The Tower

Lightning splits a tower's crown, and two figures fall from its windows as the structure comes apart. It's the most abrupt image in the deck — but every tradition reads it as a false structure collapsing, not a stable one.

As a birth card, your life theme includes sudden, clarifying breaks — situations or beliefs that were already unstable finally giving way, often faster than you'd have chosen. What looks like disaster in the moment tends to read, later, as removal of something that was never going to hold.
