Honestly, that was one of my first thoughts, that it meant falling in love. But I didn't want to get my hopes up and then I remembered that The Tower usually stands for the truth about a situation coming out for me. It would be nice if it meant falling in love, haha. I'm a huge romantic but I've lost hope. Trying to gain that hope back, though. Thanks a lot! =)
I believe, in reading, the first thought we have is usually the best one...the closest to truth. Once we start questioning or thinking what we believe is likely or not, we get in our own ways. Even things that are unlikely DO happen in life, so if we do that we will have a hard time seeing the truth we are being told. To me, I believe reading it about turning off the mind. If you start to think or follow your worries, you just get in your own way.
To read accurately, we need to stay objective and not let our feelings enter into it. If you're starting to question what you see, you may not be able to stay objective enough to read on the topic for yourself. I don't know many people who can when it comes to romantic readings.
You can always try a reading on what you can do to try to get your sense of hope back. Might be fun. I always find those are feel good readings
Or alternatively, IF you don't feel things are hopeful as they are now... You would ask the cards what you can do that could change the situation to make a positive outcome more likely. Then just do it. I find these kinds of readings useful.
Remember a reading on the future does not show THE future, period. It's not set in stone. It is just one future, the one you are currently heading towards. But usually you can change the future you are heading towards by thinking and acting differently. The cards can tell us how to do that if we ask. What needs to be changed to get to where we want to go.
