The Seasonal Wheel: Why Some Cards Have Built-In Calendars

The Wheel of Fortune, Temperance, and the entire suit of Pentacles have an uncanny relationship with agriculture, harvest, and natural cycles—which makes them surprisingly good at pointing to timing that follows nature's clock rather than our digital one. When these cards appear in combination with your specific timing indicators, they're not being vague. They're telling you to think in quarters of the year, not quarters of the hour.
