Tarot isn’t just about symbols on cardstock. It’s about energy, emotion, and the subtle language of the soul. When I draw a card in response to a question like “How does this person feel about me?” or “What am I feeling deep down about this situation?”, I tune in beyond the surface. Some cards carry the weight of fate and The Wheel of Fortune is one of them.
This card is mysterious, powerful, and sometimes unpredictable, just like the tides of emotion it can reflect.
Wheel of Fortune Upright as Feelings
When this card appears upright in a feelings reading, it often signals emotional shifts and usually ones that are part of a greater pattern. It’s like the person’s heart is riding a wave of destiny. They might feel drawn to you or to a situation in a way they can’t fully explain.
It can mean:
- A deep sense that something meant to be is unfolding
- Feelings of excitement or anticipation, a turning point is near
- A pull that feels karmic or guided
- Sudden realizations or emotional changes happening fast
If you’re asking how someone feels about you, this card might mean they feel swept up in something bigger than themselves, as if the universe has brought you together at just the right moment. They may feel a strong emotional connection, even if they’re unsure where it will lead.
For me, this card is like the soul’s clock ticking. It reminds us that feelings aren’t static. They evolve, and sometimes, they’re shaped by forces we can’t see just yet.
Wheel of Fortune Reversed as Feelings
In reverse, the energy shifts. It can mean that the person is feeling stuck or out of sync emotionally. They might feel as if something’s not flowing, or that they’ve missed an opportunity. There’s often a sense of frustration with timing or resistance to change.
When reversed, I’ve read it to mean:
- Feeling like life is happening to them, not with them
- Emotional confusion about the right timing
- Fear of change or of letting go
- A sense that things are out of their control emotionally
This doesn’t always mean something negative, but it can reflect a phase where someone is processing a lot internally and might not feel ready to act just yet. Or they could be fighting against what their heart already knows.
What I Feel When I Pull This Card
I’ve pulled The Wheel of Fortune in moments of unexpected connection, those surreal little sparks where everything seems to align. And I’ve also seen it when I needed to be reminded that change is inevitable, and resisting it only creates emotional tension.
It’s a card that reminds me of the rhythm of life. The same way our feelings ebb and flow, the Wheel turns. It’s a beautiful teacher of trust.
So whether it shows up in your spread upright or reversed, take a breath and listen. Something is shifting. And your heart already knows it.
With calm and curiosity,
