If ever there was a card that seemed to defy the notion of 'free will' it is this one. Is our future (our successes and failures?) simply a matter of the Wheel of Fortune's stone cold hand?
O Fortune,UGG Rainier Boot (http://www.mvpboots.com/ugg-rainier-boot-c-29.html), you are changeable
waxing and waning;
life oppresses then soothes
as fancy takes it;
poverty and power
it melts them like ice.
Fate - monstrous and empty,UGG Sundance 2 (http://www.mvpboots.com/ugg-sundance-c-34.html), you whirling wheel,UGG Classic Short (http://www.mvpboots.com/ugg-classic-short-c-1.html),
you are malevolent,UGG Sundance (http://www.mvpboots.com/ugg-sundance-c-34.html),
well-being is vain
Of course, there is such a thing as Randomness. Sometimes what happens can be said to be totally unrelated to your past or your choices. However, there is a danger in leaning towards an interpretation of this card that scoffs at free will: You will miss the ways in which your destiny is in YOUR hands.
The Wheel of Fortune card is one of my favorite in the Major Arcana.
I think interpreting the Wheel of Fortune card in this way would be unwise. As always,UGG Tasmina Slippers (http://www.mvpboots.com/ugg-tasmina-slippers-c-11.html), looking at the card's position is very telling. For instance, in any position besides 'outcome' it's probably more wise to evaluate if your ATTITUDE is what the Wheel of Fortune card is referring to. For instance:

In Carl Orff's symphonic masterpiece Carmina Burana, the opening 'Oh Fortuna' captures the stone cold-bitchiness of the Wheel of Fortune,UGG Classic Short Kids (http://www.mvpboots.com/ugg-classic-short-kids-c-37.html), where one's fate can seemingly change for the better or worse,ugg online (http://www.mvpboots.com/), without rational explanation:
* Are you assuming that the outcome of the issue on your mind is simply 'destiny' (that your actions cannot impact)?
* Are you choosing to see 'Fate' or 'luck' in a situation that has been influenced by your actions?
* In a way,UGG Classic Cardy (http://www.mvpboots.com/ugg-classic-cardy-c-2.html), this can also be thought of a card about karma. How have your choices/actions in the past influencing the cycles and patterns at play in your life right now?
* Pertaining to destiny
* Taking a chance,UGG Evera Sneakers (http://www.mvpboots.com/ugg-evera-sneakers-c-35.html), seeing fate's hand in luck or coincidences
* A reversal of fortune or course
* Seeing the cycles and patterns at play in one's life or a situation
