If you cooperate with your life changes at this time, you will feel electric, as if there is divine momentum propelling you forward on your path. Although you may feel not very sure about where your path is heading, this card indicates that it can only get better from here.

What is the clearing making room for?
The individuals tumbling from the Tower are trapped by their own making. They constructed walls around themselves that grew higher and higher, disconnecting them from reality. The Tower's expanding size numbed them to the world outside, where change and loss occur. In denial, they believed nothing sad ever happened, declaring, "I'm great!" The lightning on the card represents the Universe's inevitable crisis that will jolt them awake and compel them to heal.
Despite its destructive appearance, the Tower is one of the most therapeutic tarot cards. It forces us to acknowledge our pain and feelings. The Tower is a cathartic card, allowing old wounds to be felt and released for healing. In that way, the Tower frees us from being prisoners of our past. Avoiding challenges doesn't make us strong, but facing them does.
A new day is dawning for you, but you can't take the same old baggage with you.
Accept the changes that are happening right now, they are timely and truly for the best. This card position often feels like a hurricane just ran through your life, and now you are charged with the duty to clean it all up. The thing you must keep in mind is that the storm is over. It is time to move forward and not be fixated on what has just changed. There will be time enough in the future to emotionally process your recent transformation. For now, you must stay clear and focused on what your priority is at this time.
Upright or reversed, this card advises you to throw out what you don't need anymore, either in your environment, or in your head. The changes you are experiencing will feel traumatic if you resist them. Accept what the Universe is presenting you and summon your courage. There is unseen magic at play in your life right now that will be revealed with hindsight. The changes accompanying this card are swift. The storm clouds will clear as they always do, you’ll see!
