As the myth tells it, the people needed the tower of Babel as their sign, in case they should be scattered, and no longer homogenous in case difference. Some readers view it as a personal revelation. When ill-dignified or for those who read reversals, the effects of The Tower are usually less chaotic, although still not necessarily pleasant and can still bring some form of collapse. At the very least, The Tower tends to clear out the clutter but it may shake your core beliefs about something in the process. A house built on unsound foundations will sooner or later collapse but then it can be rebuilt on solid ground. I tend to think of this card similar to the effects felt from an eclipse, as it often releases us from something we’d otherwise hang onto, regardless of whether or not it’s good for us. The card is associated with Mars, planet of war, violence, accidents or destruction.
Often, people see The Tower and consider it to represent complete ruin or destruction to an entire way of life, but it’s usually one event with reverberating shockwaves that tends to rock the boat. As with all the cards though, there are varying degrees in how it may be experienced, which can be easier to see with larger spreads. The Tower heralds a sudden change that can throw things into disarray, whether through an incident or news that reaches you, so it can have some shock factor attached. The Tower breaks through false illusions, leaving no option but to let go and move forward. The Tower tends to bring a bit of a shake-up and, just as the man plunges headlong from the building, it may release us from something we would otherwise cling to, perhaps through a false sense of security or philosophy. Just as we never know exactly where lightning is going to strike, the effect of this card is usually sudden, abrupt, and unanticipated. Most people are familiar with the image of The Tower and most of us prefer not to see it in our readings.
