The Tower is card XVI of the Major Arcana. Upright, the classic reading goes: Sudden demolition of the false: shocking, clarifying and ultimately freeing.
Reversed, the emphasis shifts: A collapse postponed or survived: rebuild on rock this time. Reversals are not “bad omens” — traditionally they point to the same energy turned inward, delayed or overdone.
