Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with tarot cards for a while now, and let me tell you, some readings really stick with you. The other day, I had a real “tower moment,” and I figured I’d share what went down, how it felt, and what I did to get through it. Maybe it’ll help someone else who’s staring down the barrel of a major life upheaval.
It all started like any other day. I woke up, made some coffee, and decided to do a quick reading before diving into work. I shuffled my deck, focused on a general question about my life path, and pulled three cards. The first two were pretty chill, indicating some minor challenges and the need for balance. But then, boom, there it was: The Tower. Now, if you know anything about tarot, you know this card isn’t exactly a party. It’s all about sudden change, chaos, and stuff crumbling around you.
My heart kinda sank, you know? I immediately started feeling anxious, thinking about all the things in my life that could potentially fall apart. My job? My relationship? My living situation? It was like a wave of dread just washed over me. I started thinking about the worst-case scenarios. But then, I remembered something I’d read about The Tower. It’s not just about destruction; it’s also about breaking down old structures to make way for something new. It’s about clearing out the things that are no longer serving you, even if it’s painful in the short term.

So, instead of freaking out, I took a deep breath and decided to face the music. I spent the rest of the day really reflecting on my life. I made a list of things that were causing me stress, things I wasn’t happy with, and things I wanted to change. It wasn’t easy, and I definitely shed a few tears in the process, but it was also incredibly liberating. It felt like I was finally acknowledging some truths I’d been avoiding for a while.
The next step was figuring out what to do about it. I started by making small changes. I cleaned my house, got rid of a bunch of junk, and reorganized my workspace. It might seem silly, but it really helped me feel more in control. I also started setting boundaries with people who were draining my energy and prioritizing my own needs for once.
- Woke up and made coffee.
- Decided to do a tarot reading.
- Shuffled the deck and pulled three cards.
- Saw The Tower card and felt anxious.
- Reflected on the meaning of the card.
- Made a list of things to change in my life.
- Cleaned and reorganized my space.
- Set boundaries and prioritized my needs.
Over the next few weeks, some tough stuff did happen. I had a major falling out with a friend, and a project I was working on at work completely fell apart. But you know what? I handled it. I didn’t fall apart like I thought I would. In fact, I felt stronger and more resilient than ever before. It was like The Tower had cleared away the weak foundations in my life, leaving me with a solid base to build on.
It’s been a few months now, and I’m still in the process of rebuilding. But I can honestly say that the “tower moment” was one of the best things that ever happened to me. It forced me to confront my fears, let go of what wasn’t working, and create space for something new and better. It was a tough lesson, but one I’m incredibly grateful for.
So, if you pull The Tower card in a reading, don’t panic. Take a deep breath, and remember that change, even when it’s scary, can be a good thing. It’s an opportunity to grow, to learn, and to build a life that’s more authentic and fulfilling. Embrace the chaos, and trust that you’ll come out stronger on the other side.
