The Tower tarot card meaning

Upright

Lightning strikes the tower and the crown flies off. The Tower is sudden change: something built on a shaky foundation comes down, and the truth gets let in.

Reversed

Reversed, the shake-up is being held off, or the dust is settling and you’re wondering what to rebuild.

If you pulled it today

If something just fell apart, it may have needed to. You’re safe enough to look at what’s left. Keep what’s solid, let the rest go, and don’t rush to rebuild the same tower.
