Upright Meaning
Sudden upheaval and revelation. The Tower strikes like lightning — a shocking collapse of false structures that, however painful, clears the ground for truth.
Reversed Meaning
Reversed, it's a disaster averted or a slower unraveling: resisting necessary change, or a fall that's softer but still demands you rebuild on honest ground.
