In your reading

This is the moment of change. Do not resist it or life will take over and make you change.

This is most often not a card of endings unless you question was focused on this transformative process. In all other cases it is about how change is needed and that you still have make them yourself. If you wait for the Tower card to come along then life really will take over and you have nothing to say about it anymore.

Take a look at the card. In the foreground you see the white horse with the figure on it, dressed up like a knight in shining armour. Knights like these often bring good things into your life. So change does not have to be bad. Even the rising sun in the background tells you that the change that took place during the dark night of the soul is now ready to be in the light.

You even get the blessing of the pope in this card. A new period in your life is about to start with everything changed.
