The Tower Month

Fire

This month your card is the Tower. Something is disrupted, or is about to be. The energy is electric and the footing is less certain than last month. The thing to watch: the Tower month can produce a panic response that treats the disruption as catastrophe before it's finished declaring what it is. Wait for the dust to show you what fell. Some of it needed to. Then see what's standing.

The card behind the month

Your month card is The Tower, one of the twenty-two Majors. Here’s what it means at full length.

The Tower is the part of life that collapses what was never going to hold. It is sudden change, revelation, the crash that clears the ground. It destroys what was false so something true can stand where it stood.
