The Tower Card: A Powerful Archetype for What’s Happening in the World Today

View fullsize

“The elders have sent me here to tell you that now is like a great, rushing river. And this will be experienced in many different ways. There are those who would hold onto the shore—there is no shore. The shore is crumbling. Push off into the middle of the river.” Choquosh, Native American Storyteller

I used this quote in my book Essence of the Tarot: Modern Reflections on Ancient Wisdom to describe the Tower card. I include it here, because it feels more relevant now than ever before--as does the Tower archetype. The Tower represents the destruction of old, outworn structures that no longer serve us. This extreme dismantling is to make way for new ways of thinking and being, ones that are more in alignment with humanity and the greater good of the planet.   

Our world is towering. The fundamental structures, some would say patriarchal structures, institutions and systems we have all grown to rely upon are collapsing. Healthcare, government, law, education, commerce, religion…the list goes on and on. They are falling apart because they are no longer sustainable and perhaps never truly served us. They have become obsolete.

By its very nature, destruction implies chaos, and what the Tower card teaches us is that we must learn to embrace the chaos as a part of the growth. We are all being challenged to deeply look at what is true and essential--personally and universally. By doing so, consciously and with an open mind and heart, then slowly, a process of healing can begin.

A key element to this archetype is to not rebuild too quickly. Our first instinct may be to try to put things into some kind of order, to take control, but this dismantling will take time. On a personal level, if something in your life is not working, if it has fallen away, be willing to let it go, or put it aside until you have new clarity. This is a process of patience and surrender, having faith in something greater than you now know.

From the ashes rises the phoenix! The card following the Tower is the Star card, an archetype representing higher destiny and a new paradigm. This is much like the idea of the “Age of Aquarius”, a new eon of unity and coming together as one. We are beginning to see the Star’s light now as it begins to shine through the cracks in the Tower’s foundations. Stay strong, be hopeful and look for the guiding light in the darkness.

The Empress ~ Divine Beauty!

Tarot Tuesday! The card for the week is the Empress, representing: Love, relationship, wisdom and beauty. The Empress is a divinely sensual creature. She is the embodiment of love, in both its earthly and celestial forms. The Empress is in full bloom - sated, accomplished and realized. She has experienced the richness of life, and its perpetual give and take. She is comfortable in her own skin, which is the essence of true beauty. As a result, many are attracted to her luminosity and abundant embrace. 

This is a time to explore how you wish to experience love. As you value yourself and your loving gifts, you create more fulfilling relationships. Open your heart and enjoy the love you desire and deserve.

Wishing you a divinely abundant week!

The King of Coins ~ Embrace Abundance!

Tarot Tuesday! The card for the week is the King of Coins, representing: Financial stability, investments, health and harvest. The King of Coins has mastered the material world. He is someone who others look to for his wisdom, especially in regards to finances, health and creating security. This King indicates that you are on the path to success, as you fully embody your power in the “real” world.

Coins represent the realm of Earth, and in addition to money and finances, they also relate to our physical wellbeing. This king indicates at time make your health a priority, and invest in a physically abundant life. When in doubt, seek the guidance of a trusted healer to help you get on the right track. Here, prosperity comes from a healthy life: body, mind and spirt.

 Wishing you a prosperous week!

The Eight of Cups ~ Don't Give Into Despair!

Tarot Tuesday! The card for the week is the Eight of Cups, representing: Stagnation, emotional blockage, regret and release. The Eight of Cups is a dark night of the soul as you experience a weariness, a feeling of emotional and spiritual exhaustion. Life has become a burden, leading to stagnation, even hopelessness. This card warns of getting caught up in bitterness or disappointments about “what should have been.” Your regrets can become an endless compulsion. 

 Let go of the past, especially old expectations that are no longer valid. The time has come to recognize unfulfilling relationships that are draining you. It takes strength to no longer participate in soul depleting situations. Use the wisdom of your past experiences, set new boundaries and move forward. 

 Is this card perfect for the current Scorpio Mercury Retrograde or what?!

 Wishing you a week of renewal and release!
