The Tower - 20/11/23

The meaning of the card The Tower has to do with abrupt changes. Something may change regarding the situation consulted. Think of a structure or foundation that collapses. A relationship, a job, a friendship, and in some cases, even physical structures.

In a broader reading, some examples are losing a job, ending a relationship, breaking up a friendship, going into debt or even moving can bring contradictory feelings to light. You can think you know someone, or that you know the truth about something, and end up suffering a reality shock when you find out you were wrong. It's as if you see the situation you're looking at as one thing, when it suddenly turns out to be another, making it necessary to face your feelings, embrace the change, and move on, leaving behind whatever it is.

In a relationship consultation, The Tower may indicate the need to be more flexible with your partner. If you don't change, the relationship could be ruined. If you are looking for someone, you may have to change your concepts and attitudes a little to find the right person.

For work and finances, while it may indicate a change in employment, it may also suggest caution regarding your financial resources. Be careful not to spend too much, go into debt or take out large loans. Try to manage your resources a little more wisely.

However, these are just examples. The Tower may simply suggest that we are wrong about something and that we have the opportunity to correct our mistakes, even if it is painful. The basic meaning is arrogance, that is, we may be wrong about something and we need to recognize it, trying to correct our mistake. Whatever the case, things fall back into place in due time and harmony always returns.

The Tower is Tarot card number 16 and usually symbolizes an unexpected event, a chaotic event that has happened or is about to happen. It may be an intimidating card, but like other fear-inspiring Major Arcana, this one carries the message that everything happens for a reason and carries a lesson to be learned: that nothing lasts forever, which is why changes often come for a reason. our good.

The letter alludes to the Tower of Babel, that is, it symbolizes the arrogance of man, the ambition built on false premises. Legend has it that after the great flood, God ordered the survivors to scatter across the world to rebuild humanity. However, they decided to meet and live together. At one point, they decided to build a huge tower to reach heaven, a symbol of their pride, arrogance and ambition. As punishment, God made them start speaking different languages. No one could understand each other anymore and, in the midst of the confusion created, the tower began to collapse even before it was completed.

Mars is the planet associated with this card. The destruction of the Tower represents the end of a cycle of possible errors that gives rise to a new beginning. In this card, we see a tower on fire in the middle of the storm, people falling, in short, a true pandemonium. The people who fall from it are the same ones who did not manage to free themselves from the prison of the previous card, The Devil, that is, they remain imprisoned by negative situations.

The symbolism of the card also shows this sudden awakening of consciousness. It's like a sudden, fleeting glimpse of truth, a moment of inspiration that breaks the chains of ignorance that bind you. People who launch themselves without fear awaken with flashes of consciousness. The flames are the 22 Major Arcana and the gray clouds represent the misfortunes that stalk us indiscriminately.

In a reading for the present, this card indicates that a chaotic and unexpected event can complicate the situation. However, we must be open to change and use our common sense to navigate through the storm.
