Why do I keep pulling the Tower?

Oh, I know this one in my bones. Years ago I pulled the Tower five readings in a row, and I was sure the sky was about to fall. It didn't. What fell was a story I had been holding up with both hands.

The Tower keeps returning when some part of you already knows a structure in your life is built on something that isn't true anymore — a role you've outgrown, a plan you keep defending out of habit, a relationship shaped around who you used to be. The card isn't causing the crack. It's showing you the crack you've been painting over.

Here is what I sense when it repeats: the longer we brace against it, the louder it gets. The moment you name the thing that feels shaky — out loud, or on paper — the card tends to quiet down, because the message has been received.

So ask yourself gently: what am I working hardest to keep from changing? That answer is usually where the lightning wants to land. And remember, after the Tower comes the Star. Every time.
