Does drawing 'The Tower' Tarot card indicate a major event?

Ah, drawing this card often sends a shiver down people's spines. Seeing that tower struck by lightning, engulfed in flames, with people falling from it – it's certainly a frightening image.

To answer you directly: Yes, drawing "The Tower" card usually portends a sudden, rather dramatic change or event. You can imagine it as a sudden "earthquake" that shakes up your current stable situation, perhaps even causing it to collapse.

But it's crucial not to simply interpret it as "bad luck" or "disaster." This is the key to understanding this card.

Think about it: what kind of tower gets struck by lightning and falls? Often, it's one with a shaky foundation, built too high on false pretenses, or one that has long had internal problems.

So, the appearance of "The Tower" is more like a "moment of truth" or a "wake-up call." What it destroys are often those things that were already unstable, inauthentic, or limiting your growth.

Here are a few real-life examples to give you a feel for a "Tower moment":

• A relationship you've been settling for suddenly has its problems completely exposed by an event, leading to a lightning-fast breakup. The process is painful, but in the long run, it frees you from an unsuitable connection.
• A job you secretly disliked, enduring it only for the paycheck, suddenly ends due to company layoffs. The immediate feeling is panic, but it forces you to seek what you truly want to do.
• A belief or a friend you deeply trusted suddenly turns out to be completely different from what you imagined. The feeling of your faith collapsing is difficult, but it allows you to see the truth and rebuild your understanding.

Therefore, the arrival of The Tower is like a mandatory "deep clean" or "controlled demolition." It uses an intense method to help you tear down those false, unstable "dilapidated buildings," so you can rebuild something stronger and more authentically yours on the cleared ground.

If you've drawn this card, here's some advice:

1. Don't resist: When change comes, try to flow with it rather than clinging desperately to old, crumbling things. The more you resist, the more painful the process might be.
2. Look inward: Ask yourself, are there areas in my life where I've been deceiving myself? Are there relationships, jobs, or ideas that I secretly feel are wrong, but haven't had the courage to change? The Tower might be here to give you that push.
3. Believe in the power of rebuilding: Chaos and destruction are just part of the process. After the storm passes, the sky will be clearer, and the ground beneath your feet will be firmer.

In summary, drawing The Tower indeed means "something is going to happen," and it will likely be something that shocks you. But it's not a "curse"; it's more like a powerful "reminder" and a "turning point." It forces you to face reality, and while the process is difficult, the outcome often leads to a new beginning.

Oh dear, you've drawn the Tower card! Don't panic just yet. Many people's first reaction to this card is, "Oh no, something big is going to happen!" While this card indeed represents drastic change, it's not entirely bad news.

You can think of it as a signal to "tear down and rebuild."

Imagine you're living in a house that looks beautiful but has a rotten foundation. You might not even realize it, or you might have been pretending it was solid. The Tower card is like a lightning bolt, striking that house directly and bringing it crashing down.

This process is definitely scary and chaotic, making you feel like you've lost everything in an instant. But think about it: a house with a rotten foundation, even if it doesn't collapse this time, will eventually fall during the next heavy rain or minor earthquake, potentially causing even greater damage.

So, the appearance of the Tower is actually helping you "cut the Gordian knot" or "make a clean break." It destroys things that were already unstable, false, or no longer suitable for you (perhaps a relationship, a job, a belief, etc.). Although the process is painful, it forces you to face reality and clear out what isn't real.

Simply put, when you draw this card, you can ask yourself:

1. What aspect of my life feels like I'm "holding on by a thread" or "forcing it"?
2. Am I deceiving myself, pretending everything is fine?
3. What is something I should have let go of a long time ago but haven't had the courage to?

The arrival of the Tower forces you to let go, and then gives you an opportunity to rebuild something truly solid and truly yours on a clean slate. It's a painful process of liberation. So, yes, something "big" might happen, but in the long run, this big event clears obstacles for you and allows you to start anew.
