Let's begin looking into your future

This week’s card from the Major Arcana is one that often brings a feeling of dread but The Tower is often interpreted unjustly. This card corresponds to the planet Mars and this will be moving into the star sign of Cancer this week. Mars brings a high level of dynamism to the table but the rough edges are smoothed by Cancer’s stand on preserving the status quo. To be fair, the appearance of The Tower often warns that you should expect the unexpected and that this will be an event that completely changes your direction in life – almost like the rug being pulled from under you. However, it also suggests that change needs to take place and it is pointless to resist this progression; but, before that change can be accommodated, you are advised to do some housecleaning by removing physical clutter from your surroundings but also to let go of any outmoded beliefs, behaviours, habits and thought patterns that have been holding you back. Don’t resist the changes, go with them as they will benefit you in the longer term but change is always painful – moving on from the safe and familiar and entering a period of uncertainty and unknown. This is a necessary process that will underpin your spiritual development and enable you to access the truth and openness that will come. The Mars/Cancer alliance will enable you to accomplish a great deal, particularly where the home environment is concerned, for example starting or finishing a long-overdue home improvement task.
