The Tower
The Tower signals sudden, often violent disruption that shatters established structures and illusions. This collapse exposes raw truth and clears away brittle prestige, revealing foundations for rebuilding. The experience can be terrifying, whether as an external event or an inner revelation, and resisting it can make the fall harder. Leaning into the change allows you to salvage what is real and rebuild with clearer intention, while abrupt endings open space for unexpected beginnings and liberation that may feel like catastrophe.

Visual description
A tall, craggy stone tower stands on a dark mound under a stormy sky, struck by bolts of lightning that produce bright, jagged flashes. Two figures are shown tumbling from the tower midair while a crown and other debris fly upward; small glowing windows puncture the tower’s face. Ornate gold borders frame the scene, the number 16 appears at the top, and the bottom title reads "The Tower of Destruction." A carved jack-o'-lantern rests near the tower's base and a triangular stone lies on the slope.
Meaning
The scene opens with thunder and the smell of ozone as a tower is rent by lightning and its occupants are thrown into the air; the sudden violence clears what once stood. You feel the shock as structure gives way, a crown launched skyward, and the certainty of old plans dissolving into ember and wind; this is the moment when illusions fracture and raw truth is exposed. That disruption can be terrifying but also clarifying: rubble reveals foundations, and from that wreckage a new honesty can emerge. Sometimes the blast is literal and unavoidable, changing circumstances overnight; at other times it arrives as an inner revelation that forces you to abandon stale security. If you resist, the tumble continues inside you—delays or denial may make the fall harder and the lesson more painful. If you lean into the collapse, you can salvage what is real and begin to rebuild with clearer intention, learning how to distinguish brittle prestige from genuine strength. Expect abrupt endings that clear space for unexpected beginnings, and remember that liberation often arrives disguised as catastrophe.
