Lore
Arcanata's wheel turns against a night sky, with four symbolic figures watching from around it. The card is about a turn in timing or luck that you can respond to, even if you didn't cause it.
In daily life, it can bring a sudden offer, a change of plans, or a lucky break that still needs good judgement.
