The
sixteenth card in the Major Arcana, the Tower, ruled by Mars, the Roman
god of war. Lightening hits the Tower and there is a bolt that knocks
the golden crown to the ground. It augers outmoded structures, inner and
outer, being smashed cleanly away, leaving the way for complete change.
Radical transformation is at hand. The Tower is symbolic of false or
outgrown values, which must fall away. Out of this destruction comes
the creation of a new structure. Possibly
a dissolved partnership, or the structure of your home is problematic, or in jeopardy.
The bolt of lightening represents inspiration and realization. Change
as a result of trauma, brings growth and clarity of perception,
depending on the attitude of the individual and how painful the
situation.
We can often become complacent in the familiar and can have some sort of shocking event that happens place and it shakes the very foundation of our values our beliefs, and what we thought was normal. This can be a positive opportunity, the heralds change, and positive growth, depending on our attitude. Introspection with humility, honesty and definitely having a sense of humour is essential. Getting real with ourselves, and with others, is the only way we can move forward with integrity. But regardless of what we do, the Tower is sure to fall away.
