It's tough, otherwise it's not the Tower. Your boss fires you, your romantic love interest hurts you, stuff breaks, the earth beneath your feet shakes. You live to regret it but the dams broke and you know yourself better afterwards.Įnergies from outside are others whose destructive powers burst upon you, or impersonal events. Energies from inside are anger and suppressed negative feelings - the kind of anger that makes you take your favourite vase and smash it on the floor, or break off a good friendship. The Tower can work with inside and outside energies. But in the Tower, this energy is unbridled. Mars has also a positive side, you'll find it in the Emperor where it's under strong discipline and guidance. It's quick, it's aggressive, it can be destructive. I shakes your foundations, your confidence, and it's very uncomfortable. The important thing is to deal with it properly, deal with it somehow, continue to live with hope, learn from the difficult stuff. There are bad surprises, upheavals, there is jealousy, heartbreak, disappointment - none of us goes through life without it. Whatever card you pull, it's all uplifting, empowering, illuminating.

We all know the oracles with 100% positive cards. In my personal opinion, one of the great things about the tarot is that it doesn't sugarcoat things. Many people fear the "bad" cards because they bring bad news, or seem to.
