2. The Tower

Tue Jan 28, 2025, 11:13 PM

Jan 28

was originally called "the lightning struck tower" . It implies a bolt out of the blue causing destruction of a castle. It means unexpected fortune, either for good or hardship. Usually, but not always, negative. Today was definitely a tower moment.

Swords are related to the Air element, the mind. The Eight implies being tied up by circumstances and making it worse for yourself by your own choices. The Swords suit in the Tarot has the most "bad" cards followed by the Cups (Water).

Any questions on the Tarot or the meaning of individual cards...if you just google it a whole bunch of good info will come up, unless AI is screwing with it now, of course lol. Google free Tarot reading and a very good site comes up, among others.
