Hey there! I've never considered the Tower in the context of feelings, but one immediate thought that crossed my mind is intense anger and emotional bursting. It seems like the person associated with the card is quite upset with the querent. Perhaps the surrounding cards can shed more light on this.

What are your thoughts on this? Thanks for the assistance!

    If you view the Tower as a symbol of an ejaculating penis, it might signify a fleeting and casual sense of horniness, akin to a hit-it-and-quit-it scenario (contrasting with the Devil card, which could represent more common or routine horniness).

    Alternatively, the Tower could embody the anger of the "blow my top" variety.

    Considering the Tower is a Fire card, it might also indicate a sudden burst of desire or the revelation ("AHA moment") that the person harbors stronger feelings for the Querent than initially believed.

      WOW! That's a perspective I hadn't considered!

      Similar to you, Johny, I typically associate the Tower with the "I am mad as Hell and I am not going to take it" energy. I don't necessarily view it as inherently negative; sometimes, explosions can clear obstacles and kick-start progress. The interpretation hinges on the context—were there other cards involved, and which deck are you using?

      The Tower can be compared to a volcano, one of the most powerful forces on Earth. Like a volcano, it shapes and reshapes landscapes, influences weather patterns, and alters the composition of the air. While residents of places like Santorini may see these volcanic activities as minor inconveniences, they are manifestations of immense, uncontrollable forces beneath the surface. These events serve as a reminder that beneath our feet, colossal forces operate without regard for our awareness.

      Similarly, the Tower in tarot relates to forces that have been contained until the pressure becomes too much—then, containment becomes impossible. The perception of this card as negative might stem from our innate desire for stability, as change can be unsettling.

      However, change isn't inherently negative and can often be anticipated. The Tower signifies secrets kept for too long that finally come to light, a roof weakened by years of winters that eventually cracks, or the dramatic confession of a lover. The associated feelings are typically powerful and intense, not exclusively anger.

      Attributed to Mars, the Tower is the most masculine card in the deck, representing active energies, bursts of vigor, a sense of purpose, and industriousness. In a metaphorical sense, the sexual act serves as an apt analogy, with pressures building until a forceful release occurs.

        I don't consider those feelings positive. When I received it (though not in the feelings position), the girl I was interested in entered a committed relationship with someone else. So, you likely understand what I mean.

        Absolutely! The Tower, in this context, can be seen as a catalyst for self-discovery, urging the person to confront their true feelings and emotions towards the other person. The upheaval represented by the Tower becomes a transformative force, leading to a profound realization of one's emotions. It's a unique perspective that views the Tower's chaotic energy as a guide towards a deeper understanding of personal feelings. Thanks for exploring this insightful interpretation! 🌟🔮

        I really appreciated your perspective on the Tower, especially the idea of it being somewhat predictable. The analogy of the cracked roof, already fragile, adds depth to the interpretation.

        Your insight, along with Zena, highlighting the sexual aspect resonates with me. It's becoming clearer that the Tower can indeed symbolize the intensity of a sexual act.

        The Tower in tarot, akin to a volcanic force, symbolizes powerful and uncontrollable changes. Its negative connotation may arise from our preference for stability, yet change isn't inherently negative. The card reveals suppressed truths emerging, weakened structures collapsing, or intense confessions. Associated feelings are potent and not limited to anger. Aligned with Mars, the Tower embodies active energies and forceful releases, resembling the metaphor of a volcanic eruption or the intensity of the sexual act. Embrace change as a forceful yet transformative process. 🌋🔮
