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.

plenum can you please do this for all of the cards please please please?
This. I feel you have broken into the main essence of each card, is exactly what I needed, I tried to go the other studious route with the royal road that Carla suggested, but it just wasn't floating my fancy.
I don't care much for the astrological connection or the biblical connections. I just want to know the main idea so I can more easily apply it to my life, and plus this would be a great teaching tool!
it's funny how then devil will signify the lack of light or the inward turning of light, selfishness, service to self, to contrast with the sun, who serves all.
It's one big transition to go from sts to STO.. or rather unawakened sts, to awakened sto
but please... do this for all the cards pleaseeeeeeeeeee
