The (10) Wheel of Fortune concludes the week as the Eight of Rods (my natal arcana) commenced it, with Jupiter, the father of Fortuna, ruling over the arcana. Whereas Saturn is all about reaping what we have sown, Jupiter encourages us to sow wisely for a fruitful harvest. The first seeds we sow are our thoughts and as the theme of this week has been “as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he,” today would be a good moment to go over the gardens of our mind and root out any choking weeds of self-limitation and self-sabotage that yesterday’s arcana alluded to, in spite of the positive emotional energy that has been available this week.
