Wheel of Fortune · reversed

The Wheel reversed asks you to notice where you're bracing yourself against change — gripping hard, insisting things stay as they are, or conversely, spinning without anchor in response to every shift. Both are forms of resistance dressed in different clothes. One freezes you; one exhausts you. Either way, you're working against the motion rather than moving within it.
Today, see if you can locate that grip. Where are you saying *no* to something that's already shifting? A relationship pattern, a role you've outgrown, a situation that no longer fits. The wheel doesn't stop because you want it to. It only grinds when you push back hardest.
This isn't about surrender or passivity. It's about finding your feet while the ground moves. Dancers don't fight the music; they feel its tempo and move with it. What would shift in you if you stopped resisting, and instead asked: *what is this change asking me to learn?*
