the tower (tarot)

post #5247802 post #1736801 post #5125857

One of the Major Arcana defined in tarot. In typical portrayals, Tower is a crumbling structure built upon a tiny mountain peak. The Tower lacks strong foundation, and it takes only a single lightning bolt for the building to be sundered. Many depictions also include falling figures leaping from the Tower. A crown-like object falls from the top of the tower, furthering signaling the fall of a power structure.

In cartomancy, the upright Justice arcanum is interpreted as sudden change, upheaval, chaos, revelation, and awakening.
The reversed Justice arcanum is interpreted as personal transformation, fear of change, and averting disaster.
