Description[edit]
Wheel Of Fortune Today Result
The card pictured is the Wheel Of Fortune card from the A. E. Waite tarot deck. A. E. Waite was a key figure in the development of the Tarot in line with the Hermetic magical-religious system which was also being developed at the time,[1] and this deck, as well as being in common use today, also forms the basis for a number of other modern tarot decks.[2]
According to A.E. Waite's Pictorial Key to the Tarot, the Wheel of Fortune card carries several divinatory associations:[3]
10.WHEEL OF FORTUNE—Destiny, fortune, success, elevation, luck, felicity. Reversed: Increase, abundance, superfluity.
The Wheel Of Fortune card, like other cards of the Major Arcana, varies widely in depiction between Tarot decks. The card has been modeled ever since the tarot's inception in the 15th century after the medieval concept of Rota Fortunae, the wheel of the goddess Fortuna. Images generally show a six- or eight-spoked wheel, often attended or crested by an individual (sometimes human; sometimes a Sphinx-like half-human) attired in an Egyptian-style headdress. In some decks, such as the AG Müller, the wheel is also attended by an individual wearing a blindfold; and often there are people sitting or riding on the wheel whilst others are shown falling from it.
The wheel is not always shown inscribed with any lettering. Where this is the case, the letters T-A-R-O (clockwise) or T-O-R-A (counter clockwise) can often be found aligned against four of the spokes, which can also be interpreted as R-O-T-A, the Latin word meaning 'wheel'. In some decks, such as the Waite, the wheel is also inscribed with additional alchemical symbols representing the four elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water (which are also said to be represented throughout the Tarot by the four 'suits' of Pentacles or Discs, Wands, Swords, and Cups respectively.[4] These emblems can also be seen on the Magician's table in the Magician card [Card I]).
On the Waite card shown, though not necessarily on others, there are also four winged creatures in the corners of the card, representing the symbols of the four Evangelists (The Lion, the Ox, the Man and the Eagle). These four Evangelists are also represented by the four fixedastrological signs: Leo, Taurus, Aquarius and Scorpio. In addition a representation of the god Anubis is seen rising with the wheel on the right side, while the snake-like Typhon descends on the left. On the wheel, alternating with the letters T-A-R-O are the Hebrew letters י-ה-ו-ה, usually transliterated as YHWH (Yahweh - Hebrew for God).
Interpretation[edit]
A common aspect to most interpretations of this card within a reading is to introduce an element of change in the querent's life, such change being in station, position or fortune: such as the rich becoming poor, or the poor becoming rich.[5][6][7]
Alternative decks[edit]
In the Mythic Tarot deck, the Wheel of Fortune is depicted by the Fates.

'Wheel of Fortune' contestants may be on a game show, but Pat Sajak is not playing around.
Fans of the show fixated on a stern look Sajak gave contestant Greg Wylie on Wednesday's episode after a playful conversation about Wylie's fencing hobby.
'It’s more Renaissance outfits and we do competitive fencing tournaments, you can do multiple players on the field,” Wylie said. 'So basically I go out on the weekend and stab my friends. So it’s very cathartic.'

Sajak then changed the subject to talk about Wylie's wife of 14 years and their two daughters, 14 and 12 the latter of which who is 'basically a teenager now.'
'Well just stay on guard,” Sajak joked. “Fencing humor there.'
As Sajak was turning to a commercial break, Wylie jumped in and said 'I got the point.' The contestant's joke led Sajak to turn away from the camera and back to Wylie.

'Pat about to lose it on this guy, again,' wrote @shleppy67 who was likely referring to Sajak's encounter with another contestant the week prior.
On a Nov. 25 episode of 'Wheel of Fortune,' Sajak jokingly went off on a contestant calling him 'ungrateful' and later apologized for doing so.
The moment happened when Darin McBain guessed the word 'kitchen oven' correctly but was confused by the term.
'Kitchen oven? What was that?' McBain said. 'Who calls it a kitchen oven?'
'You won, don't argue, Darin! You got the puzzle,' Sajak said. 'Ungrateful players, I've had it!'
Sajak later apologized to McBain saying: 'I'm sorry I yelled at you, Darin. I just don't remember your mother giving us trouble like you did.'
According to Yahoo! and Good Housekeeping, McBain's mother was a contestant on the game show in 1982.
