The Tower tarot card meaning

upheaval · revelation · collapse

Major Arcana

Upright meaning

A sudden shake-up removes something that was not built on truth. Painful, but clarifying.

Reversed meaning

A disaster narrowly avoided, or a collapse you are delaying at increasing cost.

Symbolism

Lightning strikes the crown — false authority knocked off first. The falling figures survive the fall.
