Can you build something stronger, more resilient, on more stable ground? Reversedīeing in denial about change doesn’t prevent change from happening. Instead of mourning what has been destroyed, consider the precarious foundation it was resting on. The Tower is a lesson in humility, reminding us that what we build can be knocked over at any time. You may feel confused, shocked, or discouraged. Numerologyġ6 = 1 + 6 = 7: Wisdom, introspection, understanding, stagnation UprightĪ sudden change leaves you feeling unstable and insecure.

#The tower arcana windows#
Flames emerge from the windows of the building as two people jump out to escape. A large golden crown, formerly on top of the tower, falls off from the force of the lightning strike.
Lightning strikes a tower built on a precarious foundation. Reversed: fear of disaster, avoiding change Description So the card of the Tower signifies the relation between macro- and micro-cosm and will mean rupture, sudden disillusion, disenchantment, but also it symbolises intuition, renewal, help from above and clear insight in relation to vanity and sham projects, illusion and meaningless formalism.Upright: sudden upheaval, destruction, awakening has put it very clearly in this quotation: "Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it." utterly fails in giving any elucidation of this relationship. The Hebrew letter Ayin is addicted to this card. ( P.), but the universal and every day significance is: the renewal of the form, or rather of embodied life, by the force of Heaven, and of microcosm by the life of macrocosm, which incidentally of course breaks up forms here and there, if they are no longer fit for survival the house of doctrine as well as every structure made by vanity, dogmatism and separativeness. the ruin of the house of life, when evil has prevailed therein" ( W.) is one of many possible occurrences it may signify 'blighted ambitions and hopes,' etc. The general meaning, however, is not incidental but essential. This may warn man, not to build upon physical existence alone or to think himself safe upon a material basis, however high and solid it may appear from a material point of view.
Still Ouranos and Poseidon were known in Greece as well as Dourga and Varouna in India.Īnd the stone tower struck by a flash of lightning is another version of the legend of Ouranos mutilating his son Chronos, which means, that Heaven is not content with a body of fixed dimensions and form, nor any heavenly force with the limitations put to itīy physical authorities or architects. Later ages added very little, if anything at all, to those original explanations. "Occult explanations attached to this card are meagre and mostly disconcerting." ( W.) The reason for this is easily seen: the principles of Uranus and Neptune were not much known in antiquity save that they were the general principles of the Heavens (the Air or also the atmosphere) and the Ocean, and as such we find them in the Pantheon and in the original Tarot, not yet as the much later discovered planets, which personify these general cosmic principles.
