Have always been interesting in tarot reading, but never could really learn it well, so i'd just do some notes here, for keepsake.

Wheel of Fortune
10th card of the major arcana, it depicts the wheel in the middle, signifying the everchanging and cycling fortune and fate.
To the right of the wheel is Eygptian God Anubis, the ex god of death (present lord of death is Osiris), now god who watches over the mummification process, and judges souls by placing their heart on the Scales of Justice, and feeds the wicked to Ammit (Eater of the dead, devourer, seating beneath the scales of justice. (More on this in the legend of osiris, coming next!)

To the left of the wheel is a snake, which signifies typhon (Greek mythology: son of gaia [mother earth] and tartarus, a creature with hundred serpent heads, wanted to destroy the heavens but stopped by zeus, who kept him pinned under a mountain)
Note: tartarus is a place? a deep pit below the earth [similar to hell] where cronus [titan, first son of titan gaia and uranus(gaia's son)] was kept/ banished to.

Sitting on top of the wheel is the sphinx. This brings us to the story of Oedipus and the sphinx.
King lauis of Thebes learned from an oracle that his son would one day kill him and marry his mother Jocasta, so he ordered to pierce his son's ankles and tie them to leather cords, in a deserted mountain. But a shepherd found him, and brought him to Polybus, king of Corinth, where he was adopted and called Oedipus (swollen foot), and they never told him he was adopted.
However, Oedipus learnt of the prophecy, and decided to leave Corinth, to prevent killing Polybus. On his journey, he met a traveller and killed him (guess who?), and as he reached the gates of THebes, a sphinx was there, killing everyone who could not answer her riddle. Oedipus managed to answer it What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening? Oedipus solved the riddle, answering that man crawls on all fours in infancy, walks upright on two legs in adulthood, and uses a cane as a third leg in old age. The sphinx upon hearing it, was so frustrated she killed herself. The people of Thebes were grateful, and made him king, seeing the Lauis had not returned for a long time, and Jocasta was made his wife.
Soon, everyone found out the truth, Jocasta hung herself, and Oedipus went to exile (he ordered to sent the murdering of king lauis to exile) and died at the shrine of Eumenides at Colonus, near Athens.
