Interpretation of the tarot card: The Devil – The Tower – Death
It is human nature to want to see the future. To see what is coming, before it comes. It’s the reason many people get readings from tarot readers, hoping to get a glimpse of what life has in store for them. While tarot reading offers you an idea of what awaits you. Reading provides information about where you are, where you have been, and where you are going. It is my personal experience that the 3 most challenging cards in the Tarot deck are, The Devil, The Tower and Death.
These cards can provoke fear or a sense of impending doom. This is logical, due to preconceptions and false symbolism of what these cards actually represent. The devil is the opposite of God or evil. The Tower represents a solid foundation that collapses and collapses in destruction. Whereas, of course, death is equated with the end of life and the unknown. When faced with any of these things, most people feel danger and a sense of fear. These cards really represent the truth. They allow us to see the fears that we already have within us, and how by becoming aware of those fears, it allows us to move forward in life.
The Devil: While many have a vision of the devil as a horned beast that creates massive destruction, in fact this card speaks of the ego in each of us. Most humans have some form of shadow or dark side. These dark sides generally represent temptations, choices, and decisions that we make in our daily lives. For example, I was a terrible drunk and yet I kept drinking, in that process I repeatedly hurt the people I love, the Devil in a reading for me was telling me that if I continued to make the same decision, knowing that it brings chaos to my life, I will surely continue to suffer the same result, over and over again. However, the message remains clear, it is my choice. This does not apply to any addiction or temptation, but to any action or choice that leads to the same painful or uncomfortable results. Recognizing these choices are the ones that, after making them, are likely to leave you feeling; guilt, shame, anger, or lack of confidence. It simply tells us that life offers us unlimited options, if we know that one hurts us, then we look for another option, one that builds character and strength, and makes us feel self-respect and self-esteem.
The Tower: This is a card of great change and disruption. The card shows a beaten and crumbling Tower, a shaking of the very foundation on which it stands. For a person in a reading, there may come a time when we are not particularly wishing or expecting a change. This can happen in any area of your life. You may have been working the same job for 10 years. As long as he makes a living, he doesn’t find any real satisfaction in the work he does. It could come as a change in a relationship, which has so far offered security and comfort, but is devoid of passion or happiness. It could be that you have lived in the same house for years, although you never liked the house, it was affordable. These are areas of life that if they change suddenly we can feel overwhelmed. For example, if you work at a job you don’t like and stay for the money, you may suddenly find that the company is downsizing and letting you go, or you may return home to find that your partner from all over the world Life has decided that it is no longer happy and I have moved in with someone else. You get a notice from your landlord that they are selling the house you are renting and that means you have to move. Any of these things can make us afraid of the unknown. At that moment we feel unsure of what we will do and we wonder why this is happening to us. These are examples of the Tower tremor. It is sending us a message that we are holding on to something out of fear. The Universe is going to make us move. What we do with that unexpected interruption will determine whether we are really paying attention. We can do what we’ve always done and get what we’ve always gotten. Take another job that is the same as the previous one. You can find another partner who has the same personality traits as the last partner. You can move into the house at the end of the street that is the same price and keeps you in the same area. Or you can think about each of those things and understand that you are being asked to observe the change. An opportunity to find a job doing something you love. Start a new relationship where you will find true happiness and passion (even if this represents a new relationship with yourself). You might think about moving to a place you never imagined, just to see what it would be like. These changes may seem impossible the moment we first feel the shaking. However, if you listen to what you really want, you can feel empowered to take risks that offer you limitless possibilities.
Death – Upon receiving the death letter in a reading, you may suddenly feel afraid that you, or someone around you, might come to literal death. Usually this card has nothing to do with literal death. Death is part of life that eventually happens to all of us. This card speaks to Death in a way of. Reaching a place within ourselves that allows us to see the established patterns and beliefs that we have lived with for years. These recorded thought processes that have developed from a painful childhood and / or many other factors. You may never have thought that there was any other way than the only one you’ve always lived in. The Death card tells you that there are other ways. Rebirth says you can change those thought patterns that may have told you that you are not good enough, not valuable enough, not strong enough, into a new right of way. Faith is not necessarily a particular belief system, but it has a lot to do with faith in oneself, in others, and in the Universe. If you have lived life as a victim, perhaps holding on to negative experiences, you may feel that you have endured more of the pain that is due to you, and it is not fair, you feel resentment and therefore you never help others because others do not help . you. So rebirth could be a time to look beyond yourself, to think about how you could serve others. By allowing yourself a new way of being, you can suddenly go from victim to healer. This letter asks you to remember yourself, as you were when you entered the world, vulnerable and innocent as we all were. In reality, that never changes, the only thing that changes is the way we see ourselves and others. If we can allow ourselves to embrace that state of innocence once again. We are given the opportunity to start over, and just as you once believed you deserved pain and pain, you may find yourself worthy of Love, Compassion, and much more.
So the next time you find yourself receiving a reading and you receive one of these auspicious cards, take heart, you are being given the gift of awareness in some area of your life. Like DNA, a tarot reading is as unique as the person being read. You are given the opportunity to go inside where you can discover what each of those cards represents to you.
