The Wheel of Fortune spins eternally, represnting all of life and its many ups and downs, its cyclical nature, and the duality of good and evil. Four winged creatures, representing of the four elements, are seated througout the Wheel, representing the four seasons. In this way, The Wheel Of Fortune reprenestns the passing of time, maybe a calendar year, as we move through these seasons. As a god or King sits on top, an upright Wheel of Forture quite simple points to the "good" or prosperous times. Taking into account the nature of "Spinning a Wheel", this can also represent taking a chance, pushing your luck, or simply the fact that not everything can be determined or known in this world.
