The Tower

Your foundations are of salt,

your understanding is of sand

as your tower falls down,

where is it you 'll land?

The serpent that rises

from the depths of your will

the lightning that strikes

with precision and skill;

These things will come,

despite what you do

whether you sink or you swim

is all up to you.

The Tower is about upheaval,

destruction, chaos, and external

circumstances beyond your control.This

card represents the moments in life

when something suddenly and

unexpectedly alters your reality. This

card shows destruction within all the

elements, implying a complete upheaval

affecting all areas in life.

Reversed, this card indicates that you

are in denial, putting off the inevitable

even though it may ultimately be for the

best. It could also be a warning of

imminent destruction.
