The Tower
The Tower card brings harsh but necessary healing, brutally cutting away what is familiar and stagnant to make room for new growth. Though the process feels like destruction and death, it actually breaks down the rigid structures that prevent breathing and seeing in new directions. This painful transformation clears space for renewal and rebirth, ultimately allowing new life to flourish where destruction once occurred.

Card Meaning
This card heals from what is poisonous and hindering development. But it cruelly cuts away the familiar, making the process so painful that healing seems more like destruction and an end. In reality, it breaks down the stagnant and withered skeleton that prevents breathing and looking in different directions, clearing space for new growth and new life. Time will come when swallows will build their nest in the tower, announcing the beginning of new life and new times.
Visual Description
A tall, dark stone tower stands on a rocky summit with bright orange flames bursting from its windows and top. A jagged white bolt strikes the tower, and bricks or debris are shown falling away. Several black birds circle or fly around the tower against a dusky sky, with distant mountains in the background. At the tower's base there is a small reclining or fallen figure drawn in white outline, and a ribbon at the bottom reads 'THE TOWER' while the top shows the Roman numeral 'XVI'.
