Readings
Two Cards
If you are trying to make a very important decision in your life and you don’t know which path to follow, if you are really doubtful about the consequences the crossroads tarot spread will help you to find your way.
The Tower
Upright
Sudden change, upheaval, chaos, revelation, awakening
When the Tower card is shown in a Tarot reading, something unexpected will happen – massive transformation, outbreak, destruction or chaos. It may be a divorce, financial bankruptcy, health problems, job failure or any event that shakes you to your core, affecting you in deep levels. Change is hereabouts to shred everything up, create chaos (but you should remember that it’s for your Highest Good).
Just when you’re safe in your comfort zone, a Tower moment strikes and throws you out of the loop. A sudden lightning bolt of insight cuts through the illusions you have been telling yourself, and now the truth comes to the surface. Your world may come tumbling down before you, in ways you could never have dreamed as you realize that you have been developing your life on weak foundations – false theories, mistruths, illusions, obvious lies, and so on. You are now questioning what is real and what you can rely upon and what you cannot believe. This can be very complicated because your core belief systems are tested. But, you will understand that your fundamental assumptions were built on a piece of false knowledge, and your new belief systems are more close to reality.
The best approach is to allow this destruction to happen so you can re-build. And with the Tower, you have no option but to surrender to the chaos, no matter how painful. This destruction will enable new growth to start.
After a Tower moment, you will be stronger and wiser. This moment is important for your spiritual maturity, even if you feel pain and stress during it.
Also, the Tower doesn’t always need to be a painful experience. If you are aware and in tune with your intuition, then this Tarot card can symbolize spiritual rebirth. You may be able to see the cracks appearing and take action before the whole comes falling down. You may create a huge alteration before you attain a position where transformation is your only choice.
Reversed
Personal transformation, fear of change, averting disaster
The Reversed Tower hints that you are undergoing a meaningful personal conversion. This differs from the upright Tower where the change is because of external factors and may even seem forced upon you. Instead, with the reversed Tower card, you are urging the change and questioning your underlying belief system. Or, in more dramatic states, you may go through an existential crisis where you severely question your life’s goal. While this can be an unsettling experience, trust in the process and know it is for the most beneficial. You are creating transformation so you can step into a developed version of yourself.
Sometimes, the reversed Tower can be a warning that you are holding change and denying the inevitable destruction. However, you need to go through this hard time to learn a worthy lesson. And know that if you continue to hold this transformation, it will only push its way into your life more strongly.
Finally, the reversal of the Tower can decrease the influence of the transformation about to happen in your life.
Five of Pentacles
Upright
Financial loss, poverty, lack mindset, isolation, worry
The Five of Pentacles card symbolizes loss and poverty. Particularly when it comes to your finances and physical properties, you are hitting tough times. You may have lately lost your work, your house, or your economic security. This is a Minor Arcana card with short effects and it will pass.
In this time of poverty, the Five of Pentacles shows that you feel lonely and discarded. Similarly to the two people on the card, you feel as if you have been abandoned in the cold However, as the light from windows is lit up, help is approaching, but you are too focused on your difficulties to see.
Sometimes, the Five of Pentacles hints that you are undermining your capacity to create wealth because you only concentrate on what you miss and what is going wrong. To change this energy, search for proof of what you do own, and show your thankfulness for those advantages in your life. The good aspects will increase by time and, ‘need’ will be a thing of history.
Furthermore, the Five of Pentacles implies that you worry you don’t possess fairly or you may lose things valuable to you – even if it hasn’t occurred still or is absurd. If you continue thinking about all the negative stuff that might occur, then your manifesting energies may start to produce the results that you don’t like.
Reversed
Recovery from financial loss, spiritual poverty
The reversed Five of Pentacles shows an end to difficult times, particularly if you have recently experienced a major job or finances problem. You may find new origins of revenue or a new job. Eventually, you can see a way out of your economic problems and your confidence is restored.
The reversed Five of Pentacles can sometimes explain the resolution of emotional poverty. You may feel like something is missing but it is hard to put your finger on what it might be. You may also feel alone, even in a group of people.
If you find your obsession with physical possessions is creating harm to your soul, then it’s time to end. Even if you have little money, you may still have a caring family and a beating heart. Yes, everything sucks right now, but if you hear these scarcity thoughts coming through in your mind, pause for a second and question whether this is the fact or a limiting view. Trust that the Divine is here to help you, particularly when you are pursuing your inner calling and your life mission. When you actually appreciate something, you’ll make it occur.
