The Tower tarot represents change. But it is often a card that people are afraid of in the deck. Because the sort of change that the tower brings is sudden unforeseen and often interpreted as traumatic or catastrophic. Sometimes those events in our life are necessary. The change is necessary for us to progress.

So the events of the Tower, even if they are uncomfortable to move through, once we reach the other side of that change we can feel better on the path of our life. The Tower can also represent internal shifts. It does not have to always be actions placed on us from external means. It can be that we are growing and changing inside in positive ways.
