Tarot Tower is a major arcan, which is a symbol of the collapse of everything that is no longer significant in your life. What has passed cannot be returned, and you just need to prepare yourself for a new stage of life. Surrounded by positive cards, the lasso prophesies a happy future, but if negative cards predominate in the layout, then the value will be negative.

In the article:

Tarot Tower - Meaning

Arcana Tarot's Tower upright position talking about big changes. Probably, they will not be unexpected, since the situation has been brewing for a long time. The value of the card will change depending on which major arcana are located nearby.

There is also an opinion that appearing in the layout, this lasso changes the value of nearby cards in a negative direction. In ancient interpretations, the Tower portends a triumph. But it is possible that he will get a high price.

The Tower Tarot card indicates that the shell behind which the individual was hiding from the outside world is being destroyed. An important period of life ends, and it is replaced by another. Changes may not be painless, as the situation will develop extremely quickly.

It is possible that now the earth is slipping away from under a person's feet, he becomes a hostage to circumstances, the usual course of things is disturbed. Surrounded by positive cards, the Tower says that your enemies will be defeated, the black streak will end and you will be able to get rid of the yoke that has weighed on you for many years.

Depending on the position in the layout and questions, the meaning of the card may fluctuate. Sometimes it portends internal upheavals, sometimes external destruction. It warns the individual that everything that was previously considered stable and safe may be shaken.

Often we are talking about a revolution in the value system, a change in principles and beliefs, getting rid of ballast. In the global interpretation, the Tower can become a harbinger of an accident, disaster, cataclysms, terrorist attacks, the collapse of political foundations.

Inverted Tarot Tower

The reversed Tarot Tower has a more hopeful meaning. It is possible that there may be chaos in your life, but the changes will not last long and will not affect you much. Sometimes the lasso portends a delay in some changes. In some cases, the Tower warns that some kind of misfortune could happen in your life, but you will be able to avoid it.

Appearing in a layout, a card can indicate a strong dependence of an individual on other people. You are under a rather strong influence from the outside and you cannot always resist it. The card gives advice - pay attention to the signals that fate sends you. Perhaps it is worth postponing some active actions until later in order to mitigate the situation.

It is not uncommon for an inverted Tower to indicate an individual who is in denial about having a problem. It could be an alcoholic who claims to have no drinking problem. At the moment, a person needs to try to find a compromise, resolve disputes through negotiations, and avoid conflicts.

There is a legend associated with this card. It is believed that it was the lasso of the Tarot inverted Tower that Napoleon pulled out on the day of his departure to St. Helena. Therefore, in the French tradition, such a lasso is associated with imprisonment.

Work and finance

An individual is waiting for drastic changes in the working field. Dismissal, change of occupation is not ruled out. At the same time, leaving the previous place of work will be accompanied by quarrels and conflicts. Bankruptcy, abrupt closure of the company, failures in the professional field are not ruled out.

An individual can realize that most of his ideas cannot be translated into reality, they are not subject to a person and therefore doomed to failure. At the moment, the person realizes that he does not have such influence and power as he had before. It will be risky to abuse power, as this will lead to various conflicts.

If the alignment was made to find a job, then it is best to connect your life with radical psychotherapy, military affairs, and sports. If we talk about the financial situation, then this senior lasso indicates that your position is extremely precarious. Probably the destruction of the house as a result of some cataclysms, fire, robbery.

It is possible that you will have to change your place of residence in a short time. Starting some new projects during such a period is extremely risky, as you can be left with nothing and suffer large financial losses.

Tarot Tower - meaning in relationships

The Tower Tarot card in relationship spreads indicates the implementation of overdue changes. You probably resisted for a long time, but this state of affairs is inevitable. For a long time you managed to hide from the problems that were in the relationship, but it's time to come out of your hiding place towards something new.

If we talk specifically about the relationship between a man and a woman, then they will be very complex. It is impossible to call them tender, as they will be accompanied by conflicts, moral and physical violence. In some cases, the appearance of the lasso even suggests that the relationship will collapse in the near future.

If the Tower is located next to the World map, then this indicates an insignificant truce that will not last long. The combination of the lasso with the Emperor or the Chariot will be especially negative, as this indicates the aggressiveness of the partners, they are not able to perceive each other adequately, they are annoyed by any little thing.

The presence of the Priestess or the Moon in the layout signals hidden human complexes, emotional disorders of one of the partners. Pay attention to which side the Tower falls from.

It is this partner that destroys the relationship, most likely due to the fact that he is intolerant, arrogant, prone to self-destruction. It is possible that this individual is prone to alcoholism, gambling, drug addiction.

The only situation in which the Tower can be considered as a positive sign is if the relationship has already become obsolete, and the partners really cannot be with each other, but do not know how to break such an alliance. In this case, the card will indicate that it will be possible to end the relationship really quickly and painlessly.

Health status

The appearance of the Tarot Tower in the health layout prophesies some sudden illnesses. It can be wounds, and fractures, and burns. Surrounded by positive arcana, in rare cases, a card can prophesy a sudden recovery. However, it can also shock the body, enter a person into a state of shock.

If we consider the card as an indicator of the disease, then it prophesies heart problems, a heart attack, stroke, nervous breakdown, panic attacks and various mental disorders are possible.

Probably, the individual is in a state of passion. Sometimes the card is associated with disorders in the body that began as a result of radiation exposure.

Tower inverted with Minor Arcana

5 of Swords - Claims, isolation

On the Arcana Tarot Tower, we see a tower that was struck by lightning. The sky above the tower is clear, does not portend any trouble. The air is quiet and calm. Around the tower sown field, shows that the seeds once thrown into the ground gave their shoots - a symbol of well-being and stability. There is only one small cloud in the sky from which the lightning struck.

This small cloud indicates circumstances unaccounted for at one time, false beliefs, blunders and mistakes, which led to the inevitable catastrophe. Lightning- this is a strong blow of fate, indicating the finger of God, which, only at first glance, does not have any reasons for a catastrophe. Tower- this is a symbol of any achievement of a person, it can be housing, a career, relationships, a person's pride or the meaning of his actions and lifestyle. Tower destroyed by lightning it means that what a person valued and considered stable was destroyed. Two people fall from the tower. One man wearing a crown and expensive clothes, the other - in simple clothes.

This suggests that the onslaught of the elements can turn into dust both great and small, both kings and subjects. Both the material and spiritual well-being of a person can collapse. Perhaps this Tower belonged to a rich man, it is the fruit of his efforts and efforts, his power and glory. And the higher this Tower was built, the stronger the blow to the ground will have to be. A man in simple white clothes symbolizes our worldview, our spiritual principles, which can also collapse at any moment. The tower is collapsing, people are dying, but around this tragedy it is quite calm, pleasant environment clear sky, sown field), this suggests that no one expected the blow, that it happened unexpectedly - “like a bolt from the blue”.



If suddenly the action of the Arcana Tower touches you, then the question will immediately arise: “For what?”. Instead of this question, when you lose the most precious thing and suffer from it, you must learn to ask another question: “For what?”. To survive the suffering that the action of this Arcana can bring, wisdom and courage are needed. And one must be able to comprehend one's own experience of suffering and put it in the basis of compassion and sympathy for others.

For the Tower, which is traditionally considered the most severe card of the Major Arcana, oddly enough, you can search for your keyword for a long time. “Change” in the Tarot deck is heralded by many cards. Jester, Wheel of Fortune, Death... And the same Six of Swords? Don't they all promise change? In other words, it's not "change".
The surprise of these changes? The strangest thing is that the Tower may not be unexpected at all! The situation, like an abscess, is long overdue. This is the “end of the world” that we have been waiting for. Maybe even very much looking forward to! So it's not a "surprise".
Liberation? Again, the Tower will not be the exclusive bearer of this meaning. Liberation is carried by the Court, the Sun, the Star ... and a number of other cards.

And it turns out that the key word is "crisis". Or even a crisis. Explosion or scrapping after the previous injection. In a certain sense, this is a punishment for what was before. It is the Expulsion of the Devil (previous Arcana). The ancient name of the Tower is the House of God. This is worth thinking about. This is the House of the Devil (as the map was called in medieval Italy), which, under a stroke of heavenly lightning, turns into a place of the presence of God. Through the Tower there is a liberation from a false, not conducive to the development of aspiration, through the destruction of what a person believed in and what he strongly aspired to. There is a loss of the achieved balance, based on false grounds. The Tower is the orderly of evolution, it heals our life from everything that poisons it, destroys stagnant situations that hinder growth. At the same time, the blows of fate may seem as tragic and incomprehensible as it is seen by a child who is being dragged to the doctor to remove a bad tooth. Few people perceive these cleansing operations with enthusiasm, but they are still needed.

The tower shows that the walls behind which we hid (or hid something) are crumbling. One period of life is replaced by another, and this happens very rapidly, and therefore not painlessly. In the simplest sense, the card symbolizes the end of the existing situation under the influence of external forces, moreover, unexpected and very fast. It can be either just reactive cleansing, or a total collapse of the current situation (at least in the area of ​​the question being asked). The tower pulls a person out of the circumstances limiting him, violates the long-existing state of affairs. Sometimes this is completely in line with the expectations and even the desires of the questioner, so the Tower is not always so bad. Near positive cards she announces the decay of the existing evil, foreshadowing the end of the black streak in life and getting rid of a heavy load. It's time to enter the future under the roar of the wreckage of the past.
Another thing is if all this does not at all correspond to expectations or desires. Then this is a bolt from the blue, a kind of painful revelation that undermines the very foundations on which we stood, a radical break in the old outlook on life. It is important that the “blow” itself is inflicted by forces that are not worth even trying to cope with. Another significant point - it makes no sense to engage in the restoration of the deceased in the Tower, it is useless.

At different positions in the alignment and depending on the situation, the Tower changes its scale and significance. It can be both external destruction and internal shocks. For the future, it rather serves as a warning that what we have long considered stable and safe may suddenly be shaken. Radical changes are brewing, the air smells like a thunderstorm. As an indicator of the past, she says that the obsolete has collapsed and will not be reborn. Sometimes it's about inner things - hardened beliefs or life principles, and sometimes something more tangible becomes a target, but in any case, the very structures and conventions that we have already surpassed are falling apart in the Tower. In fact, the old breaks because the time has come, a new one is already ripening, something more creative, alive and vital, and the old has already outlived itself, and reanimating it is a waste of time and effort. When the shock wears off, we find ourselves rid of the ballast.

Along the Tower, we clean up rubbish, throw out the old and unnecessary, and destroy obstacles. Sometimes she says that we are in an extremely intensive process of transformation, something has shaken us up and shaken us, we have felt a breakthrough to something important, a place has been made in us for something new. We are on fire with some idea, feeling, desire, we break one thing, we strive for another, we experience shock and liberation. This is the acquisition of inner truth, which for a long time languished in us under a bushel. This process is like thunder from a clear sky or a river breaking through a dam. It can be such a powerful and vivid experience that it is almost impossible to “collect” oneself and turn to the daily routine (the proverbial “tower demolition”).
The traditional meanings of the Tower are an unexpected breakdown and collapse of plans, in the worst case, a complete failure, trouble, suffering. Catastrophic changes in the affairs of the questioner, the destruction of the house, business, marriage (depending on the topic of the question and the surrounding cards), sometimes - imprisonment. In a purely everyday sense, the Tower often means conflict, even scandal, but this is a thunderstorm, after which the air becomes cleaner. It is possible to be involved in some actions of an aggressive nature, in difficult and / or dangerous situations.

In rare cases, the Tower heralds a triumph, but even then it is more of a "Pyrrhic victory", which is won at too high a price.
Unforeseen destruction, accidents, breakdowns, accidents, sometimes attacks pass through the Tower. On a global scale, it reflects wars, natural disasters, explosions, terrorist attacks, revolutions, the collapse of the regime, the destruction of the existing order. Plane crashes, shipwrecks.
It is believed that the Tower, appearing in the layout, determines the value of other cards in a negative direction.

"As struck by thunder."

Most likely, the person is in shock. He is overwhelmed by some news or event, and everything that he had previously planned and hoped for was suddenly changed. Maybe he is determinedly trying to free himself from something and acts as a destroyer, but then again, there is some reason for this.

The Tower is a stress test that reveals all of our weak spots. The fall of erroneous beliefs under the pressure of reality, the overthrow of the values ​​\u200b\u200bthat provided us with confidence in the future and a sense of security (in the emotional sphere, professional, financial ... spiritual, finally). The image of the Tower can mean the structures with which a person tries to protect himself from growth, from the world, from the activity and diversity of life. In a certain sense, the XVI Arcana depicts a prison, consisting of rigid, impervious to change and at the same time highly exalted ideas. Unused forces, unrevealed emotions, paralyzed energy are locked in its gloomy walls. They build up and push harder. A person becomes cramped in himself, but he stubbornly forces himself to curl up, if only not to grow out of fear of pain (and life). In fact, this whole structure is a futile attempt to stop the process of growth, change, transition from one state to another. And so, reality, conditioned by a limited outlook, is subject to destruction. The towering tower of views (and that area of ​​life where a person considered himself reliably protected) suddenly staggered and shattered along with the old picture of the world. This is often seen as a catastrophe, as the very structures that were the very basis of our confidence are crumbling, but in reality it is a well-deserved crisis, the inability to remain in outdated positions. What is happening in the Tower is nothing more than the creation of conditions for further growth. This is the pain that stands in the way of rebirth.

We all go through the Tower experience many times. Man is imperfect, and his knowledge of the world is always only partial. We all protect ourselves to some extent from the environment in order to gain stability and tranquility. Disappointment in one’s illusions, hopes and rational constructions does not pass by anyone, the only question is how often positions are revised (here the main role is played by openness and interaction with the outside world, in general with forces that surpass one’s own “I”). If a person does not do this for a long time (and we somehow lay the bricks of representations every day), then he manages to pile up a very high structure, and then he risks being simply “buried” under its rubble - it will take a long time to dig out, and this experience will leave its scars. This is a special wisdom of life - the understanding that the walls of your tower are your enemies rather than friends. Still, the feeling of falling can be downright creepy. Sometimes "righteous anger" and the fury of destruction and liberation pass through it, but more often it is experienced disorientation, existential horror, the overwhelming realization that you are not the person you thought you were, that you are grasping for air like falling figures on a map.
It is important for a person suffering from acute pain in the Tower to remember that he is not alone. There, from a height, Someone looks at him, sees everything (that's why he fucked him because he sees ...) and will not leave him under any circumstances. Even sheer losses are valuable gifts from the universe, and times of crisis and despair are often the most fruitful phases of growth. By honestly looking at yourself, you can truly free yourself and move on. As noted by one of the modern Western tarot readers, “By accepting the shock, you will be able to move forward on your real path, and sooner or later the Star of Hope will shine on you. The alternative is to drag yourself through the mud as a passive victim, wondering where you are and how you got here.” The action of the Tower can be seen very clearly in Priestley's "Dangerous Turn", where main character discovers that the whole building of his life was an illusion, and where the questions of deceit and self-deception are shown ingeniously. And one more thing, which must be remembered in the "tower" times - the most important, most valuable and essential cannot be destroyed. The tower doesn't destroy that at all. She burns garbage (even if we are ready to pull it out of the fire with bare hands on that moment).

The man of the Tower has an extremely restless character, it's just a powder keg. He suddenly bursts onto the stage like lightning, and just as suddenly hits, which also leaves a feeling of thunder from a clear sky. He is always longing for change (at least unconsciously), he is cramped within the limits defined by life, and that is why something happens to him all the time, he himself and the people around him receive regular “shakes”. He is dynamic, self-confident, excitingly unpredictable and always ready to take risks. The Tower brings shock and confusion into the lives of those with whom he (she) faces fate, this is living rock. At the same time, the spirit of a person is unbending, it is difficult to break him, and his own life, full of sharp turns, serves him, if not a lesson, then hardening. A tower of either sex is often distinguished by an explosive temperament and an inability to maintain a good relationship with those around you. This is a born duelist who always climbs on the rampage. In the worst case, this is a brawler, a brawler and a rude person, or even a criminal. Historically, the Tower corresponds to tyrants and dictators (who are overthrown sooner or later if they do not have time to die before that). Both delusions of grandeur and punishment for pride pass through the Tower. Anyone would have lost their nerve ten times already, "and he, rebellious, asks for storms, as if there is peace in storms." However, he has the gift of freeing other, less cool and radical people, from what oppresses them - one or two, the doors are broken, the phones are torn off, the suitcases are packed, and in general the joke is with them, with things, and now you are already flying " hare" in an unknown direction, not even trying to guess how it will all end. With the Tower, the phrase "see Paris and die" ceases to be a literary turn.

In a spiritual sense, the Tower symbolizes the consequences of the fact that a person has been "confused by a demon", he accepted the offer of the Devil, even if he tries to deny it. The sixteenth Arcana describes the destruction of the vibrations of the fifteenth. The tower is something sent down by God (strike, punishment, revelation, disillusionment). Contrary to modern interpretations, in the deepest sense, according to the Tower, it’s not so much “destroying the tower” as strictly the opposite - “setting the brain”. We receive a reminder from the Universe that we are not omnipotent (even if we have gained power), that the will of a person, no matter how strong it may be, compared to the Will of God, is secondary and limited. The tower warns - do not think of yourself as the Lord God, do not imagine that "the man himself controls." What you are striving for now is not conducive to evolution and is not part of God's plans. Therefore, you will be guided on the true path, the constructions of your limited mind will be overturned. The sixteenth Arcana is the mystery of the overthrow of everything false, unviable. Symbolically, it depicts the fall of Lucifer, Dennitsa, cast down from heaven “like lightning” by the army of the Archangel Michael. Sometimes it is also associated with the fall of man and his expulsion from paradise, although in general this whole structure reminds little of paradise ... Probably, the closest to the Sixteenth Arcanum is the famous myth of the Tower of Babel, a symbol of vanity, which the Lord did not allow proud people to complete. Allegory: something not quite real falls under the pressure of Divine intervention. Therefore, the Tower addresses a person with a warning: the task you have set cannot but destroy the one who solves it. And does it make sense? What you are building at least ignores the laws of God, and maybe even violates them. It is the fall into sin, so that the expulsion from paradise will surely follow. This building will not be completed, although much has already been done. A Uranian blow will follow, putting an end to this matter in a swoop. From this Uranian lightning the sun of new truth can shine. Divine revelation destroys all errors at once, leaving nothing of them.

Astrologically in the Tower, the influence of Mars (cosmic energy in its gross materialistic form), as well as such planets as Pluto (globalism and mass character, "nowhere to hide"), Uranus and Saturn (sudden destruction and renewal) are noticeable. The tower can mean both the blind destruction of forms, and the fall of the dilapidated. Mars is the personal moral principle of a person, dominating fate, giving physical strength, spiritual impulses and hope for immortality. But the hope for immortality comes to a person only when he "falls from his tower of Babel" and there is nothing left for him except this hope. In the mystical sense, the Tower corresponds to astral battles, magical wars, exorcism.

The tower also corresponds to the mystery of the Phoenix, resurrected from the ashes rejuvenated. This is the ability to be reborn, to change radically after cleansing crises (from the seductions of the Devil, moving on to the Star). The map often depicts how a golden glow or other substance escapes from the gap formed by the blow, which symbolizes the released potential forces. In the Masonic tradition, the tower symbolizes the column of Jachin and the first fire, "from which everything begins and with which everything ends." Also, the stones of the Tower symbolize the callousness and rigidity of the human soul, the inertia of consciousness.
The images of figures falling from the Tower differ in different decks. Sometimes one is a king losing his crown on the fly, and the other is a poor man in rags. This is a hint that no one will escape cleansing crises and revision of ideas in life. Almighty Destiny is completely indifferent to what place a person occupies in the hierarchy of this world. Sometimes it is a man and a woman, then it means rather an association with the fall of man and retribution for yielding to the temptations of the previous Arcana. Sometimes the Tower is associated with the "fiery sword" at the entrance to Eden. Exile is reflected here in the form that a person falls into the lower world and incurs the illusion of materiality.

The tower is the axis of the world, which embodies the spiritual evolution directed to the divine heights. Esoterically, this Arcana also depicts the secret of the interaction of thought (representation) and the word. The human soul, in order for what was created inside to be manifested outward (the word was spoken), turns deep into itself. But the spoken word destroys the former inner integrity, and speaking, a person ceases to understand the meaning of what was said and creatively touch the essence of things. Hence the paradoxical at first glance the phrase "A thought uttered is a lie." When a person comprehends the true power of the word, for the most part he is silent (ascetic-silent ascetics are an example of this).

The card can only warn that the structure is shaky, the forces are not so great and the understanding is not as complete as it seems, but as a result of abuse God's gift misfortune may occur. A typical example: the catastrophe of a man who is played with magical powers beyond his power and understanding, or a psychic who exaggerates his abilities and (semi-consciously) profits from people's misfortunes. The Tower has long been considered a cautionary tale for the seeker of occult knowledge. She says that if you are seduced by the opportunity to rule this world instead of striving for wisdom and spiritual growth, you will lose everything that you managed to gain. The reason is the misuse of power. Not in the fact that you showed it in principle, but in where you directed it. Walking the spiritual path, it is not THIS world that a person should try to conquer. At this point in the search, there is still a temptation to evaluate oneself in terms of this world - by the impression made on others, by earthly position and status. But if you exchange spiritual growth for obvious material achievements, then you will lose everything, and in the hermetic sense, the XVI Arcanum is about this. YOU HAVE EITHER ASSIGNED TO YOURSELF POWER WHICH YOU DIDN'T HAVE, OR YOU HAVE AIMED TO A GOAL WHICH YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO. It symbolizes the collapse of the arrogant intellect, encroaching on the mastery of the Secret Knowledge.

Shocking changes. A sudden decision to change jobs (or even profession). Dismissal "like thunder from a clear sky", leaving with noise and roar, "slamming the door." Quarrels, stresses, destruction of business relations.

professional failures. Defeat in competition. Massive collapse. Sudden closure of the project. Company bankruptcy.

It suddenly turns out that the plans are unrealistic, not designed for human strength, and therefore doomed to failure.
Fiasco. Situations in which a person feels that all his work has gone to waste, and the meaning of life has also disappeared somewhere. Loss of prestige and influence, career collapse, removal from office, removal. Disaster as a result of abuse of power.
Risky undertaking, unreliable business, unstable enterprise.
The Tower is professionally walked mainly by the military and sportsmen. It can also be an indicator of professions associated with clearing the place, the destruction of the old (and this may be radical psychotherapy).

The tower can literally point to a house or structure, as well as to the danger emanating from them. Fire, destruction, robbery. A sudden decision to change the place of residence.
Financial structures built on the principle of a house of cards. The doubtful basis of the case, if the past comes to light, all sorts of upheavals will begin ("Don't worry, Kozlodoev, we'll all sit down!")
Bankruptcy, financial collapse, economic crisis. Business destruction, financial loss. Need, poverty, deprivation, misery.
Breakdown of the deal.

Here, as in everything else, the Tower brings destruction and liberation. And if a person feels more "breakdown" or more "liberation" - that's another question.
Sometimes a simple conflict passes through the Tower, and sometimes an indomitable sexual impulse, sometimes one turns into another ... but in any case, this is an explosion and the release of feelings that have been accumulated and suppressed for a long time. If only something was kept under a bushel, curbed, endured, silent, waited, then the Tower is the hour of the explosion. Spoons are collapsing, the reins are torn, patience is bursting, in a word, the margin of safety ends, sometimes completely treacherously. The direction of the interpretation of the Tower can sometimes be guessed precisely by whether this period of “nuclear deterrence” preceded it, or whether the clockwork was ticking. The previous nature of the relationship can also give a hint. If the situation felt like a dead end, and the relationship (or lack thereof) strongly resembled a prison in nature, the Tower is "knocked down the door and walked out." Sometimes it is experienced positively, much like a life-sentenced prisoner experiences the unexpected destruction of a prison during an earthquake - he gets out without feeling any nostalgia for the wreckage.
The tower can mean the collapse of the old relationship, which seemed stable and unchanged, or a very severe test of love or friendship, after which the opinion of loved ones changes. The old words "crash as a result of misjudgment and abuse of free will" are absolutely accurate, and to feel to what extent this is so, one can only go through all the drinking of the Tower. Another meaning is "cleansing storm". And one more thing - "ashes". Which of them is closer to the truth in this case remains to be seen.
Marriage crisis, divorce. Some kind of “revelations” often take place in the Tower - the long-hidden truth breaks out, a sudden understanding of the true essence of events arises. This may be an awareness of one's own dissatisfaction with marriage, and the fact of infidelity, and other unexpected blows ("everything was mixed up in the Oblonskys' house"). The Tower reveals secrets and dispels illusions.
The sudden loss of a spouse, knocking the ground out from under your feet. In practice, there was a case when the Tower indicated a sudden widowhood, the death of a spouse, and a person, in a stunning awareness of his vulnerability, was left with a small child in his arms, he had to build a completely new life.
In part, the card indicates tyranny and oppression (the context of the alignment is important), the situation can also be dangerous, threatening, fraught with violence.
The tower carries a lot of sexual energy. Lightning sometimes takes the form zodiac sign Scorpio, and the tower itself is regarded as a phallic symbol. She symbolizes the mighty orgasmic power of emotions that have long been held back, but finally released. Therefore, sometimes a sudden love passes through the Tower, which “jumped out in front of us, like a killer jumps out of the ground in an alley, and hit us both at once! This is how lightning strikes, this is how a Finnish knife strikes! The upright card is associated with erection and ejaculation (inverted, respectively, with problems in this part; it is also believed that it may indicate the secret birth of a child). According to the Tower, spontaneous sex is possible, very passionate, unexpected for the person himself, and sometimes violent. Sometimes a passion passes through it, which in order destroys the life of the people captured by it. “Everything happened” - but they are simply scared to open their eyes and look around after this atomic explosion ...
For a lonely person living with a feeling of complete stagnation and tired of loneliness, the Tower is an almost optimistic card. She says something is going to happen! It is not a fact that it will be a great happiness, but in any case, a boring and calm existence will end, it will be possible to escape from the dungeon of stupor. It happens that a person is ready to take risks, just to overcome inertia, and even the prospect of being left with nothing frightens him (however, the energy of the Tower is such that the trough of that other one is also unlikely to remain intact).
A modern tarot reader, writing under the pseudonym AlmaZ, says the following about the Tower: “The card can represent a period when a person decides to do something that he has never done, following the principle: now or never. Those who marry the wrong person leave; singles fall in love and tie the knot; women who have never had children use their last chance to conceive, and those who have worked for years at boring jobs quit and walk to the Himalayas. For the sake of happiness and growth, everything standard must go away, so that it can be replaced by something that has been dormant for so long in the depths of our being.

Diseases of the type "like thunder from a clear sky." Fractures, injuries, accompanied by acute pain. Accidents, injuries. Burns. Shock. Sometimes sudden healings pass through the Tower, the disease can be “expelled” and “etched out”, but this, as a rule, also shakes the body to the ground. Surgical operations. Radiation and chemotherapy.
The symptoms of the release of the body from toxins pass through the Tower - heat, vomiting, all kinds of skin rashes. Hemorrhages, abscesses, suppurations, an attack of appendicitis, rupture of a cyst.
Heart attack, heart attack, stroke.
age crisis.
Nervous breakdown, severe frustration. Panic attacks.
Mental disorders, more psychopathic than neurotic (an old joke definition: a neurotic is one who does not give life to himself, a psychopath is one who does not give life to others). The heat of passion.
Undermined health (for example, as a result of radiation damage).
In exceptional cases - death (catastrophe, accident).

There is an opinion that the inverted position softens the effect of the Tower: what has been built will not be destroyed to the ground. It becomes less sinister and catastrophic. It may not be so strong chaos, but everything will last longer. Or is it just a postponement of a change that has yet to be faced. It can also be a misfortune, happily avoided at the last moment. But still, the inverted Tower usually brings anxiety and pain.
In an inverted position, the card speaks of a strong dependence on existing circumstances that cannot be changed at the moment - opportunities are limited, individuality is oppressed. A person follows his own footsteps along the same path, lives along the old rut, ripening for a fundamental crisis of development, ignores alarm signals and clings to the status quo. He delays the necessary changes, softening the situation that is ready to explode. Sometimes, in an inverted Tower, a person stubbornly denies a crisis, friction in a relationship, or even violence, as if it were not there.
The card also does not advise rushing to destroy old relationships and ties, it is better to solve the matter peacefully, avoiding scandals and conflicts.

It is traditionally considered to have a narrow meaning: tyranny, oppression, captivity. Deception. A shame. Harassment, persecution, persecution. In French tradition, the upside-down Tower symbolizes imprisonment, since according to legend, it was this tower that Napoleon pulled out on the day of his departure to St. Helena.

"To suffer is to put on immortality."

“Truly the Lord is present in this place, and I did not know! How terrible is this place! This is none other than the house of God, this is the gate of heaven” (Genesis 28:16-17).

The action of this lasso is strong and immediate, the instructions come true very quickly. There is no time for reflection and attempts to save belongings. There is also no time for moral preparation, whenever, and whatever happens on this card, it will be powerful and unexpected. Like a lightning strike. The place that we felt like a safe haven, our fortress, suddenly staggered and now everything is on fire, everything where we felt protected from all adversity and enemies. The heaping tower of our views is collapsing, and with it the familiar picture of the world is collapsing. At such moments, all the fragility, illusory nature and fragility of the foundations, the ephemeral nature of the goods and values ​​created are acutely felt. All this overnight, everything that was created and earned for many years, everything that was significant and important. All this is crumbling.

The card is dual: it is like a symbol of collapse, loss, powerlessness before the will of fate, but it is also a cleansing from sins and suffering. Your fortress was built on sand, it is not viable, that's why it was destroyed, do not rush to restore the past from the wreckage. Wait it out. Do not despair, very soon you will feel an influx of new forces! But now - yes, a difficult time, the collapse of the usual order of life - But it's like a burst abscess. Favorable cards in the layout portend the end of the black stripe, dawn will dawn very soon.

16 lasso punishes pride, inflated in 15 lasso, stops all excesses, up to physical destruction. But first of all, it is a radical break internal device, change of outlook. It is not the Tower itself that is bad, but the reasons for which it was erected, in what way and with what means. Change is sudden and undesirable under this card, but we must understand that only by clearing our way can we move forward. So the surgeon decides on amputation for gangrene. Only those conventions, structures and relationships from which we have already grown are crumbling. Yes, a certain concept gave us a sense of stability, security, but now it does not correspond to these functions due to our increased level. The feeling of catastrophe is connected only with the fact that everything that made up the base, the foundation of our confidence, is collapsing. The destruction of the Tower is a symbol of forced purification. Only with time or thanks to a hint will we understand that we actually got rid of the ballast then. We'll have to gather strength and adequately meet the coming changes.

16 Arkan may also turn out to be a magical cuff from above, which was necessary in order to shake you out of an anabiotic inert state. And no matter how crushing the blow, getting out from under the ruins, you will feel with a sigh of relief that you have finally left the prison, although before it seemed so dear and cozy.
