The elements of the cards are Fire (Ten of Wands) and Fire (Wheel of Fortune). Two cards of the same element strengthen and boost each other. Depending on the situation, fire with fire can either make or break a situation . The Ten of Wands has gathered all the fiery energy of its suite, but energy is now being exhausted, so it's easy for the Wheel of Fortune to work its magic and bring about change, without too much resistance.
