The Wheel of Fortune is not a bad card; it means that things will take form, in a logical way. You reap what you sow.
Drawn face up
The Wheel of Fortune card drawn upright symbolises a cycle in motion, a situation in the midst of happening. It means that the most needs to be made of this moment. This is a positive card, and cancels out the negative effects of the neighbouring cards. It purifies a tarot drawing, because it shows that everything is turning, and that nothing is irremediable.
There's the risk that positive things will turn negative, but negative things will turn into something better. The wheel is an alternation between moments of sadness and joy, but each test will be passed with success.
The consultant won't stay passive; they will act no matter what happens. This is the card of motion. Its meanings: motion, intuition, dynamism, cycles, chance
Drawn upside-down
When drawn upside-down, the Wheel of Fortune card defines a spiral, in which the consultant is caught; a series of events that happens where they aren't able to take control, and where they aren't sheltered from bad surprises. Upside-down, this card renders an action impossible. It symbolises delay in a project.
Its meanings: misfortune, failure.
Summary
Overall, this is a positive card. It is a source of movement and power. It marks either a desired or beneficial change. The Wheel is nevertheless unstable, everything moving ceaselessly. Although the change will generally be positive, it can also, unfortunately, turn negative. The other cards that are drawn will help to better determine the meaning of the Wheel of Fortune.
