- 10 - Wheel of Fortune -
historical
- No, not the gameshow. Get thee gone, Vanna! Wheel of fortune is
based loosely apon a legend about a dream of King Arthur's from the eleventh
century. Imagery calls on good ol' Lady Luck, who actually got her
start as an old Greco-Roman goddess.
card
- "I shall reign, I reign, I reigned, I am without reign" - it's an old
Roman quote, and it's damn true. See, Wheel isn't really about luck
alot of the time... or, to be more precise, it's about both good and bad
luck. What goes up must come down and vice versa. It's the great
circle of life, an ol' Simba's eventually vulture-fodder. Along with
Justice, this card is really related to karma.
wheel
of fortune meaning - fortune, or a change of fortune. Change, in fact,
in general - often good luck in times of change. Chance or probability.
fortune
reversed meaning - bad fortune, or a change of fortune. Chance
or probability. Bad luck.
persona
wielder - Jun Kuroda, the resident girly-boy of Innocent Sin. Do
that funky spoiler dance.
Right
then. Y'know that pretentious looking Roman quote up there? That...
is pretty much Jun in a nutshell. First he's happy lil' kid with mommy
and daddy. Then daddy's up and dead, Mommy's a cradle-robbing floozy,
and poor lil' Jun is off to school where he gets his ass kicked for being
prettier than the members of the cheerleading squad. What's a boy to
do? Why, become defensively violent and the superpowered leader of
a supernatural cult, of course! So then he rules for a bit... and is
eventually taken down by he best buddy/boyfriend/whatever the hell Tatsuya
is. After which he's all fighting for Good and the like. Then
he has to lose his memories and go back to square one.
The
point? Jun gets whirled around in position more than usual in the spin-cycle
of life. Go fortune.
