The Tower

The Tower

Some readers associate this card with Scorpio / (Mars/Pluto) while others attribute it to Uranus. I can see both perspectives but to me, the Tower feels distinctly more Uranian.

The card implies a shocking, disruptive event. The chaotic imagery of the card doesn’t necessarily imply that such an event is in any way pleasant, although I know some do read this card in a positive light depending on the context.

Nevertheless, the Tower does not necessarily reflect something profoundly transformative in the same way that the Death card does. It seems to me to describe something coming quickly out of left field which requires an immediate response, and which can alter the course of one’s timeline depending on how it’s dealt with. This is very much of the nature of Uranus. While the figures in this card are obviously falling out of the Tower and are distraught, we do not know if they are falling to their deaths or if they will survive.

So I don’t really see the card as implying an automatic need for a death and rebirth process although I can certainly see how the Tower could trigger that in some circumstances. But it doesn’t feel overall Scorpionic to me. Anyway, what are your thoughts?

I appreciate you Cancer, from the heart

My cat is dying of lymphoma, and I have to put him down on Wednesday. I’ve been spending the last two days crying my eyes out.

I’m a Gemini sun Scorpio moon and I have a friend who is a Cancer Sun Gemini moon. She came over, brought pizza and wine. I didn’t ask, she offered. She wanted to, she chose to.

There’s something so amazing about that. I love that so much about Cancers, it’s just innate with you all. And I just want to say - it means so much. It really does.

This is Patrick… I don’t know when he was born because he is a rescue, but I suspect he is also a Cancer, because he has been such a sweetheart and a nurturing soul his whole life.
