#are you from pinner

The Tower is one of the most feared cards in the Tarot, and for good reason. Few people love change, and the Tower is nothing but change. Even fewer people like sudden change, and it is true that the type of upheaval this card brings is the kind that strikes out of nowhere. You didn’t see it coming. You should have seen it coming, but you didn’t. When you stay cocooned in denial, when you refuse to face reality, when you shy away from making the life changes you need to make in order to grow, the Tower will show up for you. How painful this card is will depend on how tightly you cling to the walls that are falling down. This card demands complete letting go—a tough order for anyone, but especially for one taken by surprise, or one who has been consciously or unconsciously resisting change for quite a while. At the heart of the Tower lies revelation. Either you or someone who impacts you has experienced a sudden clarity—a truly paradigm-shifting understanding has arrived. There is nothing to do but change in accordance with this new information, no matter how devastating it might be.… When all the debris and rubble are cleared and the smoke fades from the sky, the Tower offers you a way of living that is much more in accordance with your heart and mind. The structures that the Tower brings down are always things that need to go—unhealthy connections, bad living situations, dead-end jobs, lousy lifestyles.
