Tower

Traditional Image: A stone tower, struck by lightning. Figures are falling from the ruined building.

Symbolism: The Tower is the foundation of your life and your beliefs, and it's under attack.

Overall Meaning: Whereas the change symbolized by the Death card can be either positive or negative, the Tower card offers no such hope. Your cherished ideals and beliefs are going to fall away, and you're going to be forced to question things you've never questioned before. It's necessary for your own growth, but be prepared for some rough times.
