Free Daily Tarotscope -- Apr 21, 2014 -- The Tower

The Tower

Today you may feel like you’re standing back and watching helplessly as everything falls apart around you.

The Tower card refers to sudden changes and upheavals, as life as you know it starts changing more rapidly than you’re capable of preparing for.

It may seem like your carefully constructed world is falling apart or that all you’ve held near and dear (and previously thought was indestructible) is no longer capable of sustaining you.

In most renditions of the card — including this one — the “tower” is a literal fortress that’s been struck by lightning and is crashing to the cliffs below. People are falling out of the structure while flames and smoke shoot from the shattered windows.

Yet if you consider the source of the destruction — the one earth shattering lightning bolt — you can see how it lights the whole sky, making everything momentarily clear.

It is this flash of insight that all of us need to be paying attention to, especially as Pluto and Uranus tighten their astrological grip (and form an exact square) today.

The Tower card — as with a Pluto / Uranus aspect — can manifest literally as catastrophe and upheaval. This aspect conjures up images of natural disasters (earthquakes, tsunamis, volcano eruptions, etc.) But it can also manifest figuratively and psychologically, as in purging and healing from deep psychic wounds.

Notice the angels at the top and bottom of the card, essentially surrounding the tower and its inhabitants. You may feel like you have no control over the events in your life right now, but rest assured that that there are blessings in the midst of so much chaos and uncertainty.

The challenge with the Tower card is to prepare yourself to both embrace change and to surrender to a higher power. While neither of these are easy, they do propel you toward your destiny, and that can never be a bad thing.

The card used for today’s tarotscope is part of a privately commissioned tarot project by prolific artist Kim Waters. For more information on Kim or to purchase prints from her collection, check out her website.
