The Tower Card: The Tarot Arcane for the April 2019

April 2019 Arcane

The Energy Forecast for the month of April brings The Tower Card to the forefront.

The Tarot Arcane of The Month of April 2019 – The Tower – Sudden Change

The Tower Card is possibly the most dreaded card of the Tarot. In fact, along with the Death card, The Tower represents significant changes, disruptions, losses, and transformations, each in its way. However, today we will address the changes brought about by the Tower Card, the 16th Arcanum of the Tarot.

The arcane scares us because it shows an abrupt and radical tumble. The lightning comes from above and knocks down the castle all at once. The people we see on the chart are falling straight to the ground. Nothing else remains in its place, and there is no way of escaping it.

 

The Tower Card and the Nature of Change

To live a moment governed by the tower is like being in an earthquake. The ground shakes so hard it seems we have no place to hold us. The structures are crumbling, and nothing is going to stay where it was. Then comes fear. Fear of what we’re missing and we’re still going to miss. Fear of living the unknown, of losing structures, of living in insecurity. Fear of not living with the known, with what we have built for so long. The fact is that there is nothing to do. When the thunderbolt falls, we have nothing left but to throw ourselves down to the ground, where we will end, anyway.

In the case of the Tarot for April 2019, The Tower Card indicates a radical and sudden change, which usually causes great fear to those who may suffer it.

The card effects and represents the people who hate any modification in their routines. What turns them into accommodated beings and who do not want complications in life. Right, but who wants it?

The difference here is that these people, even living day by day in a methodical way, are not comfortable with their everyday life. However, the fear they have in exchanging the right for the dubious is much higher – even if it is the dissatisfaction and doubtful that leads you by the way much better and happier.

What should be clear is that in this life, without risk there is no reward. A sudden change is something to respect, but it also means the beginning of something new, perhaps even an opportunity we’ve been waiting for years. You may have to accept the situation and adapt to the new normal.

The image of this Tarot Card with a tower struck by lightning is quite explicit. Lightning hits the top, and two people fall to the ground along with the remains of stones and debris generated by the sudden explosion.

It is certain that the lightning can come as much from outside as from inside the tower. This ambiguity would symbolize both a change of life from the outside to the inside, a change seething within the heart and capable of generating an internal “explosion.” The explosion in both cases is what causes you to change the way you understand and regard life with a new perspective.

Sometimes the Tower Card can even be interpreted as a sexual exaltation, where the desires and repressed impulses of a person end up exploding and releasing all the energy contained by fear – of being judged or misinterpreted, for example.

 

The Tower Card and Explosions at Any Time

Arcane number 16, the Tower Card may indicate that we are going through a critical period and that at any moment it may explode and come down. Although such situations provoke fear and anguish, they also indicate that after the storm, calm and a new and hopeful time will arise.

The pattern may reflect in work, where you may lose the job you both enjoy or have some related impact on in your work life. Something similar can happen to health. It will be familiar to come across accident victims or even go through problems such as breaking a limb, for example.

Of course, this month is not the best time to spend or invest money. If this happens, it will be radically and unexpectedly. Here the news is good! If you play the lottery or participate in any prize or loyalty program, you may receive a cash amount from them.

The Message of the Tower Card

Inspired by the Tower of Babel, this arcane is thrilling with the representativeness of arrogance. On several occasions, we may believe we are right, and we can’t seem to see other possibilities and facts around you.

A Tower Card comes in to help us to let go of the present cycle and build a new one. The Tarot card for April 2019will promotes this detachment with kindness. Its appearance is a warning that there will be drastic changes along the way, which should practically force you to face problems and unforeseen challenges.

It’s time to work on humility better and accept that sometimes we were the wrong one.
