The Tower

The Tower Description

• Disruption
• Crisis

The Tower is possibly the most feared card of the whole deck. It brings unexpected disruption and knocks our security. This card represents disaster and catastrophic events such as redundancy, the collapse of a marriage or a confrontation that leads to some sort of breakdown elsewhere.

This is the downfall of all that is flimsy and false, therefore, the Tower has an element of cleansing. Only that which is of true substance and importance will be left standing.
