The Tower Tarot card signifies the collapse or destruction of a current belief. This card can be related to the replacement of a current belief with a new belief. Sometimes, there is a lack of confidence in the old beliefs and sometimes, the same goes on with the new ones. Hence, this card can also be related to chaos to some extent. This is because after such a transition, things need some time to settle down. The main problem is that the beliefs of a person are closely related to his identity and hence, change in these serves as a threat to one’s identity and feelings.

A person who is in association with The Tower Tarot card may also be violent for some time till things settle down. The main thing to remember is that one should be sensitive to change and should not hold onto the past for too long. The outcome will be more hazardous if the person can not let go. Fanatics, terrorists etc, have extremely rigid views, so, they expect all the non-believers to change, usually by force and coercion. The main thing that is required in such a situation is enough rigidity to stand up, but of course with some flexibility.

People with a prominent Tower Tarot card signify that they have not integrated or accepted a change in their perceptions. The Tower prominent in the future shows that views will change soon. Maybe they are already preparing for such an event, so it will beholden upon the tarot reader to help them face up to accommodate the change. According to some Tarot card readers, The Tower Tarot card signifies the force of nature re-establishing the truth distorted by men. This card can be related to distress, poverty, dearth, need, destitution, catastrophe, adversity, misfortune, pain, torment, sadness, trouble, punishment, awakening, disgrace, inflexibility and harshness.

Occult explanations attached to this card are meagre and mostly disconcerting. It is idle to indicate that it depicts min in all its aspects, because it bears this evidence on the surface. It is said further that it contains the first allusion to a material building, but The Tower is more or less material than the pillars. The Tower Tarot card signifies the materialization of the spiritual world. Other things that can be related to The Tower Tarot card are misery, indigence, calamity, deception and ruin. This card mostly signifies unforeseen catastrophe.

The Tower has been spoken of as the chastisement of pride and the intellect overwhelmed in the attempt to penetrate the Mystery of God, but in neither case do these explanations account for the two persons who are the living sufferers. The one is the literal word made void and the other its false interpretation. In yet a deeper sense, it may signify also the end of a dispensation, but there is no possibility here for the consideration of this involved question. Thia card even signifies destruction on the intellectual side.
