The Tower Card in the Tarot

The View from The Tower

The Emperor's companion card in this astrological comparison is The Tower, card number 16 in the Major Arcana -- depicted in the art imagery and in the title in some decks as The Lightning-struck Tower. How's that for a metaphor of fundamental Fire energy? The Tower corresponds to Mars, ruler of Aries, the energy of primal force, initiating action, and the archetypal Warrior's own unmistakable dominion.

When You Need a New Perspective

Change in a Flash of Lightning

The Tower represents action, change, and power of amazing dimensions ... perhaps not enough to move mountains, but enough to give plenty of pause to someone in whose reading its presence is an issue. Its energy speaks of disruption, sudden, unexpected, sweeping change, even "catastrophic" change. It depicts the overthrow of existing ways of life and old ideas. It is, truly, a moment when the world shakes ... and afterward nothing is the same.

When the Walls Come Tumbling Down

The Tower reversed is one of the minority of cards that are actually more comfortable and more positive in their oblique and indirect energy. In the case of The Tower, it would almost have to be. Reversed, The Tower can represent some more subdued, inner, private change. It often depicts a major change that is already well known and underway, an ongoing process of change that is still unfinished. You are still adjusting to your new circumstances.

Mars and The Tower

As an Aries, The Tower card -- associated with Mars, your ruling planet -- is an additional source of wisdom and strength, a piece of power for you to use -- and certainly keep in mind, as you work through this life to the fulfillment of your destiny.

Most Tarot decks show The Tower as a building at the moment of a lightning strike, an instant of unexpected and thunderous destruction, the chaotic crisis in which everything changes and nothing that was before will ever be the same again.

If you are an Aries, this figure, this archetype, and the meaning behind it ... issues that center on coping with major and catastrophic change ... is your source of inner fuel, the director of your perspectives and the "tool" you can use to handle these experiences as they are introduced into your life. They also are part of your "life's mission."

The Tower

When everything seems to be crumbling around your ears, it can be very difficult to believe that things can and will get better. But, despite the fact that The Tower represents disruption or collapse of certain aspects within your life, these very events can often lead to brand new possibilities.
