The Tower

The Tower

Major Arcana · Mars

Upright

sudden collapse, shock, exposed foundation
Something built on a false premise comes down, fast and without consent. It is brutal and it is clean — what falls was never sound. What is left standing afterwards can actually be built on.

Reversed

delayed disaster, averted collapse, fear of change
Either the collapse was survived and the shock is still being processed, or the structure is visibly failing and the fall is being postponed at increasing cost.
