hello to everyone on this forum i was pondering a strange event that happened to me last summer and i was wondering if anyone could give me any insight on its meaning. i was going home from work and on the street i found three tarot cards face down. there was no one on the street and i had no idea how thay got there. i turned the cards face up and there was in this order:
a nine of swords reversed
the tower
the empress reversed
i've been studying the tarot for about 5 years now, yet this event still puzzles me. especially since nothing as dramatic as the nine of swords and tower happened. if you have any idea on what this may mean, i'd appreciate you express your opinion
thanks

Monnie,
That is one of those events that are truly mystical.
I'm wondering if someone placed them and figured the right person would turn them over.

Maybe those events are still yet to come.
Are you a creative person?

Greetings...

Well.. interesting to be sure.

Perhaps at the time you found the cards you were under some emotional stress or troubles?

The 9 of Swords reversed could indicate the passing of emotionally trying times. It can show the resolution of emotional turmoil or perhaps even a new ability to sleep soundly after a period of insomnia or sleep troubled by dreams/nightmares.

The Tower is an awakening of sorts. It represents the crumbling of structures built on faulty ground, in other words; the Truth shall set you free from constructs built in error. It is the Mars card in the Higher Arcana, and can show a time of renewed energy... but is not ALWAYS a catastrophic event. It can be much more subtle than that.

The Empress reversed can show a lack of growth in situations. It can be pregnancies that do not go well on one level, but also it represents troubles with women on another (or even women's troubles). The Empress speaks of proper use of Creative Imagination. That is what truly creates our reality. If it is reversed, perhaps it implies that the imaginative faculty was not developed, or being used improperly, thus creating circumstances that may not work out the way that was originally intended.

Altogether it might represent a time when things were emotionally charged and not working out the way that was hoped for. Perhaps this found spread represented some sort of turning point that was going on in your life at the time, or showed that you were coming out of such a time. But it definitely shows an improvement of conditions, though not necessarily an improvement that came about easily. Often changes that we make are realized when circumstances around us seem stressful and emotionally trying.

I'm not sure that that run of cards necessarily referred to the future as much as to call attention to an internal state of growth that was coming into being.

Hope that makes sense. Either way, remember.. nothing happens by chance!

In the Light...

A

P.S. Interesting thing I just noticed: The Tower is Mars and the Empress is Venus. Perhaps there was some romantic relationship that was causing a run of high emotion. Perhaps there were relationship issues brought to light that were previously unknown? Or perhaps it has something to do with a sexual awakening? Just a thought.

Be in Peace...

A

thanks a lot for the input.
to answer a few questions... yes, i am a creative person, in many ways. yes, i was in an emotionally difficult period, which improved, but not substantially. the venus ruled empress reminded me that i am libra sun, taurus asc - how odd it didn't occur to me till now. the lack of growth is to be blamed partially on the really proverbial libran indecisiveness. yes, i am having problems with sleep and i feel tired most of the time. at times, i think i should try and focus on the tower and make a bold move to change the situation...

monnie,
Listen to that inner voice and you can't go wrong.
Life is about change and maybe your higher-self knows that it is what you need.
