In this episode, Rootz and Nicole discuss the Wheel of Fortune and the archetype of cycles. For any new to Tarot,  the Wheel of Fortune is the tenth card and comes after the Hermit in the Major Archana.

The Wheel of Fortune is constantly moving, so we call it a wheel. Like life, our journey here on earth is never linear; it works in cycles. Sometimes we are at the bottom of a cycle where we learn and grow, which can be challenging. Then sometimes, we move to the top where we can rest, relax, and enjoy our previous hard work to get to a better place.

Rootz and Nicole discuss what it is like to be on the bottom of the wheel vs. the top and what might show up for people in those moments as it did for them.

In this episode, Rootz and Nicole discuss the Hermit and the archetype of going within. We share the importance of going within to connect to our inner knowing and wisdom to gain clarity on our life's path. We also cover how the Hermit's energy is very introverted and how some people feel at home in his presence while others might be terrified of him because they are trying to distract themselves from his truth. It also happens to have been a new moon on the night we recorded, which is the perfect environment for this discussion.
