Major Arcana · card XVI
The Tower
sudden change, revelation, collapse
Reading it upright
Lightning strikes a tower and people fall from it. It shows a shake-up that clears away something unstable. Readers often follow it with "what was built on a weak base?"
Reading it reversed
Reversed, the shake-up is avoided or delayed, or it happens inwardly.
Journal prompt
What belief of mine would not survive one honest question?
Study tip. Draw The Tower on purpose, set it in front of you, and write three things you can literally see in the picture before you look at any notes. Your own observations will stay with you longer than a keyword list.
Notes on this site are a starting point. Different decks and readers interpret cards differently, and a reading is never a substitute for professional advice.
