Attachment, Truth & the Moment Everything Shifts

In this episode of This Ain’t Fortune Telling, Clo is joined by Victoria to explore two of the most misunderstood,and often feared, cards in the tarot: The Devil and The Tower.

These cards don’t predict disaster.
They reveal truth.

The Devil shows us where we feel stuck. In patterns, habits, relationships, or beliefs. Aand where we may be reinforcing that stuckness without realizing it. The Tower represents the moment those illusions can no longer hold, when clarity arrives and something shifts.

Together, these cards tell a very human story: the slow awareness that something isn’t working… and the moment we can’t ignore it anymore.

This conversation moves beyond fear-based interpretations and into something more useful, awareness. The kind that helps you recognize where you still have agency, where you’ve been avoiding what you already know, and how clarity, even when it feels disruptive, can create real change.

Through imagery, real-life examples, and a live reading, Clo and Victoria explore the relationship between gradual knowing and sudden shifts and why the things that fall apart were often never sustainable to begin with.

As always, tarot here isn’t about predicting what’s coming, it’s about understanding what’s happening now so you can meet it consciously.
