The Tower

Number: 16

Astrology: Mars

Element: Fire

Kabbalistic Path: From Victory to Majesty

---

Upright: Sudden upheaval, disruption, deconstruction, rebuilding, disaster, collapse, falling objects from heights, small conflicts accumulating into major issues, things unwilling to change suddenly forced to change, divorce, unemployment, bankruptcy, car accidents, illness, moving, “out with the old, in with the new.”

Reversed: Disasters arriving, internal disputes, mental breakdown, unexpected events, a last-minute wake-up call, greater harm caused by resisting change.

Card Description: A towering structure reaching the sky—the masterpiece painstakingly built by the little clouds—is struck directly by a lightning bolt, causing sparks to fly and walls to crack. Two small clouds at the top are flung down as the tower teeters on the brink of collapse. The crown at its peak, struck by lightning, is about to fall.
