Tower Card: Progress is a Spiral
This week, I found myself in some tower card templates of torment.
Same old mid-summer struggle to rest enough.
Repeats of conflicts with loved ones.
Familiar frustrations with how much news is healthy to absorb.
It’s easy to feel defeated and focus on the feelings of failure.
This is the Tower Card. Old patterns that keep coming around.
You can move towns. Break up with that person. Change jobs. Yet you find yourself rehashing the same cycles with new places, people and careers.
This is where it helps to focus on the progress that has been made.
Scariest Tarot Cards . . . DEBUNKED!
Recently, some of my reader colleagues at Portlandia Fortune Tellers and I made a reactions video of the recent horror movie Tarot (follow my new Instagram to be the first to see it!)
We knew it would present the Hanged Man with a noose and the Death card as pure mortality, which is tiresome. It also tried to creep out other archetypes like the Fool, High Priestess, and Magician, which at least felt creative.
Today I want to take a closer look at the scariest cards to get in Tarot.
Turning the Tower Card Into the Magician
This is a Tower Card moment for me, where the foundations I relied upon are showing their fractures.
I have bounced around feelings of helplessness and faith and hope and frustration.
In these shock waves, I am proud of myself for trying to use this trial as an impetus to push forward in new directions and restructure my business to gain from the wisdom of this moment. I have just paid for a top end coaching course that will help me fulfill a goal I have had for years: moving my Live Online Course that I teach twice each year into an ongoing offering made up of video lessons.
I am not sure what this will look like yet, but I do believe it will mean that this upcoming October course is the last Live Session I intend to do for a while, especially at this exceptional rate.
Who is the Fool in the Tower?
Surprise . . . You are. And so am I.
Each of us is, really.
While this question may sound like a political joke, in the Tarot it is a reference to the individual’s moment of great challenge in our most essential life lessons.
And that includes you on your own hero’s journey.
The Tower is the challenge in life that will keep coming around again and again until your inner Fool defeats it.
