The Tower
Things could be changing for you more rapidly than you’re prepared for. It may seem like your carefully constructed world is falling apart or that all that you’ve held near and dear (and previously believed was indestructible) is no longer capable of sustaining you.
This can understandably be frightening. In most traditional tarot decks the tower is a literal “tower” that has been struck by lightning and is crashing to the cliffs below. People are falling out of the structure (presumably to their deaths) while flames and smoke shoot from the shattered windows.
Yet if you consider the source of the destruction — the one earth shattering lightning bolt — you can see how it lights the whole sky, making everything momentarily clear.
The symbolism in this rendition is similar: in this version it’s a cluster of insects being struck by lightning rather than an imposing tower, but they tumble to the earth in much the same manner, losing a wing or a leg on the way down.
This is the basis of the Tower card. Plans may fall through, relationships may crumble, and cracks may start appearing all around you.
