The spider is the weaver of fate: patience, creation, the web of connections that binds people and events. It can also be the one who traps. In dreams it shows what you are building patiently, and where you feel caught.
When the dream feels light
A spider weaving its web speaks of creativity, patience and a plan that is slowly coming together.
When the dream feels dark
A large or crawling spider may point to a person who controls you, a sticky situation, or anxiety that weaves itself around everything.
Ask yourself
What am I weaving, and where am I caught in someone else’s web?

The card of this dream
Wheel of Fortune. The turning of fate: one cycle closes, another opens. The Wheel of Fortune turns in the sky, carried by the sphinx and the serpent, with the four living creatures reading in the corners. It is fate, cycles and change: the wheel turns, luck shifts, and a new chapter begins.
