Jung and Tarot: The Wheel of Fortune

The book mentioned so many different ideas and symbols about the card that it was hard to follow along. However, Oedipus was brought up very frequently, which I thought was interesting. Ultimately, the card has so much more to do with it than just fate/fortune - it gives reason to why things happen in our lives and helps the card-reader almost to the point of finding meaning in life. I think this is something that everyone struggles with at some point. Who has never philosophically asked "what is the meaning of life?" or "why did this have to happen to me?" Reading made me think of Life, the classic board game. Things happen, it is what it is and you have to understand that it's okay.

I definitely like The Wheel of Fortune more than The Lovers card - maybe almost as much as I like The Star. The two cards seem connected by their meanings because The Wheel represents coming to terms with something and The Star is about shining, or staying positive even in the worst of times.
