The Tower

Upheaval · revelation · breakthrough

“Something built on a shaky foundation is about to wobble. Let it. You'll build the next one better.”

Yes or no: No

Upright

A sudden shake-up clears what wasn't built to last. When this card shows up, it's rarely subtle: notice where in your life it's already happening.

Reversed

Delaying an inevitable change. Reversed, the Tower says you're bracing for a collapse that's smaller than you fear. Breathe.

In love

A truth comes out. It hurts, then it frees you. A truth comes out. Better now than later.

Work & money

A shake-up clears the way for something better.

Yes or no?

Leaning no, or not yet. The card asks you to wait or rethink. Want a straight answer to your own question? Ask the yes / no card.
