The meaning of each tarot card - The Tower

The Tower card of the tarot is card number 16, and there's no denying it's not always good news. It speaks of turmoil and of negative upheaval, it shows emotions getting out of control and lives being turned upside down. If you see this card, consider the choices and actions you are taking in your life at this time VERY seriously. It could be that you are heading into disaster and need to reconsider. In this sense, I find the Tower card to be immensely helpful! If you can find the courage to make immediate changes in your life, you can avert dark and difficult times. 

But there is another positive side to this feared card in that it shows that after upheaval can come a fresh start. There is nothing permanent about your situation, you will not remain in troubled times forever. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again!
