The Tower is card XVI of the Major Arcana — sudden change and the collapse of existing structures. The image of two figures falling from a lightning-struck tower in flames is shocking, but what falls was never truly solid. When this card appears, reassessing the situation calmly matters more than pushing forward.
YES or NO Verdict
The Tower is A sharp NO. Be prepared. What's coming might be destabilising, but it clears the way for what actually needs to happen.
Upright / Reversed
▲ UPRIGHT
Sudden change, shock, collapse of existing structures. What falls was never truly solid to begin with. Real rebuilding comes after the fall.
▼ REVERSED
Avoidance of crisis, delayed collapse, fear. Trying to prevent what must fall only makes the eventual impact worse. Avoidance is not the answer.
