The Tower Meaning

Prompt:

Are you prepared to embrace traumatic change to achieve a better tomorrow?

Live the Tarot:

Prepare for disaster before it strikes but learning a new coping mechanism. It can be as simple as learning to change your own tire or as deep as examining examples of unearned privilege in your life.


Artist’s Notes 

For the Tower, I was inspired by the DotCom bubble burst when Amazon stock decreased by 86%in 2002. In my card, several tech oligarchs throw themselves out Windows rather than live a life where they are no longer rich or powerful.

Traditionally, the Tower represents massive, unexpected, unwanted change, destruction and chaos. Reversed, you may be fruitlessly resisting a change you can’t avoid, undo or delay.

LOVE: You may find an unwelcome event in your love life so radical that your entire world view changes.

MONEY: Build up your savings so you are better prepared for the unexpected- you know like when a global pandemic strikes.

HEALTH: An unexpected change in your health status causes you to re-examine everything.

CAREER: You may find a change of position is going to happen whether you want it to or not.
