A great orange wheel marked with letters turns in the clouds, a sphinx with a sword on top, a snake down one side and a red jackal-headed figure on the other. Winged figures read books in the corners.

Leans yes

Upright meaning

The wheel turns whether you push it or not. What was down comes up; what was up comes down. The lesson is not to grip the spoke but to ride the rim.

 (reversed)

Reversed meaning

Resistance to change, repeating the same arc, bad luck taken personally. The wheel still turns.

Advice

Loosen your grip. The next turn is already arriving.
