Yesterday was our first taste of it. Our first taste of disaster.
Maybe. Maybe not for you.
Moon in Cancer. Mars in Libra. Uranus and Pluto finish out this fast moving Cardinal Cross. Add Jupiter too.
This morning I pulled three cards for myself. Page of Wands okay. Strength: super. And then the Tower. Uh-oh. I want to quote both Rachel Pollack and Elizabeth Bishop. When I’m around, a poem is rarely far behind although I’m a bit out of practice these days.
When push comes to shove, THIS IS WHAT I WANT. Can you say that about your life today? This is what I want. This is who I want. This is what I am WILLING (yes willing) to work with. If you can say YES to all that, then you are poised primed ready Freddy for the mega-transits of 2014. If not, you’ll be coaxed, coerced, cajoled (into someone else’s idea) and possibly Tower-ed.
I don’t mean this to be a doom and gloom post. I can only speak for myself. The last few days gave me so much insight (thank you Full Moon!) and information that… at the very least… I’m more CLEAR than I was a week ago.
When you see or feel the energy of the Tower in your life, ask yourself: have I raised a prison around me?
“If we cannot free ourselves peacefully, then the forces of life will arrange an explosion… The point is only that given no other outlets, the unconscious will erupt all around us, and that we can use this experience to find a better balance.”
And, here, from Ms. Bishop, the poem One Art (and this poem does have stanzas. The formatting got messed up when I cut/pasted.)

I want to not feel afraid when I see the Tower. And yet I believe that if you do not feel afraid when you see the Tower, you clearly haven’t experienced the Tower – not really – in your life. Because the Tower IS scary. It IS upheaval. It IS crisis, sickness, loss, death. The Tower are those howling cries. Have you howled? When you’ve cried? If not, then you haven’t had your Tower fall yet. And maybe you never will. Maybe you aren’t quite… alive enough. Hmm.
So much for not writing a doom and gloom blog post. Sorry about that. BUT…
I did also pull the Strength card, remember. Here we see “the unconscious released and calmed, tamed by the direction of conscious understanding… the inner strength to confront yourself calmly and without fear.”
Do THE WORK now and the only Towers falling will be what needed to be released anyway, painlessly, and with grace.

The tower presents our fears of losing everything we’ve built up but the reality is the tower only crashes down if the foundation isn’t right. We can’t hold on anyway so we must surrender to the fall. It’ll be ok although it doesn’t seem that way at first. My last tower card came during the eclipse and while i’m not sure about the future I feel amazing. I have possibility and love growing in my life and all that was trapping me is gone. But the key for me was taking the reigns. I wasn’t under the rubble I walked away from it. Walking away really is the hardest but with Uranus direct I know I’m walking towards something better.
We just moved.
In the middle of a blizzard.
Plants, animals, belongings etc O-M-F-G
I was told so much TRUTH about a situation I was completely blind to- I don’t even know what to think. Except that there might not be a “we” shortly.
I really don’t think TOWER is over yet.
And I don’t even know what the next card is.
Pray for everybody.
OXOXO + PEACE

Such a great post, I got so much out of this. Funny for me I kept seeing The Tower call all of this year just gone and it was stretched out of a whole year for me, and yes there were tears but the transformation I am feeling now is worth every one.
