If 2020 defined itself with one tarot card, this would be it. The Tower represents sudden and unexpected change. You may not have been looking for it, but change is here. For a lot of us, because of the events of the past 9 months, our old lives have been turned upside down and burned to the ground. The devastation and feelings of brokenness and loss are real. But The Tower’s message is at its essence one of hope. Like the phoenix, we can rise from the ashes and reclaim our creative power.

We can only know what we can truly imagine.
Finally what we see comes from ourselves.
Marge Piercy
You may not have been looking for it, but change is here. The Tower is a sure sign that your life is about to be turned upside down and burned to the ground. This can be scary, because it’s usually unexpected. But the good news is that it will open up the floodgates of change and renewal, and your creative river will begin flowing again.
You may find the process of change painful, but if you can remind yourself to trust the process, you’ll come through stronger. When your routine or way of thinking gets dismantled, it’s a sign that it’s time to rebuild and become stronger.
Maybe you got a rejection on a manuscript. Maybe you got feedback telling you that those minor revisions you thought you needed actually add up to a complete rewrite. Remember that sometimes you have to allow the structure to crumble to the ground so that you can be sure all the weak spots have been found. Then you can rebuild something stronger and more magnificent in its place.
