The Tower (Tarot) is one of the most dangerous and difficult cards in the magic deck. She does not bode well. If you are unlucky, and an ominous picture flaunts in the alignment, get ready for the troubles and negative changes that you may encounter in the near future.

Direct position

"The Tower" signals big changes in life, and usually they are unexpected and unwanted. The card indicates instability, ups and downs. Characterizing a person, he predicts an aggressive state, anger, hatred. The individual is waiting for conflicts and quarrels, the destruction of ties and even criminal situations associated with violence. If you get the "Tower", the Tarot warns of the collapse of what you are used to. The course of life will abruptly change course and, perhaps, upset the balance. Although sometimes such shake-ups are only beneficial, forcing a person to make innovative decisions.

The "Tower" shakes everything that is stable, making it malleable and weak. Therefore, if you were previously imprisoned in the shackles of circumstances, get a chance to break out of a limited space. Illumination, inspiration, desire will comeact. The card always indicates the intervention of higher forces in everyday life, recklessness and crises. Do not be afraid to survive them: such situations strengthen the will and help to find weak points in the way of life.

Map upside down

On the one hand, the “Tower” (Tarot), whose meaning in an inverted position is not so sinister, means the end of the black stripe. At the last moment, you will be able to avoid the misfortune that was about to fall on your head. It will turn out to bypass the circumstances at a time when it will already be very bad. On the other hand, despite all the efforts made, life can continue to crumble. There is an option that you will come to terms with failures and will no longer react so sharply to them.

The inverted "Tower" indicates the last efforts of a person holding on to the straw of salvation. Or he says that you are an individual who, being blinded by self-confidence, convinces himself that everything is in perfect order. In fact, the situation is getting out of control: an explosion is inevitable. The interpreters say that there is not so much danger in this card as discomfort and confusion. Although the French are sure that the picture necessarily portends imprisonment, since it was Napoleon who pulled it out of the deck before leaving for St. Helena.

Relationships. Direct position "Tower"

Means the collapse of a relationship that seemed stable and proven. Perhaps a severe test for lovers, a crisis that will test the bond. After the events experienced together, your opinion about a loved one will change - most likely for the worse. The “Tower” will destroy the illusion that the other half is faithful and reliable, and the relationship is pure and bright. If there are positive cards nearby, they indicate getting rid of the suffering that your partner causes you. As you can see, it has two interpretations: "ashes" or "cleansing storm." What awaits you specifically, you will have to experience on your own skin.

For marriage, the "Tower" is also negative. The tarot value in the relationship gives the card a negative one, indicating a difficult period or even a divorce. It is possible to expose a spouse, discover secret lovers or intrigues cunningly woven by rivals. The card also hints at your perceived dissatisfaction with marriage, an understanding of its deceit and immorality. Sometimes the "Tower" portends early widowhood, suffering and regret of a man with nothing with a small child in his arms.

If the card is upside down

In this position, the "Tower" is more favorable: the Tarot gives it a negative interpretation, but not a catastrophic one. That is, you are aware of the hopelessness of relations with a partner, but do not want to break them. Trying to keep in touch can bring the desired results, but will it suit you? If everything is held on by a thin thread, is it worth putting off the gap that is inevitable? Temporary truce - that's what awaits you. But, you must admit, this is far from the eternal world that you dream of.

The inverted "Tower" is also a herald of unpleasantexperiences, emotional outburst. There may be a great loss in a relationship, a major disappointment, painful experiences. All these feelings will poison your further existence. Mournful loneliness is indicated by a card, which during the alignment is located next to the "Hermit". When the "Strength" accompanies this lasso, the "Tower" (Tarot) changes its meaning: a person will have to gather all his will into a fist in order to withstand the blow of fate.

Work

Again, problems await you, but already in the professional sphere. The loss of a stable job, a decrease in income or even complete bankruptcy, a reduction in staff, which you also fall under, a severe reprimand, the collapse of an enterprise - this is a small list of those "surprises" that the future has in store for you. Stress from unfulfilled plans and reports, conflicts in the team, repairs in the office, and even a temporary move also promises the Tower. Tarot director's attitude to your mistakes in this case predicts bias - with all the ensuing consequences.

You can completely lose authority and influence, lose in competition. Get ready for removal from duties, removal from office. The main thing is not to panic. Wait out the unfavorable period on vacation or on sick leave, in extreme cases, try to go on a business trip under any pretext. Of course, business failures are also possible away from home, but the chances of encountering them are still significantly less than if you are specifically at the workplace.

Inverted "Tower"

In the professional field, you are in danger of stagnation. Especially if the activity is creative: get ready for a crisis, the muse will leave for a long time, fantasy and imagination will cease to delight with new ideas. The card promises little good for representatives of another kind of activity: obstacles and troubles will take you by surprise and confuse all plans. Although in some cases the "Tower" (Tarot) has a positive interpretation: it can hint at the completion of repairs in the office, the restoration of the destroyed, finding a new job.

An inverted card can mean money problems. If you have this lasso in the layout, pay attention to the financial transactions that you make. You can be deceived or robbed: from a wallet on the street to fraud with a personal bank card. Freeze assets and try not to make big purchases. The card paired with the "Empress" indicates that a particular person, perhaps from a close circle, is profiting at your expense. If the "Ace of Wands" is nearby, then expectations may collapse, which at first seemed promising and profitable.

He alth

In the future, serious problems lie in wait for you: there is a threat to get into a big accident and get a lot of fractures. Do not get behind the wheel, be sure to fasten your seat belts in the passenger seat. The dropped "Tower" (Tarot) also has the following meaning: you will need an operation due to sudden he alth problems. The disease will not be "long-playing", on the contrary, it will hit you like a bolt from the blue. It could be a heart attack, a burn, an accident, an injury, and so on.

The card in most cases predicts complications associated with the work of the heart. There is a threat of stroke, cyst rupture, hemorrhage. In some cases, "Tower" indicates undermined he alth. To avoid such diagnoses, try not to take risks: avoid hard physical labor, stress, do not drink a lot of alcohol and stop smoking. Start living a he althy lifestyle: the card hints that now is the most auspicious time for this mission.

And if it's the other way around?

If in a direct position the card speaks of physical complications relating to the body and the organism as a whole, then the inverted one indicates mental problems. Perhaps a person will become a victim of depression, suffering, personal experiences. His sleep will be disturbed and his appetite will be lost. Apathy will come, interest in everything that happens will disappear. Psychosomatic illnesses are also possible. For individuals prone to bad habits, the aggravation of pernicious passion prophesies the "Tower" inverted. Tarot, interpreting the lasso in this position, indicates the development of alcoholism, addiction to drugs, gambling.

If in the recent future you had surgery or were seriously ill, this sign is favorable for you. The "Tower" speaks of a successful rehabilitation period, prophesies the restoration of the body and a return to a normal lifestyle. Direct all your efforts to the recommended daily routine to get back on your feet faster, feel cheerful andvigorously.

Combinations

It's good if the card is next to "Temperance" - it reduces the negative influence of the "Tower", pacifies it. The position next to the “Star” is also good: it indicates that, no matter how difficult the difficulties may seem, they will end quickly and without consequences. In the minor arcana, the “Six of Wands” (Tarot) is positive: “The Tower”, the combination of which with other cards usually does not bode well, here indicates the success and approval of society.

With the rest of the cards, the Arcana has a negative meaning. For example, a position with the "Magician" predicts retribution for permissiveness, "Jester" - danger, "Chariot" - a catastrophe, accident, accident on the road, "Empress" - bankruptcy, with the "Wheel of Fortune" - important changes, with the "Sun" - he alth problems. If the "Emperor" is standing nearby, get ready for the fact that you will be forced to defend your interests. "Hierophant" in the neighborhood - expect a crisis of faith, "Lovers" - urgently make a decision, "five of Pentacles" - get hard financial times as a "gift", "nine of Pentacles" - a whole bunch of different problems.
