To this question, I drew the card of The Tower.
Here’s another card that’s pretty descriptive by its picture alone. The card of The Tower is associated with sudden and drastic change, and with the unexpected upheavals we encounter that shake us to the core. In respect to my question, I think this card presents two potential answers. The first, while not providing specific advice, suggests that whatever course you might choose to take, it would take a great deal of concerted effort to alter the existing state of the relationship. The Tower suggests that such change would not come easily, and that it would be “unsettling” for all concerned. In this context, one Tarot author says, “every pretense, disguise, and empty ideal, every foundation built on illusion, must be incinerated, brought to rubble, before…renovation can begin.”
The other possible interpretation, I believe, is that the card does provide you with a very specific answer: That at this time, at least, the situation is beyond your control, with at least some suggestion that the “foundations” have already been struck by lightning, and perhaps beyond repair – at least for now. Another author offers a slightly different perspective, when she says, “In fact, you may feel tremendous release that you have finally been forced in a new direction.” (This could also mirror some of the themes of the Judgement card, in a present-tense sort of way.)
