Just because a kid grows out of his clothes, doesn't mean that the clothes were not right for him. He would have looked silly with XL clothes when he only needed size S. But if he doesn't look at himself in the mirror, or if his mother doesn't pay attention and buy him new clothes, the clothes will start cracking at the seams.

The Wheel of Fortune is quieter to me, and has an element which the Tower doesn't have. The Wheel of Fortune gives me more free-will. Gives me a chance to adapt, doesn't knock me off my feet. It's a more calming thing. It's the wheel of life turning, and I can even sometimes go along and turn that wheel a bit to make it spin. It's very inviting.

I think if the querent is willing to let go of an old way of life that it can be a much simpler transformation, but you will be rebuilding an entirely new structure, from the bottom up. It is a big deal, but I think it is how one chooses to view it and respond to it that can make it either a somewhat exciting prospect or one of doom and gloom.
The Tower smacks you in the chops. The Wheel just keeps grinding away. That's crudely expressed, but fairly accurate, and easy to remember.Alex said:How would you then differentiate this card_The Tower_ from the Wheel of Fortune?
