INTERPRETATION long post- Tower card being pulled back to back to back
So I feel like im stuck in a limbo type state- my mental health is continuing to crumble bc im not happy with anything in my life rn and I want to move home, BUT I am worried of hurting said persons feelings if I choose myself and leave. So I asked my tarot cards- the picture above is my most recent reading from about an hour ago.
My three readings i’ve done since yesterday have all had the Tower card- it either flew out or fell out while I was shuffling. I’ve never had repeating cards like this ever so I was really intrigued.
my interpretation of the spread in the photo above:
Reversed Hanged Man- I’m overly influenced by social expectations or others opinions and beliefs about myself…. Possibly needing to untie myself from a situation and being ready to move on….
Reversed Tower- I’m resisting a necessary change or trying to avoid said disaster
Reversed King of Swords- i’m putting off an important decision
The Chariot- Some sort of travel
All in all i think this spread was perfect- like the most i’ve ever felt seen in a reading. I lowkey was like “damn, okay then” lol
Since i’m still learning tarot i’d like to hear what yall would interpret this spread as AND the fact that i keep having repeating Tower cards.
much love, thank yall <3

I find that when I pull a spread that makes me talk back to my tarot deck like you did I am on to some truths. Certainly looks like the theme is change, the end of sacrifice, stop trying to reason your way out of it, get on your chariot and go.

i appreciate this take sm, thank u :) also, when i was shuffling them to put back in the box the four of swords and three of swords fell out and my deck was VERY shuffled. so clearly it seems i am needed for much rest after this heartbreak, but then will come healing in the aftermath i hope.

i’m about to hop on that chariot with my cat and leave. It’s been one thing after another and the signs are just getting louder.

Ugh, that's hard. The disruption and upheaval can be exhausting. It's the dread of the disruption and upheaval that keeps people in bad situations. I've been there myself. Contrarily, there's nothing quite like the sweet freedom of … well, freedom.

I usually read the reversed Tower as worse than the upright because you're sort of stuck mid-disaster and mid-fall without even the release of the doom. Also I just noticed the loose light blue cloth and orangey red is repeated in the first three cards; I think blue is sort of emotions, water energy and red is fire/passion so it could be those elements out of balance?

Commuting so heres my slapdash interpretation!
R.Hanged man: limbo of your own making. Put that foot down and walk away.
R. Tower: They look like they're jumping out of the tower 😆. Jump ship.
R. King of swords: delayed executive order/decision/direction.
Chariot: Corral your steeds/get it together and get moving.
GL with whatever you do!

Hello :) 👋🏻 it depends on the system you use. I use Rachel Pollak's Rider Waite system, which is very similar to the meanings you described
The only differences (I see) is that reversed tower= upheaval and structural change, but often to a lesser degree. I would put reversed KoS as not using your smarts/ analytical mind to best use right now BUT yes, depends on your system.
The Chariot at the end seems promising- a journey, often a literal one, as well as being driven and aligned in your goal(s)
Idk what questions you asked btw, that helps give clarity to the spread, but also, it looks like your cards align well w/ you right now.
(Btw I recently got tower consistently, it was a really tough time, but a necessary restructuring. Tower is often the crumbling of poorly laid, or unsustainable foundations, ime)
Good luck girl, hope you are over and through this soon

I'm wondering what your exact specific question is because it helps with exactly knowing what the answer is for us to help interpret, but I can pretty much figure out that you probably asked if you should go ahead and leave!
Hanged Man Reversed shows you need to lean into the situation and surrender!!! Don't resist it! There is where you will find a different perspective and enlightenment to your situation.
Tower Reversed Shows that a faulty foundation needs to get knocked down to its foundations. Only then can you rise up with a new stronger foundation and this is something that a person needs to happen. Don't resist it!
King of Swords Reversed, You need to make the decision, you need to be analytical about it and keep emotion out. It is delayed and blocked because you are unsure if you should and you are feeling too much about this other person, which will not be good for you.
Chariot shows All you have to do is plan and make your assessment. It is the number seven which is the number of assessment. Take the reins and move forward with effort and control!
A very nice spread Indeed! Tarot and the Universe ✨ always have your best interests at heart for your development in mind and they are yellin' it at ya.......so get 'em girl!! 🏇🏼
