X - Wheel of Fortune
+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+
A
traditional nativity scene. A woman lies in bed nursing her
baby while the bearded father heats food over an open fire.
A cow and donkey watch from a thatched byre. A wooden wheel
on the wall is flanked by the four Evangelists - an angel, an
eagle, a winged cow and lion.
My
Interpretation: What
you lose on the swing you'll gain on the roundabout.
Life
will always send us challenges and trials to overcome - you
cannot have good without bad, or light without darkness. Do
not dwell on misfortune, but look instead to future joys. The
opportunity will arise for a fresh start, or the beginning of
a new path or venture.
(Reversed:
Bitterness at misfortunes, clouding one's ability to see the
good fortunes also dealt by Fate)
Edit
notes: This
is very different to my v1.0 card
as people quite rightly complained that was too obscure. I have
kept with my orginal feeling for this card, though - to me,
it's a card of the everyday challenges and opportunities we
face, and of the possibility for renewal and change. I have
used a traditional Nativity scene, although a very down to earth
version thereof. This composition of this card is nothing like
the Rider-Waite card, but it has a wheel and the Four Evangelists
(angel, eagle, winged bull and lion) so will hopefully be recognisable
to RWD readers.
