Questions people always ask
What does The Tower mean in tarot?
The Tower speaks of rupture that frees. It's a Major Arcana card, so it marks an important theme of the moment.
Is The Tower a good or a bad card?
Neither. In tarot there's no such thing as a good or bad card, only its message. The Tower shows rupture that frees, and what you do with it is what counts.
The Tower in love and relationships
The Tower brings down what was badly propped up. It hurts, and it clears. In love it usually follows a truth that could no longer be unseen.
A single card names the theme; it can't answer your situation. That's what the Love Tarot is for — it starts from your question and your context.
The Tower in work and money
The Tower is the sudden break — redundancy, a loss, a plan collapsing. It brings down what was badly founded and forces a rebuild on better ground.
To apply this to a real decision about work or money, the Prosperity reading starts from your question.
