Romance, Love Or Relationships:
When you draw the Tower in reverse, generally the concerns for a love relationship are not as intense as they are when the card appears in an upright position. However, it is an indicator that the relationship needs more work and more communication if it is to survive. Think positively and don’t focus on changing your partner, consider how you are contributing to the situation and ways in which you can improve your own part of the relationship. Take one step at a time and don’t lose your cool.
Card Meanings: Averting Disaster, Delaying The Inevitable, Avoiding Tragedy, Resisting Change, Old Ways, Rustic, Entrapment, Imprisonment
There are many aspects of the Tower that should remind us of the lessons to be learned within the Death card. All life is change – we can either surrender to this, or fight against it. What the Tower teaches us is that the power of life is undeniable. We can learn our lessons the easy way – by being open and accepting; or we can do things the hard way, clinging to things and ideas that no longer work for us. In that case, life will come along and, like a hurricane, batter us with the winds of change till we submit! So…on a Tower day, we need to examine ourselves to identify the things to which we are clinging that no longer serve us well. We need to be alert to the concepts life itself presents us with. So this day could be one in which people talk relevantly to you, without knowing that they are doing that. Listen carefully for random symbols which will point you in the right direction. When the Tower rules, it is possible that unexpected events will take place that you hadn’t seen coming. If so, remember that to resist change is to deny life, and bear in mind that life is eventually going to win this battle anyhow – so lie back, relax and accept. And keep your sense of humour close at hand!
Sometimes we will be asked to take a blind leap of faith under the influence of the Tower – remember this card signals breakthrough and extension – growth from experience, and self trust. Whenever you are unsure about your abilities to deal with things, remind yourself what you have already passed through in your life. There’s a river of knowledge flowing through you already. Sudden crises are life’s way of telling you to wake up. Something’s wrong, and you’re not responding. Are you too full of pride? Expect a blow to your ego. Are you holding back your anger? Expect the dam to burst. Are you stuck in a rut? Expect a surprise. How you respond to the Tower’s change makes all the difference in how uncomfortable the experience will be. Recognize that the disruption occurred because it was needed. Perhaps embracing the change is too much to ask, but try to find the positive in it. In fact, you may feel tremendous release that you have finally been forced in a new direction. You may have a burst of insight about your situation and reach a new level of understanding about it.

Elements of the Psychic World: After his wife of 52 years died in 1955 Jung began work on building a stone castle in his newly acquired property in Bollin-gen. He carved a number of alchemical and mysterious symbols into the stone and the on-going building and alterations to the tower represented to him an extension of consciousness achieved in old age.
Tarot Triumphs: 2 If you want to go further into the craft of story writing and editing, there are many good books available on the subject. For writing up your own memoirs, and a general approach to life writing, see my book Your Life, Your Story: Writing Your Life Story for Family and Friends (London: Piatkus, 2010). There is also another writing manual that I’ve come across that uses Tarot cards for writing exercises: Cathy Birch, Awaken the Writer Within: A Sourcebook for Releasing Your Creativity and Finding Your True Writer’s Voice (Oxford: How To Books, 2005) 436.

Elements of the Psychic World: When the media got hold of the story a search began for the identity of the ghost. It was suggested by Father Francis Edwards, a Jesuit priest and member of the Royal Historical Society, that it might have been Thomas Howard, the fourth Duke of Norfolk. During his lifetime Howard had been involved with plots to overthrow Queen Elizabeth in favour of Mary Queen of Scots. When Elizabeth found out about Howards disloyalty he was arrested, sent to the Tower of London and beheaded on 2 June 1572, at the age of 37. The description of Howard matched that given by Burks and many of the details about his life also matched.
