What does The Tower mean upright?
Sudden collapse, upheaval and a truth that arrives without warning. What falls now was built on foundations that could not have held. It is painful, and it is also honest — the illusion goes, the ground stays. The Tower clears in an instant what years of caution could not.
What does The Tower mean reversed?
A collapse delayed, a crisis narrowly avoided, or change resisted at great cost. You may sense the cracks and be shoring up what needs to come down. Meeting it deliberately hurts less than being caught by it. What must fall will fall.
