Wheel of Fortune

The Lord of the Forces of Life

On the Path from Kether to Chokmah is the Tarot Trump called "The Wheel of Fortune," the Key of Destiny which is one with the True Will, and also, some say, with Chance.

This is the Card of Iu-Pater, Jupiter the Father, and it symbolizes the Great Wheel of Life; the Whirling Forces of the Primum Mobile, which resulted in a System of Revolving Orbs, the Star Universe or Sphere of the Zodiac, in Chokmah.

This Card depicts the Three Principles of Alchemy, Mercury, Sulphur, and Salt; the Three Gunas, Satva, Rajas and Tamas; the three forms of Force, Radiation,Conduction and Convection; the States of Peace, Activity, and Sloth.
These are symbolized by the Sphinx, Hermanubis and Typhon upon the rim of theWheel; while the "Centrum in Centri Trigono" is concealed within. This Life Force is active in the One Substance, which becomes differentiated into the Four Elements as symbolized by the Four Cherubic Beasts at the Corners or the Card.

Also this is the birth of Tetragrammaton, the Word of the Elements, coming into Existence, or Becoming, as shown by the Letters Yod, He, Vau, He on the Wheel.
On this we also find the letters TARO or ROTA and the suggestion of the Beginning of Law as THORA.
