TOWER
An act of release is the art of surrender -- Mayhem. Destruction. Collapse of what never fit in to begin with. Needed recalibration. Shocking events. Surprise. Aha moment. Abrupt clarification. Empty space.
SHADOW: Starting fights and aggression toward others and the self. Stoking extreme emotion in others and amping up situations to gain attention. Making purposeful trouble. Breaking others down. Not knowing when to stop. Complete insertion of ego.
The Devil is vanquished, and the witch exits the maze to discover a raging storm. A gothic tower reaches toward the sky as a massive lightning bolt strikes it. A fireball explodes as the circular, crown-like top is knocked off the square tower-the destruction of something that never fit to begin with. A storm shakes the sky. Bats stream from the tower, seeking safety. A figure falls from the window. It is your old life and your old habits slipping away. Three windows echo the number of innovation. Their pyramid shape reflects the creative principle of the universe.
The Devil has been greeted, defeated, and integrated. All false, inauthentic things you have created disappear and fall into ruin. Everything changes, often in shockingly abrupt ways. Friendships shift. New people are attracted to your light. Opportunities come knocking. Tower moments can feeljolting and appear shocking to those around you as you make new and empowering decisions. Don't be sidelined when those you hold dear are surprised or unable to support you at first. The Tower requires adjustment from all parties. Friends and family expect you to adhere tot your traditional role. Your evolution makes them reflect on their own lives. Those who count will come around as the rest fall away. New opportunities beckon. The Tower is sometimes as drastic as a complete life makeover,a move, a new job, a complete 180-degree turn. Other times the Tower is a moment of crystal-clear clarity where there was once confusion. You are reborn in an ultimate aha moment.
