The Tower
The Tower foretells sudden, often disruptive change that clears away what was not built to last. Its destruction is painful and may force grief, but it also reveals what truly belongs in your life. Although the event is unpredictable and beyond control, it creates the necessary conditions for rebuilding and self-actualization. Embrace the hardship as a teacher and summon strength to heal and reconstruct after the storm.

Meaning
Divine Intervention
Are you ready for the kind of divine intervention that wipes the slate clean for a new start? Well, whether or not you're prepared, such a change is headed to your doorstep—and there's no promise that much will be left when it's done.
Destruction and Renewal
The Tower is a fiery card, burning through all that was not built to last. Whatever remains when the storm has blown away is truly meant for you. When the Tower comes, grieve as necessary, but also try to accept the experience. We all go through periods of the Tower in our lives.
Opportunity in Crisis
Never forget that chaos can be a ladder, and that the most frightening times can be opportunities for self-actualization. If you are in crisis, remember that what's happening must occur for you to move forward.
Unpredictability and Rebuilding
We cannot predict or control what the Tower will rend asunder. The Tower in the image has been struck by lightning; it's a chance event, an unlucky circumstance. Still, we can summon the strength required to rebuild our lives after we grieve and heal. Hardship is the greatest teacher.
Visual Description
A tall brick tower rises in the center of the card, its many arched windows filled with bright flames. A large crown has been knocked off the top and is tumbling through the dark sky while a jagged lightning bolt strikes from the clouds. Two small human-like figures are shown falling headfirst away from the tower to the ground below. The scene is framed by pink borders and stylized hills at either side, and the bottom banner reads "XVI LA MAISON DIEV."
