Confusing tarot reading

So I did a tarot reading yesterday to get some insight on the way my life is going at this point. It's all incredibly accurate, but there are two cards that have really puzzled me.

In the "what is going in my favor" spot, I drew the Tower. In the "what is going against me" spot, I drew the High Priestess. I'm not sure how to interpret this. Could anybody out there help?

With out the rest of the reading I would see that for the tower that you are using your obstacles and set beacks to your advantage or not letting them be in you way. Then the high priestess being against you would indicate misunderstandings or something of a spiritual nature that is not clear to you and should be.

I'm not sure about the Tower spot, but because the High Priestess is often used as a Significator to represent a woman, it could simply mean that you are up against a powerful woman. Then again, it could also be talking about the spiritual side of things.

For the tower I would say it represents that an illusion that is in your situation and depending on the reading format upon which the question is founded, or that the situation surrounds. The high priestess could be an over-reliance on higher powers to accomplish goals for you and thus you not getting done what is need to achieve or get what you want.

I've read a few books that mention a card that makes the reading confusing. It's generally chalked up to mean something that will happen eventually. Sometimes, in my personal opinion, a card that has an unknown meaning in a reading you did is something that is bound to happen if things continue on the same course.
