The Tarot Wheel Traditional Meanings
You can expect fate to be kind. Lady Luck has indeed showered you with her favor, or is about to. All is well. There have been, or will be, vast improvements in your situation. This new cycle is expected to be the most profitable. A most fortunate set of circumstances (in the near future) will nearly guarantee doors to open. There will be progress. You will be able to taste success at hand.
Still, luck can disappear as rapidly as it comes, so do all you can to ensure that if and when your luck changes once more, you will be in a better position than before to see continued success.
The Tarot Wheel Biblical Meanings
The Tarot Wheel card displays the four ancient Hebrew letters known as the Tetragrammaton. Latin translates them as YHWH, Yahweh, or Jehovah (the name of God). There are four winged creatures in the corners of the card: an eagle, a man, a bull, and a lion (symbolizing Jesus, the lion of Judah), which support the throne of God in the first chapter of Ezekiel. The two-edged sword represents the word of God, and the clouds refer to Jesus' return, often depicted as coming through the clouds.
The creature with horns under the wheel is often depicted as the devil, who tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden. One day, he will appear as a man and lead people astray because they are desperate for answers and security. He will appear to provide this, and people will worship him instead of the true God. Of course, card creators added these images to suit the times. The message is that nothing in life is stable. Challenges are not permanent, and neither are blessings. The Tarot Wheel asks how you will deal with the hand of fate and suggests going with the flow.
Keywords: Divine providence, God's plan, changing seasons, improvement, evolvement, and flow, or stopped or reversed.

Food Remedies
Cholerics tend to do very well on vegetarian diets. Ordinary table salt and salty foods, aged cheeses, vinegar and alcohol, high-fat and fried foods, excessive red meat, highly sour foods, fermented foods, and very hot spices will bother the Choleric temperament.
