Tower as Emperor's Throne
Mars moves into Aries tonight and stays there until May 11th.
Looking at this transit from a tarot perspective, it’s like the Emperor was sitting in his castle just as the lightening struck. His stone throne is exploding.
The Tower is about drastic change, shocking turns of fate and unexpected disturbances. To call its arrival a surprise is typically an understatement.
All you thought was stable and sure is suddenly in turmoil. Structures that seemed fool safe no longer protect you.
The Tower is a breakdown of foundations, the destruction of boundaries. Though it brings chaos in its wake, it’s also a source of liberation.
The Emperor is a man who thrives in chaos. He’s the god of war.
Though his goal is to create stability, a foundation that’s strong enough to maintain itself, his methods are hardly peaceful.
The Emperor sets the world on fire. He moves people, inspires, and enrages. He demands control and settles for nothing less than complete sovereignty.
The Tower is at home in the Emperor’s domain. It shatters his control, but gives him an opportunity to fight. Something he does best.
Mars in Aries, or the Tower as the Emperor’s throne, is likely to be an exciting time. What you thought would never change suddenly does.
It could just be a way of seeing things. Old ideas are shattered and inspiration to begin afresh becomes overwhelming.
Or things might really be changing. New circumstances present themselves without warning and the way you were approaching a situation no longer works.
Destroy inertia and create a new world for yourself. This is a time of great power.
Potentially challenging, yes. But also a chance to take charge in your life like you never thought possible.
