The Blasted Tower of tarot appears as my future influence in today’s tarot and gratitude journal dated the 20th May 2025.
I cannot possibly see anything going disastrously wrong, but then again, it is a future influence. This is something that is out of my control. With the Two of Cups showing as a past influence, is it my other half? I keep thinking that Mark will have an accident or become ill to the point that I will lose him. Hmm…!
I’m going to park this reading because I am catastrophising and I am obviously not capable of deciphering it correctly. I know better as well as I feel like I’m avoiding my responsibility of exploring my fears and feelings. I will come back to it when I’m ready and continue with my gratitude instead.
The Blasted Tower

OMG! No sooner do I begin journalling, I hear Mark cursing loudly from the bottom of the garden where he’s building an arbour. Talk about timing!
After checking on him and returning to my journalling, I found out that a piece of wood fell on his head, which hurt him. I also told him about my tarot reading and fears, and he told me thanks for manifesting his accident.
Hmm…!
Gratitude Journal
While in the garden, I observe my lavender flowers beginning to break free of their buds. I love the bluish lilac colour and I’m grateful to see it flourishing since planting it last year. Also, the pretty white flowers of orange blossom are emerging and I’m loving the garden more and more with each day. I think I’m getting a tan too, which goes to show the amount of time I’m spending outside. It truly is a beautiful space.
Summarising the Blasted Tower
Of course it is all too easy to assume the worst case scenario occurring when the Blasted Tower appears however, it doesn’t have to be negative.
I’m feeling that this card is more of an awakening, a sudden realisation that is showing me a new path. I suppose it would help to explore the card depicted as my present situation and feelings.
The Knight of Wands
Air can fuel a fire and with much energy I can take myself forward to create the life of my dreams. I always think of Knights as adolescent teenagers rushing forward without wisdom. As a result, their actions can either be successful or disastrous.
My passion ever since 2017 is to build a better life for myself. No more anxiety, and most certainly no more allowing irational fear to hold me back from creating my dreams. I am currently in that process of creation.
Interestingly, I feel that I am still in the early stages of it. Of course, I am sustaining my self-employed living as a holistic therapist and tarot reader, but I still feel that I have something more significant to offer. I guess that I will be finding out soon!
