In many Tarot packs, The Wheel of Fortune carries three mythical beings. At the left is a creature (often part monkey) ruled by instincts, and descending; at the right the animal (sometimes part hare) is intelligent, and climbs heavenward; at the top, the creature (often part sphinx) symbolizes spiritual knowledge. Waite, in his pack, adds in the corners of the card the four creatures of Ezekiel's vision mentioned in Revelations.
Divinatory Meaning: good fortune, major events, big change in life circumstances.
Reversed: end of a cycle of good fortune, turn for the worst.
