The Tower is at work around you when you lose your job, your fiance breaks off the engagement, you crash your car and have your wallet stolen all in the one day. It is The Tower that delivers such deep down desires. Maybe if I accidently overdose on cocaine and end up in hospital, then I will be forced to sort out my drug problem. Perhaps you want your husband or wife to find out about your affair and force a separation rather than sitting down and telling them you no longer love them. Not bothered to do anything about it ourselves, deep down we guiltily hope that something drastic will happen and act as a catalyst for the desired change. Maybe, you hope the company you work for will go bang and then you will have to do something about getting a new job. We may desire change, escape and freedom but we fear what that change will involve and all those things we might have to give up. Sometimes, when a situation is bad and we feel trapped, be it in a dead-end job, an unhappy relationship or marriage, way of life and even addictions, we may want to get out of it or change ourselves but we lack the inner strength, courage or energy to bring about such change.
On first impressions their tower looks strong, but then looks can be deceiving. They should have checked their building to see if it could stand up to the sheer force of such pressure.
Like a pressure pot when steam cannot escape, it has eventually exploded. Whatever they have been doing in their lives has come to a head and burst and we are now left with this dreadfully shocking scene. They may have been asleep when the blast shook them from their beds and out the window. By the look on the face of the man and woman, they had no idea this was coming, had no time to save their possessions or even to get properly dressed. Fire balls fall like droplets around them as clouds of smoke rise in the sky.
#The tower arcana windows#
Two figures, a man and woman have either been blasted out of the windows or have jumped to escape the flames. The crown on top of the roof has literally been blown off with the force, and flames sprout from the top, and out of all the windows. It looks as if an explosion has just taken place. In The Tower Card we see a tall narrow tower perched precariously on the top of a mountain. When too much pressure is applied these cracks split wide open and the whole lot can come tumbling down around you.
If you build your life, relationships, friends etc on rocky foundations, eventually cracks can appear. The Tower releases you, sometimes by force, from the enslavement of The Devil. The Tower is what happens when we cling on to things, people, attitudes or beliefs that are neither worthy of us nor healthy for us in mind, body and spirit. Change is forced upon you now whether you want it or not, although like in the Death card, this change is often sought on a Subconscious or Universe level. This change could be quite brutal, unexpected and destructive. When The Tower appears in a reading sudden change is coming and there is no way to avoid it.
If you thought that Death riding into town was bad enough, forcing you to make all those scary changes in your life, well you better brace yourself for the arrival of the energy of The Tower. (Card Descriptions Based On Original Rider-Waite Colors – Still Under US Games Inc.
