The people seem to be falling back into their windows, the crown (emblematic of arrogance, of the tower proclaiming itself king and on par with heaven) is shooting a bolt into the heavens instead of vice-versa, and the foundation reigns supreme (as compared to the crown on top). Reverse it and it's almost as if the film is being shown backwards. It's like a frame of film, a frozen moment in time as the tower is struck by that bolt and folk go flying. Unblock that energy, and the truth will come out.ģ) Upside-down: In the Rider-Waite deck, the Tower is one of the few major arcana cards which places the viewer in the middle of the action. Someone or something is keeping the Tower of lies safe from revelation and destruction. However, someone or something is keeping the words ("The Emperor has no clothes!") from being said. The difference is that there is a desire for the truth to come out. Very like in the opposite interpretation, the blocked interpretation suggests that things will remain in the dark and standing. So everyone maintains the lies, and the status quo goes on.Ģ) Blocked: The energy of the Tower is in that lightning flash, the energy of illumination and destruction. And lucky for him, no one is going to say it. The message of the Tower is "The Emperor has no clothes!" but the reversed Tower, in this case, indicates that the querent doesn't want to hear that, refuses to hear it, refuses to believe it. The querent may breathe out a sigh of relief -he's gotten off easy. The Tower remains standing, the lies remain in place, the truth remains hidden. However, what about Reversed?ġ) Opposite: The easiest opposite is that there is no shake-up. All that is left is the bare, harsh truth on which something more stable and real can now be built. What seemed to be stable is not, and comes crashing down. With that flash of lightning - the insight that illuminates a dark landscape - the truth is revealed. And there in lies the trick of the Tower. It certainly signals a powerful shake-up that will bring down structures that the querent thought were stable.but really weren't.
