What Does The Tower Tarot Card Mean

The real meaning of a Tarot card is always relative to the rest of the spread. I’d like to have a look at what the Tower Tarot card means but we’re talking very general terms here, I’ve stopped even entertaining the idea of single card readings because they’re just not accurate.

If you’re trying to get a real person (and not a generic website script) I suggest The Tarot Guru. Just send your question and get a reply within a few hours from a Tarot reader sent straight to your email.

Typically, the tower card is associated with the planet Uranus and the sign of Mars. Mars represents war, power, destruction, initiative, and calamity. Uranus represents the unexpected whether good or bad-sudden lotto winnings or a car crash. A reversal of the tower wouldn’t necessarily negate those energies, but it could mean that you experience some upheaval that won’t be completely destructive, that the chaos is beneficial to you or isn’t lengthy.

Any of the above could be true based on the imagery. This is why intuition is key. What do you feel when you see this card? What other cards surround it?

It would depend on the question being asked, the cards rounding it impacting the tower in reverse, the deck being used (they aren’t all the same) and where it is in the reading which impacts the answer.

I am not trying to be elusive, but the point is that unless you give the full context to the reading, the card in and of itself is determined on deck, the symbolisms found within the card, and how it reflects to a whole reading. What does the symbolism of the Tower card represent in full? In the Rider-Waite-Coleman deck the tower is the tower of Babel and the fall of empires.
