The Tower: Yes or No
What answer the The Tower card gives to a yes or no question: “no”, and how to treat it.
Author: Max Raputum, Warsaw
The answer of The Tower: “No”
The Tower means the collapse of plans and sharp change, so in a yes or no spread it leans to “no”: what you ask about is shaky.
What the answer depends on
The answer depends on the strength of the foundation. If the plan is built on illusions, “no” will save it from the worst.
If the card is reversed
Reversed, the answer is “No”. The reversed Tower softens the answer: the crisis is already going slowly or you are avoiding it. It is better to admit the problem.
What to do next
Check the basis of the decision: what it rests on, and strengthen the weak places.
The answer in questions of love and work
If the question is about feelings: The Tower in love is a sudden collapse of illusions: a sharp truth, a quarrel, a break or an unexpected event. If the question is about work: The Tower at work is sharp change: a dismissal, the collapse of a project, a sudden decision.
How to check the answer
Check the answer with three questions: is there “a sudden collapse” in my situation? Is the lack of “revelation” getting in my way? What am I missing if I look through the theme of “liberation”?
