By Michelle Crandell
In numerology, 2026 reduces to the number 10 (2+0+2+6=10), the Major Arcana Card: Wheel of Fortune. This card represents change, destiny, and the cycles of life; what happens and how we are with it. The Wheel indicates endings (10) and beginnings (1+0=1), completions and initiations in our thoughts, feelings, passions, and manifestations. You cannot control the Wheel, but you can control its influence upon us.
How you perceive change determines whether you stay centered as the Wheel turns or become overwhelmed by the spin. When you see change as a THREAT, you respond poorly, with fear, resistance, anger, or immobility.
When you see change as LOSS, you will grieve what is not possible. You may become stuck in the past. When you see change as OPPORTUNITY or CHALLENGE, you become more creative and motivated, focusing on solving problems. When you believe change is a FACT OF LIFE, you will be inclined to roll with the ups and downs of fortune, accepting what happens. When you see change as a LEARNING EXPERIENCE, you can recognize the good that can come from adversity and the risks good fortune creates. The choice is yours.
The Wheel of Fortune encourages you to stay centered, accept what you cannot control, and focus on your spiritual destiny. As the year evolves, pay attention to what is ending in your life and what is beginning. Rather than judging the changes that happen this year as good or bad, simply experience them with awe and humor.
