wisdom from the cards
Inverted, The Tower suggests you're aware that something is crumbling but are trying desperately to hold it together. You may be narrowly avoiding a disaster or delaying an inevitable reckoning. Sometimes it's better to let the tower fall than to exhaust yourself propping it up.
What are you desperately trying to hold together that might need to come down? What would you rebuild in its place?
The Tower is part of the Major Arcana (Major Arcana, XVI). Each tarot card carries meaning in both its upright and inverted positions — two facets of the same energy, offering different perspectives depending on where you are in your journey.
