In the Tower card, we witness a young couple running amidst a windy and stormy environment. The gusts of wind and the approaching storm depict a sense of chaos and upheaval. The couple’s hurried movement signifies their urgency to escape the impending turmoil and find safety. The storm in the background represents a disruptive force that shakes the foundations of our lives. It symbolizes the breakdown of old beliefs, structures, and patterns that no longer serve us. The Tower card often brings sudden and unexpected change, challenging our current circumstances and pushing us out of our comfort zone. The young couple’s response reflects the instinctual need to protect themselves and seek shelter during times of crisis. Their actions represent the human capacity for resilience and survival in the face of adversity. While the Tower card may bring temporary chaos and discomfort, it ultimately paves the way for liberation, growth, and a rebuilding of their lives on stronger and more authentic foundations.
