I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

But Impersonal

From the Dark Goddess Tarot, the Wheel of Fortune (Fortuna); from the Tattwa Cards, Earth: Seed of Water:


The world is vast, beautiful, and fascinating, even awe-inspiring - but impersonal. 
—Herbert A. Simon

Lorenzi-Prince writes that Fortuna is far more interested in change than fairness. It is simply how the world functions in order to sustain itself. Those who are adaptable can deal with the difficult until the wheel rolls over again. When things are great, we can enjoy them fully with the knowledge that these times won't last. Earth: Seed of Water symbolizes boldness and change, however we before we try a different approach, we need to assess why things went sideways previously. Part of that change may be that we need to let go of ideas like "It must be this way. It should be this way." Instead, we can choose an appropriate and beneficial response to the way things are.
