The Tower isn't the end of the world

It's scary and super dramatic, but in the end it leaves you feeling freer than you'd think.

Every time The Tower shows up in a spread, it always gives me a little jolt of fright. Lightning, fire, people falling… Honestly, it's the scariest card in the Tarot. But hey!, stick around for a bit and let me tell you why being scared of it is silly.

Only what was built on illusions, with no real foundations, falls

The Tower speaks of collapses that come out of nowhere: breakups, revelations, changes you don't see coming. The good thing is that it's not what's solid that falls, but what was built on false pretenses or lies. If something falls with The Tower, it's because it couldn't hold itself up.

A freeing kind of pain

It hurts like hell, no point lying. But after the collapse comes the calm. Sometimes, The Tower is the earthquake we needed so badly to stop propping up something that was already hurting us.

How to read it depending on its position

When we see it in the past, it means there's something still weighing on you. In the present, it's a warning that changes are coming, whether you like it or not. And in the future, rather than a threat, it's a heads-up: if you see cracks, better not to ignore them and check them yourself, instead of letting someone else do it for you.

Take a deep breath. The Tower isn't the end of the world; it's just the ground clearing so you can build something more solid.
