Turning the Wheel: How to Use The Magician When Life Gets Upended

Turning the Wheel: How to Use The Magician When Life Gets Upended

What do you do when the wheel of life turns out of control?

If you're feeling shaken, disoriented, or stuck banging on a door that won't open, you're in good company. Big pivots meet almost everyone with some mix of shock, grief, and the urge to grip harder. Nothing is wrong with you. You're simply in the middle of the wheel's turning.

In this second episode of our three-part series on the collective archetypes of 2026, Sarah gets practical. Drawing on her own pivot year, she shows how to work directly with the Wheel of Fortune and the Magician for support, grounding, and expansion, so you can meet upheaval with more consciousness and less collapse.
