16. The Tower

A tower struck by lightning burns, with two lambs falling, the crown-like top symbolizing material wealth and achievements, destroyed by the lightning. The scene is chaotic, representing oppression, darkness, and failure.

Upright Meaning

The Tower symbolizes disasters, unemployment, accidents, sudden changes, often uncontrollable by the lamb. The impact may deeply affect beliefs and security. Facing this card, some focus on material collapse, others on rational and spiritual downfall, symbolizing life's ups and downs. Major destruction leads to major construction. Though painful, short-term pain is worth a bright future. Listen to the message behind events.

Keywords: Disaster, destruction, revelation, collapse, sudden change

Reversed Meaning

Reversed, the Tower still collapses but more thoroughly, yet the lamb stands, surviving. It can mean prevention, rescue, recovery, or escaping disaster, with less severe harm. Changes are still evident but less intense, possibly controlling events, suppressing them, trapping oneself in the tower.
