The Tower Tarot Card Meaning

movement and change ~ difficulties and hardship ~

-Pride comes before a fall-

The meaning of the Tower is a simple but unsettling one. It stands for dramatic upheaval and violent changes. The card depicts a scene of devastation where a tower is brought crashing down by a fork of lightening and represents a sudden dramatic reversal in fortune. For those who don't like change this card will not be welcome, as sometimes change does not give us time to adapt but can be abrupt and come without warning. However, sometimes that's just what we need: to be shaken up or given a wake-up call. Although it may not seem so as it's happening, it is times like these that can be most beneficial to us.
