The Wheel of Fortune spins the destinies of mortals, raising some up while bringing others down. The letters INVH for Jehovah appear on the wheel as do the word TARO. The four mystical creatures of the bible (Ezekiel 1:10, Revelation 4:7) appear in the four corners, corresponding to the four fixed signs of the Zodiac: A bull for Taurus, a lion for Leo, an Eagle for Scorpio, and a winged man for Aquarius. The overall symbolism is that while our material existence undergoes ups and downs, spiritual reality is an eternal constant.

The focus here is on unexpected developments that change your plans or alter your course, conflicts of interest, or an idea ready to materialize. Circumstances will not be under your control. Get ready for a new way of life, because one is on its way. In fact, this apparent chaos is the start of something much better, so don't be rigid with your plans. Letting things flow will bring good fortune. Events are going to unfold in such a way that it will be impossible to miss the hand of Fate in your affairs. A fresh start will work out in your favor.



The lotus was of great significance to many ancient cultures,

and in particular to the Eastern religions. From ancestral times,

the lotus regularly appears as a symbol of purity, peace,

transcendence, enlightenment, rebirth, beauty, and fertility.
In India, the lotus flower is considered to be of divine origin and

is viewed as sacred by both Hindus and Buddhists. Buddha was

said to sleep on a lotus six months of the year, and Shambala

(Buddhist heaven) is sometimes represented as a field of

flowering sacred lotuses.



The idea of enlightenment is symbolised by the life cycle of

the sacred lotus plant because it begins its life humbly in the mud

of ponds but soon grows and sends stems and flowers well above

the surface of the water (up to 50cm), thus showing the path of spiritual unfoldment.
It also has unusual flowering habits; its flowers ‘wake up’ (open) at dawn and go to sleep (close) at about 2pm. Some lotuses are even known to open up at night and close during the day, ignoring the normal sunlight hours favoured by the majority of flowering plants, and effectively transcending normal time cycles.

This fits Roxy well, because she is a the reborn form of that little pinkish spirit , who was also named Roxy.

Wheel of Fortune is a tarot card. :3

The lotus is a flower with lots of symbolism and some mythology behind it.
