What do you take from this card?
The Tower sits in the Chain of Spirit. It is the second card:
Devil, Tower, Star, Moon, Sun, Judgement, World
if we ignore the first card, and the last 2, we have:
Tower, Star, Moon, Sun.
this forms a direct sequence, because the true name of the Tower is the Lightning Struck Tower.
the sequence now makes sense because it represents increasing intensities and consistencies of Light, ie,
Tower: a flash of illumination in a dark stormy Night
Star: a brief flickering speck of light, that lasts for hours
Moon: an orb of light that waxes and wanes over time
Sun: a steady bright life-sustaining Light that illuminates All
you can see that the Tower kick starts you on your Journey. It is normally considered a disruptive card, because the Flash of Lightning shows you something that you hadn't seen before, didn't even know existed. It changes your opinion or perspective on Things.
