The meaning of the The Tower card in a Tarot reading

XVX The Tower

Mars

Expect the Unexpected. Chaos, bizarre events and destruction. Remain calm in the face of unexpected changes and listen to the inner force that reassures you everything is going to be alright.

The Tower represents a structure of false or outgrown values. Your attitude to life no longer supports you and needs to be surrendered so that you can grow. This can come in the form of a flash of enlightenment, allowing a new understanding of life. The Tower brings the change you longed for but feared. This change can be sudden and sometimes violent, particularly when you resist it. Often your subconscious mind calls for this change to free you from the restrictions around you, and your attitude to the change will determine whether it is exciting or painful. By handling problems in a grounded and realistic manner the Tower need not occur. The Universe does not allow people to live far from their spiritual path forever. When we become stuck and cannot free ourselves peacefully, life does whatever is necessary to free us.

When The Tower appears, it’s time for change. It is too late to prepare for change, or how you would like to change, but simply a time to release the old. For you to move on, you must accept that some things have been and will be lost, and that inevitably certain elements of your life must be let go before they can move on.

Even though the process of destruction is painful and difficult for you to undergo once you have picked up the pieces (or others have picked up the pieces for you!) You are liberated and freed from a situation or relationship that was negative or holding you back. Sometimes the Tower appears when you feel trapped or unable to move forward because of outside obstacles, and the Tower’s destruction clears the way for you. Unfortunately, it clears everything else out also.

When you surrender to the forces of the Tower card you will see a resurrection in your affairs and improved conditions, but on a much stronger, firmer foundation. Unexpected luck or good fortune. New opportunities appear or success and recognition for your talents. If you refuse to accept this, you will be stuck reliving the destruction over and over, but once you let go of what was lost, you are free.
