The Tower
upheavalrevelationsudden changebreakdown
The Tower is struck by lightning, crumbling what was built on illusion. It is the most feared card in the deck, but what it destroys usually needed destroying.
Upright Meaning
Something built on a false foundation is collapsing. This is disruptive and uncomfortable, but what replaces it will be more honest.
Reversed Meaning
Avoiding an inevitable collapse by propping up something that should fall. Or a disaster narrowly averted that still leaves you shaken.
