Two cards, many thoughts

Shuffling her Hanson-Roberts deck with an eye on choosing a card for the day, The Tower caught Miss Michele's eye.

Miss Michele hates this card. It's her least favorite in the deck, as it signifies surprises--and rarely good ones! I shuffled more and drew a card from the center of the deck.

The Tower. Sigh.

With the state of mind I've been in, however, a shake-up that destroys the status quo could be just what I need. Nothing is *wrong*. Life is fine. I am just feeling sorry for myself for no good reason.

Refusing to accept the Tower for the day, though, and hoping to gain additional insight, I drew a second card.

There's no way around it. Today will be a big day, a turning point of some sort. I'm not sure how or why, but it will be. The Emperor came up. More male energy, more discipline.
A need to adhere to rules, get the job done, and act responsibly. The card also warns against excess (excess play? Sloth?)

Incidentally, fours are related to the sign Aquarius, Miss Michele's sign! Okay, okay, I understand this is "all me" already! :)It's all in my hands.

It's been quiet as far as reader comments/requests lately.

Miss Michele would like to remind everyone that we still offer FREE three-card readings here, and have a New Year's special going on with a 13-card spread for only $10.

Be well!

Hi Miss Michele. I'm a lurker on the Absolute Write forums and noticed your invitation to stop by for a free reading, so here I am!

I have a HUGE decision to make and it's wearing me down. I want to leave my soul-sucking (but well compensated) corporate communications job and try my hand at freelance writing, but I worry if this is the right move for me/my family. Financially we'll be ok for a year, but frankly, I'm scared/worried that I'll fail miserably and end up looking for another corporate job - and I won't find one that pays as well as the one I'm thinking of leaving. Staying part-time isn't an option - it's all or nothing. I'll be more at peace once my decision's made. What do the cards show?

Every time I've pulled the Tower, despite my very very meager tarot reading skills, I know I'm in for a nasty ride....

In fact, I can't really think of a time that I pulled the Tower and nothing upsetting happened. Usually it was for the better. Eventually.

(Well, once it wasn't.)

Arachne,
That's been my experience, too. But the day is almost over. Aside from a few personal epiphanies, nothing earthshattering has occured.

I guess it's not good for a tarot reader to be "wrong" but in this case, if I was, I'm glad about it!

It is possible that the 'event' that called the tower DID happen but you won't be aware of its impact today. (With the Emperor clarifying I'd wonder if it involves a male family member or friend?)

The change of the tower always has a direction that moves you forward so don't dread it. It is a card that calls for preparation and isn't actually as destructive as it looks.

Absolutely, Rebecca. In fact, a close friend of mine who also reads tarot read this post and said he was the Emperor. He didn't know HOW, but he was. I guess we'll find out.

Wait...something *did* happen late at night that was a bit of a shock and slightly changes my career path, pushing me toward a new niche market. I wonder if that was it? The person involved is sooo not the Emperor however. LOL
