This is for Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Still catching up...
My Intuitive Interpretation
The Tower is, for me, not so much a card about total destruction (which it is), but for what comes afterwards: the rebuilding. Totally tear down whatever methods you have been using (which aren't working anyway) and start anew.
What Dictionary of Tarot Says
- Case: The power of utterance (this traditionally refers to the Tower of Babel).
- Christian: Ruin, punishment of pride, the downfall of the spirit that attempt to discover the mystery of God, reversals of fortune.
- Crowley: Total destruction, but to obtain "perfection".
- Gray: Divine will attempting to break down man's stubbornness, change, catastrophe, freedom gained at great cost
- Huson: That which is dead renewed by fire
- Mayananda: A transitional condition, always unpleasant. Preparation through destruction for a new birth.
- Waite: Ruin when evil has prevailed, intellectual destruction, misery, distress.

My Interpretation for Today
I'm thinking that this card is the successor of yesterday's 5 of Cups (which I just finished, so it's fresh in my mind). I know that each day is influenced by previous days and perhaps this card is trying to tell me that I need to do things completely different than I have in the past. I need to break down my walls, destroy my previous methods, and look at things in a new way....maybe branch out a little.
