The Wheel of Fortune, Real World Style

So I go  to Subway to put in an application because my retail job only gives me 9 hours a week.

I accidentally walk in a pizza place that is hiring.

They are in desperate need for someone to work a shift that is PERFECT for me.

I go back to confirm and the place is boarded up. lol!

Turns out a car drove through their front window, and no one knows when they will reopen.

My head is spinning from the Wheel turning, flipping, and turning again, but okay, I roll with it, TraLaLa as Jareth the Goblin King would say.

I drive past today and construction workers are hard at work putting the front of the pizza place back together.

So I”m going back and leaving a note next time I’m up the road!

Plus drop the Subway application off.

Note: The Wheel can mean literally a vehicle or a journey in a vehicle. Cosmic Humor there.

This is the Wheel of Fortune in a nutshell. Or a single week. Whatever.

I’m going to go take my dizziness prescription meds.

The Wheel of Fortune: My Take

Interpretation (from Wikipedia:

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.[4][5][6]

At the top of the wheel perches the sphinx, who is there to remind us that if we stay stable amidst turmoil and use reasoning then we can retain the power to change our own lives instead of staying at the mercy of chance.[7]

Fiery K. Tarot's avatarThe Spinsta Life

(from my “Once Upon a Time” assignment in the Biddy Tarot Certification Program.)

A group of beings inhabit a realm Above. Four (4) are studying, one (1) is supporting the learning materials, one (1) is presiding over all, and one (1) is taking the information from their realm to that of Below. If clouds are considered to be Beings, they are a part of this story as well, supporting those that study and looking on in general interest.

Three (3) Beings hold their books with their front paws. One (1) with its back paws.

One (1) wears clothes, the rest do not.

All gravitate around the ancient symbols.

Everything happens according to the well orchestrated plan set before them. Like clockwork, they work diligently at their respective tasks. All in their place; each place holding its Being. It looks like a library, or a scene out of a library…
