For the month of August, our featured tarot card is the Wheel of Fortune. It is the tenth trump card of the Major Arcana. What’s unique about this card is that it is one of the few without a human figure as the focal point.

It is often depicted as a clockwise-turning, six or eight-spoked wheel with figures, sometimes beasts, rising and falling with its movement. In the Rider-Waite version, it includes some Hebrew letters and alchemy symbols. Some decks draw it with a sphinx on top, while others have a human attendant beside the wheel. The AG Müller tarot card shows it with a blind-folded person beside the wheel.

Jupiter is this card’s ruling planet. There are different ways to interpret this card when it shows up during a tarot reading, but the most common is that it represents a vision, a realization or a turning point. The most obvious is that it represents luck and a change of fortune. It can mean abundance, joy and happiness for the querant. With its shape and natural movement, it can also mean evolution and change. But most tarot readers would interpret it as a pleasant surprise.

This month’s featured tarot card is The Lovers. This is the sixth trump card of the Major Arcana in traditional tarot decks. It is often depicted by a couple with Cupid or an angel above them. In earlier decks, it was simply known as Love. This tarot card is often associated with the star sign Gemini. In some decks, it is even known as The Twins.

With different versions of the tarot cards, so came different renditions. In the Cary-Yale Visconti tarot deck, it shows a royal wedding. While in the Waite tarot deck it is drawn somewhat similar to Adam and Eve, with a tree and a serpent.

The most common interpretation of The Lovers is that it represents relationships and choices. If it appears during a tarot reading, it may mean that a decision point has been reached in an existing relationship or a choice of potential partners is soon to be made. Some tarot readers associate it with pleasure, desire, passion and sexuality.

The Fool, sometimes known as The Jester, is a trump card of the Major Arcana. It is often numbered zero. In earlier decks, The Fool is depicted as a beggar or a vagabond. He wears ragged clothes, has no shoes and carries a stick. It has later on evolved into a beggar leaning onto a staff.

However, with the development of cartomancy decks (such as the Rider-Waite deck), The Fool becomes a young man standing on a precipice. He has a rose in one hand and a bundle of possessions in the other. He is sometimes accompanied by an animal, in most cases a dog. Other decks may show him as a jester or a bard, similar to the joker of playing cards.

He often represents a protagonist taking the Fool’s Journey. In a tarot reading session, The Fool might represent the person asking for the reading. He is sometimes said to symbolize the search for experience. He is innocent and possesses a childlike ability to stumble on the inner workings of the world. However, he can also be naïve. His daydreams may make him miss real dangers or hidden perils (such as falling of a cliff).

The focus of this tarot card is on faith, hope and trust. If it appears upright, it can mean a fresh start or a new beginning. If the querent is faced with a difficult decision, having this card turn up during tarot reading may mean a positive outcome. The reversed fool is a warning against being impulsive or giving in to temptation and recklessness.
