The wheel is turning and you can’t slow down,
You can’t let go, and you can’t hold on,
You can’t go back, and you can’t stand still,
If the thunder don’t get you, then the lightning will.

Won’t you try just a little bit harder,
Couldn’t you try just a little bit more?
Won’t you try just a little bit harder,
Couldn’t you try just a little bit more?

  • This year, 2008, is 2+0+0+8, which equals 10. Based on the Major Arcana, this is the year of the Wheel of Fortune. The first thing we may notice this year is that it will bring a major shift from last year, which was more inner-directed, when a feeling of introspection, soul-searching, and even isolation prevailed.

Round, round, Robin run around,
Gotta get back where you belong.
Little bit harder, just a little bit more,
Little bit further than you’ve gone before.

The wheel is turning and you can’t slow down,
You can’t let go, and you can’t hold on,
You can’t go back, and you can’t stand still,
If the thunder don’t get you, then the lightning will.

Small wheel turning by the fire and rod.
Big wheel turning by the grace of God.
Every time that wheel turn ‘round
Bound to cover just a little more ground.

Welcome 2008: The Tarot Year of the Wheel of Fortune!

Published on Mar 9, 2008 'Wheel of Fortune' was my second game show appearance (I was on 'The Price Is Right' June 9, 2005.) This clip shows the results of all three Toss-Ups and Pat Sajak's. Oscars Best Picture Winners Best Picture Winners Golden Globes Emmys San Diego Comic-Con New York Comic-Con Sundance Film Festival Toronto Int'l Film Festival Awards Central Festival Central All Events.


As you may know from some of my articles, or if you are in my Birthday Club, the numerology of your birthday, or of a particular year, may correspond to the Tarot, specifically the Major Arcana (the trumps). Using this system, we can learn about some general traits and patterns that can be anticipated in a given year.

This year, 2008, is 2+0+0+8, which equals 10. Based on the Major Arcana, this is the year of the Wheel of Fortune. The first thing we may notice this year is that it will bring a major shift from last year, which was more inner-directed, when a feeling of introspection, soul-searching, and even isolation prevailed. Now, the global energy changes radically, and events are very likely to be dramatic.

This may be a time of surprises, when old patterns, friends and even enemies not seen in a long time may pop up. There may be a wave of nostalgia for the “good old days,” yet there will be an equal push for growth and change towards the future.

In fact, the hallmark of a Wheel of Fortune year is that it is a major turning point. Many who have been working, praying, meditating and energizing the transitioning of our planet from the Piscean to the Aquarian Age may find that this is the year when their labors are much more visible, and real progress can be made.

But the end of the old paradigm is clearly not willing to pass quietly, so buckle your seat belts, folks. This Ferris Wheel of Fortune may spin faster and less smoothly than we would like, with even the occasional rude reversal.

One of the most obvious and dramatic events that will have us “up in the air” this year is the American presidential election. Whether you are a citizen of the U.S. or not, you know that this election will be affecting your fate in many ways for years to come. For Americans, the wheel of destiny now spins, and we will recognize that there are forces at work that are out of our hands. Beware of those who would try to cheat at the game, for, if ignored, they can bring calamity upon us all.

The only constant is change, and the winds of fortune may well be fickle in this year. Yet, in this flux, opportunities will open that we may not see again for a very long time. Be prepared to act quickly while fortune smiles, although it may entail upheaval.

2008

This is a powerful year for relocating, changing jobs, or making other life-altering choices. And it is a particularly favorable time for educational pursuits, publishing and other kinds of communication, as well as initiating new projects.

Ultimately, the Wheel of Fortune demands that we set aside pettiness of any sort, and focus on the big picture. The fate of the world may well depend upon our clarity, our good will, and our participation. As long we are committed to integrity, honesty, and to act for the highest good of all, luck will be with us.

Wheel of Fortune was a long-running New Zealand television game show that was last hosted by television personalityJason Gunn and co-host Sonia Gray. It was broadcast on TV2 from 1991 to 1996 and on TV ONE from 2008 to 2009.

History[edit]

1991-1996 original[edit]

The original New Zealand version of the popular American game show Wheel of Fortune was first broadcast in February 1991, on TVNZ channel TV2, at 5:30pm. The show, which was heavily modeled after Australia's version, was originally hosted by Phillip Leishman with co-host Lana Coc-Kroft, along with Grant Walker (also doing New Zealand's version of Sale of the Century at the time) as announcer. The show was later hosted by Simon Barnett.During its time the show aired on various time slots and switched between TV ONE and TV2; at the show's peak it aired in prime time on TV ONE at 7:00pm, a time slot previously used to screen Sale of the Century, but moved off this slot in 1995 when TV ONE extended their news to a one-hour show followed by Holmes. After moving to TV2 in a 6:00pm time slot the show was ultimately axed in 1996 as the show could not compete with the 6pm news shows on TV ONE and TV3.

2008-2009 return[edit]

On 14 April 2008 the New Zealand version of Wheel of Fortune returned again to TVNZ channel TV ONE. The show returned with new hosts Jason Gunn and Sonia Gray. The show now airs at 5:30pm local time. At the conclusion of filming of the 2008 season TVNZ announced the show will return in 2009 bigger and better. Additionally Jason Gunn officially announced that his co-host Sonia Gray was pregnant with twins and that she would return to co-host the show after her pregnancy. Greer Robson temporarily took Sonia's role on the show until she returned in May, 2009.

It was announced on 2 May 2009 that the series was being cancelled after only one year on air. The reasons given by TVNZ for the cancellation were lower ratings than the previous season, decreased advertising revenue and the high cost of producing the show. Lower ratings may have resulted after reformatting of the show interrupted its flow due to an increased emphasis on 'Speed Digits'. The last show was screened in June 2009.

David Tua incident[edit]

One notable episode which appears from time to time in blooper specials was boxer David Tua's game on October 10, 1992: at one point, he asked for P when buying a vowel; at another, he tried to buy a 'constonant'. He was also believed to have tried to call 'O for awesome', but in fact it was 'O for Olsen' (a reference to Olsen Filipaina), although the main problem is that he was supposed to call a consonant.[1]
