Personal Experience with The Tower: July 8th, 2014

What can help me achieve my goals this coming year?-The Tower It’s time to shake things up!  The Tower advises me to let go of old ways of doing things, tear down old structures and habits, and rebuild with only those blocks that will create a new stable structure for me. This compliments my Emperor year card, in that I am trying to build a new lifestyle and it will function and grow best if it is built upon a solid foundation.  I would love to believe that I will have a sudden revelation or epiphany Tower moment and just know how to be successful and sustainable, but I’m not going to hold my breath for that lighting strike of inspiration.  The Tower can be something that you work for though, it can be a cathartic destruction that you self-create. The past ways of doing things do not apply to my current situation and I have to trust that a new way can be found. I have that IX of Wands determination and the High Priestess intuition that can make this new lifestyle amazing.  I welcome The Tower as a cleansing force in my life right now that can sweep away previous habits and help me clear the air for a new methods of doing things.  The Tower is a scary image but it is a healthy approach to a new beginning, I don’t want to take any preconceived ideas of what should be, but let what is develop.
