The Tower's Meaning & Messages
The Tower is a very powerful Tarot Card that indicates a prediction that is almost impossible to reverse or change: the momentum is so strong, you're gonna have to ride it out and hold on tight...
​
The Tower always indicates sudden changes, sometimes brutally quick. It often indicates the end of a cycle, the collapse of something that wasn't sustainable and will need to be left behind or rebuilt with completely new foundations.
​
It can also be the consequences of your actions catching up with you in an unexpected way.
