Chronicles of a Dreamworker Series
I love my intuitive work with cards, and I’ve recently felt the call to learn more about tarot. I’ve brought out my deck, borrowed Tarot Made Easy by Kim Arnold from the bliss co-op library, and am going to study a card every day. I would also love to discuss these more with others, so I’ll share one card a week and we can chat about them here!
This week’s card is The Tower.
The Tower is another card in Tarot that some people fear appearing in a reading. It represents instability, collapse, disaster, but also the opportunity to rebuild. Depending on when The Tower appears in your life can mean different things, but it always means that change is afoot.
Like the physical imagery of the card, The Tower represents a disaster waiting to happen. Whatever is collapsing now was built on a weak foundation and was destined to come down eventually. While this may feel sudden or even unexpected, The Tower represents a life long lesson we need to learn. Whatever has changed will almost certainly change your outlook on things.
Reversed The Tower can also represent avoiding change, confinement, fear of suffering or resistance. A reversed Tower card usually means we are avoiding the necessary destruction of something in our lives in order for something new and more suited to our highest and best can be built.
My approach to The Tower is to embrace it so the fall down isn’t as long and hard. This Tower is coming down regardless, so what I can learn and use to help me navigate this period of change, so when it’s time rebuild my foundation – I am ready.
While The Tower may bring destruction and change overall, we can also rest assured that whatever is crumbling is for our best interest, so it’s best to detach, release, and find a way to come out of this challenge stronger.
