So, when you translate this into English, it might be more accurate to say "Fortune goes around," in the sense of being round in the way that a wheel is round, going up and down. It is the going up and down of Fortune that is the dominant idea here, which is expressed visually in the icon of the "Wheel of Fortune." As the wheel goes up, your fortunes rise... but what goes up, must come down, and so as Fortune's wheel rises for some, it is at the same time going down for others, plunging them into the depths of misfortune.
