
Numerology: 1 (Magician) = 1 + 0 (Wheel of Fortune) = 1 + 9 (The Sun)
Element: Fire
When Fortune is reversed you can pretty much take it that life is going well but that’s when life takes us by surprise. If Fortune is unclear it may help to choose a card from the Major Arcana to provide more insight into what it is Fortune is trying to tell you. If you had a particular issue in mind, or want to seek clarification on something else, you can also choose again to get more guidance.

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books
Complete Book of Tarot: The study of the tarot became a core element in the Golden Dawn teachings as an attempt to synthesize many occult traditions into a coherent philosophy, much like the unified field theory scientists aspired to develop in modern physics. Central to the Golden Dawn system was the idea that the Kabbalah, a school of Jewish mysticism, contains the secret to understanding the meaning and purpose of the universe. The Golden Dawn assigned meanings to tarot cards based on associations with the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, the Kabbalah, the decans (ten-degree divisions of zodiac signs) of astrology, and other esoteric disciplines.
Complete Book of Tarot: The Crownthe initial spark of creation. Kether is associated with the primum mobile, and according to some modern astrologers, the planet Pluto. The tarot cards related to the number one are the Magician (I), the Wheel of Fortune (X, 1 + 0 = 1), the Sun (XIX, 1 + 9 = 10 1 + 0 = 1), and the four Aces, representing the pure potential and initial spark of the four elements.
Reversed Cards: The Wheel of Fortune has a strong connection to the cycles of the earth and more directly to the changing seasons. The world as we know it shifts and changes with the direction of the wind. Spring, summer, fall, and winter, continuously spinning. Always there. Always consistent. Even when you live close to the equator, you experience seasonal changes. They may not be the same as in areas with more obvious seasons, but they are still there. This constant, stable, gentle shift of energy reminds us of the Wheel of Fortune in the protection aspect. It is very comforting to know the days will get longer and warmer when one is in the throngs of a cold, dark, and bitter winter, just as there is hope in the coming coolness of fall after a hideously hot and uncomfortable summer. This consistent change is stabilizing because we know it is like the wheel, forever moving and always returning. When the wheel shows up in the protection position in a reading, this is the gift it offers. A consistent, stable changing energy. A promise of another chance. A hope of returning opportunities and the promise that this too shall pass.
