The sixteenth card in the Major Arcana is the Tower card. This is considered one of the most negative cards in the deck. This shows chaos and fire and is terrible to look at when drawn. Even if this card appears, know that a Tarot reading is offering insight, not fortune telling. Change your path and the reading can change as well.
The Tower card shows destruction and conflict and can be scary.
Past
In the past, the Tower shows that you have had events happen in your life that is traumatic. This can be far from now or recent, but you are still affected by it. When you experience traumatic things, it is hard to forget them. This could be a death or a loss or someone cheating on you. This happened in the past, and you have to learn to grow and take charge of what is happening now.
Present
The Tower shows that you have a conflict that is close to you, and you are going to face it. You have to deal with it and not be upset about it. Just expect it to come. We all face conflict in our lives, so face it boldly and then move on.
Future
With the future of the Tower card, you will see challenges that are to come. See what is happening and learn to deal with it without worrying about it. See signs of things and know if something is going to fall apart. If things do fall apart, they were not meant to be at this time. Be open to change and challenge. Both help us to grow.
Work
In your work, the Tower sees things as being hard. If you work with someone, you will need to try to get along with them and not let them bother you. If you can’t do that, have a plan to move on. You might have a test or something big in your life and get a bad report.
Love
With love, the Tower is not a good card. Know who you are and what your partner is feeling for you. Something bad could happen, and you might need to think about if you should be with your partner. They might cheat on you or lie about you. If you have proof, talk about it.
Friendship
You will not have a good sign with the Tower card with friends. Look at who your friends are and see if they are dangerous or have a secret about you. Sometimes those closest to us are the most dangerous and we do not see it or do not want to because we desire the friendship. So, take an objective look at all your friendships and see if toxicity exists, then cut it out of your life.
Finances
Finances with the Tower card are good. You have to save your money and learn not to buy things impulsively. Just because things are good now it does not mean they will remain that way forever. Set something aside for a rainy day.
Health
Your health with the Tower card means that you need to listen to your body more. Don’t be lazy, and this can cause diseases. You might be clumsy, so don’t break a bone. Focus on staying or getting healthy, but do so with caution so you do not end up with an injury.
Spirituality
Your spirituality might have a breakthrough with the Tower card. This means that you can stop believing in things that you believed before. You can also find different things in your life more appealing. Be open to exploring new beliefs even if it was something you would not consider at an earlier date.
Reverse
The Tower, in reverse, means that you have things that are not safe and that you have bad influences in your life. You might expect some news to come that is bad, but you do not give up. Do not worry, and know that you have time to prepare for this. Things are sometimes bad, and you cannot control that, but you can control your reaction. Think before you act.
