Everything you thought to be true has turned on its head. Your world may come crashing down before you, in ways you could never have imagined as you realize that you have been building your life on unstable foundations – false assumptions, mistruths, illusions, blatant lies, and so on. A lightning bolt of clarity and insight cuts through the lies and illusions you have been telling yourself, and now the truth comes to light. Just when you think you’re safe and comfortable, a Tower moment hits and throws you for a loop. Change is here to tear things up, create chaos and destroy everything in its path (but trust me, it’s for your Highest Good). It may be a divorce, death of a loved one, financial failure, health problems, natural disaster, job loss or any event that shakes you to your core, affecting you spiritually, mentally and physically.

When The Tower card appears in a Tarot reading, expect the unexpected – massive change, upheaval, destruction and chaos. NOTE: The Tarot card meaning description is based on the Rider Waite cards. Around them are 22 flames, representing the 12 signs of the zodiac and 10 points of the Tree of Life, suggesting that even in times of disaster, there is always divine intervention. The people are desperate to escape from the burning building, not knowing what awaits them as they fall. It enters via the top of the building and knocks off the crown, symbolizing energy flowing down from the Universe, through the crown chakra. The lightning represents a sudden surge of energy and insight that leads to a break-through or revelation. It represents ambitions and goals made on false premises. The Tower itself is a solid structure, but because it has been built on shaky foundations, it only takes one bolt of lightning to bring it down. Lightning strikes set the building alight, and two people leap from the windows, head first and arms outstretched. The Tower shows a tall tower perched on the top of a rocky mountain. REVERSED: Personal transformation, fear of change, averting disaster The Tower Description
