Fortune is a wheel that we have no control over; it ebbs and flows, exalts some, and crushes others. Our life is full of external circumstances, some of which we have no power to change. Though we try our hardest to hold on to the events that bring us good luck, there are forces that are beyond human control. These are the same forces that create the seasons, that make the sun rise and fall, the moon to shift between her phases. Fortune teaches us to find our center, regardless of where the wheel turns for us. This is the test the Hermit prepares us for; wherever the wheel turns, if we find our true center, the place of stillness in the perpetual rotation of fate, we can take any motion that life brings our way. When the world’s circumstances are turned upside down, we can remain strong.
