Tarot Tower is the senior lasso, which is a symbol of the collapse of everything that is no longer significant in your life. What has passed can no longer be returned, and you just need to prepare yourself for a new stage in life. Surrounded by positive cards, the lasso predicts a happy future, but if negative cards prevail in the layout, then the value will be negative.

In the article:

Tarot Tower - meaning

Arcanum Tower Tarot in an upright position speaks of harsh 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 it at a high price.

The Tower Tarot card says that the shell behind which the individual was hiding from the outside world is 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 a person is losing ground from under his feet, he becomes a hostage of circumstances, the usual course of things is disrupted. Surrounded by positive cards, the Tower says that your enemies will be defeated, the black bar 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 value of the card may fluctuate. Sometimes it portends internal shocks, sometimes external destruction. It warns the individual that anything that was previously considered stable and safe may be shaken.

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

Inverted tarot tower

The Inverted Tower of the Tarot 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 greatly affect you. Sometimes the lasso portends a postponement of some kind of change. In some cases, the Tower warns that some kind of misfortune could have happened in your life, but you will be able to avoid it.

Appearing in the layout, a card can speak of a strong dependence of an individual on other people. You have 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. It may be worth postponing some active actions until later in order to mitigate the situation.

Oftentimes, an inverted Tower indicates an individual who denies that there is a problem. It may be an alcoholic who assures that he has no problems with alcoholic beverages. At the moment, a person needs to try to find a compromise, resolve controversial situations through negotiations, and avoid conflicts.

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

Work and finance

The individual is in for dramatic changes in the workplace. Dismissal, change of occupation is not excluded. 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 excluded.

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

If the alignment was done 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 suggests 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. It is extremely risky to start any new projects during such a period, as you may be left with nothing and suffer large financial losses.

Tarot Tower - meaning in relationships

Tarot card The Tower in the hands of the relationship indicates the implementation of urgent changes. You have 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 get 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 gentle, since 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, since this indicates the aggressiveness of the partners, they are not able to perceive each other adequately, they are annoyed by any trifle.

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

It is this partner who 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 addiction, drug addiction.

The only situation in which the Tower can be considered as a positive sign is if the relationship has already outlived its usefulness, 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 layout of health predicts some sudden ailments. It can be injuries, fractures, and burns. Surrounded by positive arcana, in rare cases, a card can predict a sudden recovery. However, it can also shake the body, send a person into a state of shock.

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

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

Inverted tower with minor lassos

This small cloud points to circumstances that were not taken into account in due 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, at first glance, does not have any reasons for a catastrophe. Tower- it is a symbol of any achievement of a person, it can be housing, a career, a relationship, a person's pride or the meaning of his actions and a way of life. The tower is destroyed by a lightning strike means destroyed what a person valued and considered stable. Two people fall from the Tower... One man is wearing a crown and expensive clothes, the other is wearing simple clothes.

This suggests that the onslaught of the elements can turn to dust both great and small, both kings and subjects. Both 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 harder it will hit the ground. A person in simple white clothes symbolizes our worldview, our spiritual principles, which can also collapse at any moment. The tower is crumbling, people are dying, but around this tragedy it is quite calm, supportive 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?".

It takes wisdom and courage to survive the suffering that the action of this Arcana can bring. 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.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp

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. The "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 short, these are not "changes."
The unexpectedness of these changes? The strangest thing is that the Tower may not be unexpected at all! The situation, like an abscess, has ripened for a long time. This is the "end of the world" that was expected. Maybe even really awaited! So this is not a "surprise".
Liberation? Again, the Tower will not be the exclusive bearer of this meaning. Liberation is carried by the Judgment, the Sun, the Star ... and a number of cards.

And it turns out that the key word is "crisis". Or even a "crisis". Explosion or scrapping after prior injection. In a sense, it is punishment for what came before. The Expulsion of the Devil (previous Arcanum) takes place on it. The old name of the Tower is the House of God. This is worth considering. This is the House of the Devil (as the map was called in medieval Italy), which, under the blow of heavenly lightning, turns into the place of the presence of God. The Tower is liberated from a false, not conducive to the development of aspiration, through the destruction of what a person believed in and to which he strongly aspired. There is a loss of the achieved balance based on false foundations. 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 seems to a child who is being dragged to the doctor to remove a sick tooth. Few people take these cleansing operations with enthusiasm, but they are still needed.

The tower shows that the walls behind which we were hiding (or hiding something) are crumbling. One period of life is replaced by another, and this happens very rapidly, and therefore not painless. In the simplest sense, the card symbolizes the end of the existing situation under the influence of external forces, and unexpected and very quick. It can be either just a reactive clean-up type of order, 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 constraining circumstances, violates a long-standing state of affairs. Sometimes this is completely in line with the expectations and even desires of the questioner, so the Tower is not always so bad. Along with positive cards, she informs about the disintegration of existing evil, heralding the end of the black streak in life and getting rid of a heavy burden. It's time to enter the future with the rumble of the debris of the past.
It's another matter if all this does not at all correspond to either expectations or desires. Then it is a bolt from the blue, a kind of painful revelation that undermines the very foundations on which we stood, a radical breakdown of the old outlook on life. It is important that the "blow" itself is delivered by forces that are not worth trying to cope with. Another significant point - there is no point in restoring the deceased in the Tower, it is useless.

At different positions of 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 secure may suddenly shake. Fundamental 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 we are talking about internal things - stale beliefs or life principles, and sometimes something more tangible becomes the target, but in any case, it is precisely those structures and conventions that we have already surpassed that fall apart on the Tower. In fact, the old breaks down because the time has come, the new is already ripening, something more creative, lively and vital, and the old has already become obsolete, and reanimating it is a waste of time and effort. When the shock wears off, we find that we have got rid of the ballast.

On the Tower we clear the garbage, throw out the old and unnecessary, destroy obstacles. Sometimes she says that we are in an extremely intense process of transformation, something has shaken and shocked us, we have felt a breakthrough to something important, a place has been freed up in us for something new. We are burning with some idea, feeling, desire, breaking one thing, striving for another, experiencing 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 a thunderbolt or a river that blew through a dam. It can be such a powerful and vivid experience that it is almost impossible to “collect” yourself and turn to your daily routine (the notorious “demolition of the tower”).
The traditional meanings of the Tower are unexpected frustration and collapse of plans, in the worst case - complete failure, misfortune, suffering. Catastrophic changes in the affairs of the questioner, destruction of a 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 a conflict, even a scandal, but it is a thunderstorm, after which the air becomes cleaner. It is possible to be involved in some aggressive actions, in difficult and / or dangerous situations.

In rare cases, the Tower portends a triumph, but even then it is more likely a "Pyrrhic victory", which is too expensive.
Unforeseen destructions, accidents, breakdowns, accidents, and sometimes attacks occur along the Tower. Globally, 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 the negative direction.

"Like a thunderbolt."

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 suddenly changed. Maybe he is decisively trying to free himself from something and acts as a destroyer, but again, there is some reason for this.

The tower is a stress test that exposes all of our weaknesses. The fall of erroneous beliefs under the pressure of reality, the overthrow of values ​​that 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 the help of 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 elevated representations. Unused forces, undisclosed emotions, paralyzed energy are locked within its gloomy walls. They accumulate and press more and more. A person becomes cramped in himself, but he persistently forces himself to cringe, just 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 now, the reality, conditioned by a limited outlook, is subject to destruction. The Tower of Views piling up to the sky (and that area of ​​life where a person considered himself to be reliably protected) suddenly staggered and scattered along with the old picture of the world. This is often perceived as a disaster, since it is precisely the structures that formed the very basis of our confidence that are crumbling, but in fact this is a well-deserved crisis, the inability to remain in outdated positions. Nothing else happens in the Tower, but the conditions for further growth are being created. 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, to some extent, shield ourselves from the environment in order to gain stability and tranquility. Disappointment in their illusions, hopes and rational constructions does not escape 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 their own "I"). If a person does not do this for a long time (and we somehow lay the bricks of ideas every day), then he manages to heap 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 life wisdom - 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 rage of destruction and liberation pass through it, but more often it experiences a loss of orientation, existential horror, the overwhelming realization that you are not the person you thought you were, that you are grasping at the 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 blasted that he sees ...) and will not leave him under any circumstances. Even blatant losses are valuable gifts from the universe, and times of crisis and despair are often the most rewarding phases of growth. By taking an honest look at yourself, you can truly free yourself and move on. As noted by one of the modern Western tarologists, “By accepting the shock, you will be able to move forward on your present path, and sooner or later the Star of Hope will flash upon you. The alternative is to trudge through the mud as a passive victim, wondering where you are and how you got here. " The action of the Tower is very vividly seen in Priestley's Dangerous Turn, where the main character discovers that the whole building of his life was an illusion, and where questions of deception and self-deception are shown brilliantly. And one more thing that must be remembered in the "tower" times - the most important, the most valuable and essential cannot be destroyed. This is not what the tower destroys. She burns garbage (even if we are ready to pull it out of the fire with our bare hands at the time).

The Tower Man has an extremely restless disposition, it is just a powder keg. He suddenly bursts into the stage like lightning, and just as suddenly hits, which also leaves a feeling of thunder from a clear sky. He always longs for change (at least unconsciously), he is cramped within the framework determined by life, and therefore something happens to him all the time, he himself and the people around him receive regular "shakes". He is dynamic, confident, exhilaratingly unpredictable and always willing to take risks. The tower brings shock and confusion to the lives of those with whom fate confronts him (her), it 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 a hardening. A tower of either gender is often characterized by an explosive temperament and an inability to maintain good relationships with others. This is a born duelist who always looks for trouble. In the worst case, it is a rowdy, brawler and rude, 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). Megalomania and punishment for pride pass through the Tower. Anyone would have lost their nerves ten times already, "and he, rebellious, asks for storms, as if there is peace in the storms." However, he has the gift of freeing other, less cool and radical people from what oppresses them - once or twice, doors are knocked out, telephones are torn off, suitcases are packed, and indeed a joke with them, with things, and now you are flying " hare "in an unknown direction, without even trying to guess how it will all end. With the Tower, the phrase “see Paris and die” ceases to be a literary phrase.

In a spiritual sense, the Tower symbolizes the consequences of the fact that a person was "beguiled" by the demon, he accepted the offer of the Devil, even if he tries to deny it. The Sixteenth Arcanum describes the destruction of the vibrations of the Fifteenth. The tower is something sent by God (blow, punishment, revelation, destruction of illusions). Contrary to modern interpretations, in the deepest sense of the Tower it is not so much “demolishing the tower” as strictly the opposite - “setting the brains down”. We receive a reminder from the Universe that we are not omnipotent (even if we have gained power), that the will of man, no matter how strong it may be, in comparison with the Will of God, is secondary and limited. The tower warns - do not imagine yourself to be the Lord God, do not imagine that "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 Arcanum is the mystery of the overthrow of all that is false, unviable. It symbolically 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 fact, this whole structure resembles paradise a little ... Probably the closest thing to the Sixteenth Arcanum is the famous myth of the Babel Tower, a symbol of vanity, which the Lord did not allow puffed up people to finish building. 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 even make sense? What you are building, at least ignores the laws of God, and maybe even violates them. It is the essence of the fall, so the expulsion from paradise will surely follow. This construction cannot be completed, although much has already been done. A uranian blow will follow, putting an end to this matter. From this Uranian lightning the sun of new truth can shine forth. Divine revelation at once destroys all delusions, leaving nothing of them.

Astrologically, the Tower is affected by the influence of Mars (cosmic energy in its rough materialistic form), as well as such planets as Pluto (globality and massiveness, "nowhere to hide"), Uranus and Saturn (sudden destruction and renewal). The tower can mean both the blind destruction of forms, and the fall of a dilapidated one. Mars is a person's personal moral principle, 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 Babylonian tower" and nothing else remains 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 rising from the ashes renewed. This is the ability to be reborn, to radically change after cleansing crises (from the deceptions of the Devil passing to the Star). The card often depicts how a golden glow or other substance that symbolizes the released potential forces bursts out of the gap formed by the impact of a stream. In the Masonic tradition, the tower symbolizes the column of Jachin and the primal fire, "with 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 the 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 a 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 the association with the fall of man and retribution for the concession to the temptations of the previous Arcanum. 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 that embodies spiritual evolution towards divine heights. Esoterically, this Arcana also depicts the mystery of the interaction of thought (representation) and word. The human soul, in order for the created inside to be manifested outward (the word was spoken), turns inward. But the spoken word destroys the previous inner integrity, and when 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 spoken thought is a lie." When a person comprehends the true power of the word, he is mostly silent (an example of this is the ascetic-silencers).

The map can only warn that the structure is shaky, the forces are not so great and the understanding is not as complete as it seems, and as a result of the abuse of God's gift, misfortune can occur. A typical example: the catastrophe of a person, which plays with magical powers beyond his power and understanding, or a psychic who exaggerates his capabilities and (semi-consciously) profiting from the misfortunes of people. The tower has long been considered an edification card for the seeker of occult knowledge. She says that if you are tempted by the opportunity to rule this world instead of striving for wisdom and spiritual growth, you will lose everything that you have gained. The reason is the misuse of power. Not in the fact that you manifested 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 of quest, there is still a temptation to evaluate oneself in terms of this world - according to the impressions made on others, according to earthly position and status. But if you exchange spiritual growth for obvious material achievements, then you will lose everything, and in the hermetic sense of the XVI Arcanum - about this. EITHER YOU HAVE ASSOCIATED POWER THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE, OR YOU ARE ASPIRED TO A PURPOSE TO WHICH YOU HAVE NO RIGHT. It symbolizes the collapse of an arrogant intellect that encroached on the mastery of the Secret Knowledge.

Shocking changes. The sudden decision to change the place of work (or even profession). Dismissal "like a bolt from the blue", leaving with a noise and crash, "slamming the door." Quarrels, stress, destruction of business relationships.

Professional failures. Defeat in the competition. Great crash. Abrupt project closure. Bankruptcy of the company.

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 works were in vain, and the meaning of life has also disappeared somewhere. Loss of prestige and influence, career collapse, removal from office, removal. Disaster resulting from abuse of power.
A risky venture, an unreliable business, an unsustainable enterprise.
Mainly military and sportsmen pass through the Tower professionally. It can also be an indicator of professions associated with clearing a place, destroying the old (and this can be radical psychotherapy).

The tower can literally indicate a house or structure, as well as the danger posed by them. Fire, destruction, robbery. The sudden decision to change the place of residence.
Financial structures built on the principle of a house of cards. Doubtful foundation of the case, if the past comes to light, all sorts of shocks will begin ("Do not worry, Kozlodoev, we will all sit down!")
Bankruptcy, financial ruin, economic crisis. Business destruction, financial losses. Need, poverty, deprivation, misery.
Breakdown of the deal.

Here, as in everything else, the Tower bears scrapping and liberation. And the person feels more “scrapping” or more “liberation” - that's another question.
Sometimes there is just a conflict passing through the Tower, and sometimes an indomitable sexual impulse, sometimes one passes into another ... but in any case, it is an explosion and the release of long-accumulated and suppressed feelings. If only something was kept under cover, restrained, tolerated, silent, waited, then the Tower is the hour of the explosion. The spuds are crumbling, the reins are torn, patience is bursting, in a word, the margin of safety is running out, sometimes completely treacherous. The direction of the Tower's interpretation can sometimes be guessed precisely by whether this period of "nuclear containment" preceded it, whether the clockwork was ticking. The previous nature of the relationship can also provide a clue. If the situation felt like a dead end, and the relationship (or lack thereof) was in character very reminiscent of the person himself in a prison, the Tower is "kicked the door and went out." Sometimes it is experienced positively, like a man doomed to life imprisonment experiencing the unexpected destruction of a prison in an earthquake - he gets out free, not experiencing any nostalgia for the wreckage.
The tower can mean the collapse of the previous relationship, which seemed stable and unchanging, or a very severe test of love or friendship, after which the opinion about loved ones changes. The ancient words “collapse as a result of wrong judgments and abuse of free will” are absolutely accurate, and you can only feel the extent to which this is so by going through all the drinking of the Tower. Its other 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 "revelations" often occur in the Tower - the long-hidden truth breaks out, a sudden understanding of the true essence of events arises. This may be the awareness of one's own dissatisfaction with the marriage, and the fact of betrayal, and other unexpected blows ("everything was confused in the Oblonskys' house"). On the Tower, secrets are revealed and illusions are dispelled.
The sudden loss of a spouse, knocking the ground out from under his feet. In practice, there was a case when the Tower indicated a sudden widowhood, the death of a wife, and a man, 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 of the zodiacal sign of Scorpio, and the tower itself is seen as a phallic symbol. She symbolizes the powerful orgasmic power of emotions that have been contained for a long time, but have finally gained freedom. Therefore, sometimes a sudden love passes through the Tower, which “jumped out in front of us, like a murderer jumps out of the ground in an alley, and struck both of us at once! This is how lightning strikes, this is how the Finnish knife strikes! " The direct 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). On the Tower, sex is possible spontaneous, very passionate, unexpected for the person himself, and sometimes violent. Sometimes a passion passes through it, which orderly destroys the lives 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 map. She says something will 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 he is not very afraid of even the prospect of staying at a broken trough (however, the energy of the Tower is such that the trough of that other will hardly remain intact).
A modern tarologist, writing under the pseudonym AlmaZ, says the following about the Tower: “The card can represent the 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; single people fall in love and tie the knot; women who have never had children take their last chance to conceive, and those who have worked boring jobs for years quit and walk to the Himalayas. For the sake of happiness and growth, everything standard must go away, so that it will be replaced by something that has been dormant for so long in the depths of our being. "

Diseases of the "like a bolt from the blue" type. Fractures, injuries accompanied by acute pain. Accidents, injuries. Burns. Shock. Sometimes sudden healings pass through the Tower, the disease can be “expelled” and “etched away”, but this, as a rule, also shakes the body to the core. Surgical operations. Radiation and chemotherapy.
Symptoms of freeing the body from toxins pass through the Tower - high fever, vomiting, all kinds of skin rashes. Hemorrhages, abscesses, suppuration, an attack of appendicitis, a ruptured cyst.
Heart attack, heart attack, stroke.
Age crisis.
Nervous breakdown, severe frustration. Panic attacks.
Mental disorders, rather psychopathic than neurotic (the old comic 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).

It is believed that the inverted position softens the action of the Tower: what is built will not be destroyed to the ground. It becomes less sinister and disastrous. This may not be so strong chaos, but it will continue to last longer. Or is it just a delay in a change that still has to be faced. It can also be misfortune, happily avoided at the last moment. But still, usually the upside-down Tower brings anxiety and pain.
In an inverted position, the card speaks of a strong dependence on existing circumstances, which at the moment cannot be changed - opportunities are limited, individuality is oppressed. A person follows his own footsteps along the same path, lives along the old track, ripening for a fundamental crisis of development, ignores alarming signals and clings to the status quo. He postpones necessary changes, softening the situation that is about to explode. Sometimes, on the inverted Tower, a person stubbornly denies a crisis, friction in a relationship, or even perpetrated violence, as if it were not there.
The card also advises against rushing to the destruction of old relations and connections, it is better to solve the matter peacefully, avoiding scandals and conflicts.

Traditionally, it is believed that it has a narrow meaning: tyranny, oppression, bondage. Deception. A shame. Harassment, persecution, persecution. In the French tradition, the inverted Tower symbolizes imprisonment, since according to legend, it was Napoleon who pulled it out on the day of his departure to Saint Helena.

"To suffer is to put on immortality."

“Truly the Lord is present in this place, and I did not even know! How terrible this place is! It is nothing but the house of God, it 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 thinking and trying to save belongings. There is no time for moral preparation either, whenever, and whatever happens on this map, it will be powerful and unexpected. Like a thunderbolt. The place that we felt as a safe haven, our fortress, suddenly swayed and now everything is engulfed in fire, everything where we felt protected from all adversity and enemies. The piling up tower of our views collapses and the familiar picture of the world collapses with it. At such moments, all the instability, illusory and fragility of the foundations, the ephemerality of the created goods and values ​​are acutely felt. All this overnight, everything that was created and earned for many years, everything that was significant and important. All of 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 is why it was destroyed, do not rush to restore the former on the rubble. Wait it out. Do not despair, very soon you will feel an influx of new strength! 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 foreshadow the end of the black stripe, very soon the dawn will dawn.

The 16th lasso punishes pride, inflated into the 15th lasso, suppresses all excesses, up to physical destruction. But first of all, it is a radical breakdown of the internal structure, a change in worldview. It is not the Tower itself that is bad, but the reasons why it was erected, how and with what means. Changes are sudden and undesirable under this card, but we must understand that only by clearing our way, we can move forward. This is how the surgeon decides about 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 formed the base, the foundation of our confidence, is crumbling. The destruction of the Tower is a symbol of forced cleansing. Only with time or thanks to a hint will we understand that in fact then we got rid of the ballast. We'll have to gather strength and meet the upcoming changes with dignity.

16 Arkan may also be a magic slap on the head from above, which was necessary in order to shake you out of the suspended state of inertia. 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.
