An explotion

The Tower, for many, alludes to the Tower of Babel. The reality is that I think like Jodorowsky, while for several tarotists is synonymous with catastrophe, if we read correctly the Bible we will see that history describes a teaching and a blessed act. It speaks of the explosion of something new that is born of the alchemical tower.

La Torre XVI

We see a tower and two characters

  • The Tower itself is in full blast. Making us understand big changes. Structures collapse and therefore, the human, will feel fear and anguish. But keep in mind that this is the process necessary to move forward. We must leave the ego, the false, the imposed, and the dictated, to find ourselves.
  • Regarding the colors of the same, we see that it has a flesh color, since it was just built by humans.
  • At the top we can see the fire flame along with the crown. It indicates that we are facing a process of transformation. Recall that if this can be interpreted as an alchemical tower, the alchemists were faithful to the concept of transmutation.
  • On the other hand, there are several interpretations of the two individuals. For several are falling from the tower, and for others are celebrating the release of energy as they are like Hanged, head down, seeing the world in a different way

In front of our consultant

In a query we can say that the process of change comes to leave us a teaching that is important that we adopt. I mention the word adopt because to learn is not only to be aware of the error, but to incorporate in us the tools not to repeat it again.

It represents that something collapses to give rise to a new construction. Something may collapse in us as well as a relationship that is not nurturing us. On the other hand, it may be that something explodes or comes to light. They will make themselves known several things of others or of oneself.

Inverted is an alert against sudden changes, a break or an accident.

Numerology

In this case it corresponds to the number sixteen. It is known to be a karmic number that corresponds to issues to be solved. It is the union of ten and six that corresponds with The Wheel of Fortune and The Lovers. That means that in the face of changes and new beginnings we will have to make decisions avoid taking the wrong path and thus clean our energy.

To Conclude

Jodorowsky tells us “The main message of the Arcanum could be: let us stop looking for God in heaven and find it on earth.” The Tower gives us an opening, opens the door to the recognition of changes, to see God in heaven. The earth and liberate our interior. At the same time, it is a teaching of humility, of learning to appreciate everything that surrounds us.
