"The wheel in the sky keeps on turning, don't know where I'll be tomorrow..." the song says.  The Wheel of Fortune is commonly called the change card, or associated with fate, destiny, or fortune - whether for better or for worse.  The wheel is controlled by two opposing forces, one a sphinx like creature and the other by a form of the devil, each acting like a brake.  The snake, which is a symbol for change or rebirth, controls the wheel.

The clouds are representative of higher, spiritual thought thus putting hope or trust into the Universe.

The number of this card is 10, which represents the end but if reduced using Numerology the number 1, which typically represents beginnings, so in this card we have beginnings or ending, depending on what the question is.

Knight of Swords

The knight of Swords shows an person cladded in armor with a yellow covering, which has lizards on it.  The knight is looking, assessing the situation and looking for an opening to attack or to stand down.  The horse is ready to move at his command, and is a symbol for movement or moving forward, quickly.  The lizards are also a symbol for quickness but also for transformation.  The feathers on the armor remind me of fire.  The ground below the rider is level and I would read this as being level-headed or in command of emotions.

When this card appears in a reading the question needs to be asked, "is this situation worth going after?"  "Will there be more harm than good?"  "What are the ramifications and who will benefit or suffer?"

The Sun

The Sun blazes brightly and uninhibited in the sky.  There's a wall with flowers, the flowers are facing away from the Sun.  Flowers are symbolizing growth, regeneration, community, like mindedness.  The rider of the horse seems to be a naked young girl who is happy and uninhibited and waving her huge flag high.  The flag represents freedom, a new day and is brown, which I interpret as being down to earth or level headed.  There is a horse, symbolizing strength and motion - the horse and rider are moving away from obstacles towards the unseen future.

This card radiates positive vibes, energy, new beginnings or cycles, looking to the future.

Strength

Courage, strength, charm, compassion, understanding are needed when approaching a situation or person that is difficult.  This woman has found the the lions spot where the "itch" is taking advantage of her position.  We see that the lion's tail is between his legs, he's totally enjoying the attention.

For the moment, the lion is enjoying the left hand on the head and the right under the chin where he's being scratched.  If the lion gets out of hand the woman can easily take the lion by the head and give it a quick crack!  This will surely subdue the lion.  Not every situation requires "guns blazing" to deal with the difficult people or situations, sometimes just having a silver tongue, using intuition, then finding the weakness many times is all we need to overcome difficult situations or people.
