The Tower: Practical Tarot Exercises

Introduction

The Tower is the moment the illusion breaks. It can be a shock, a sudden ending, a truth that can’t be unseen, or a structure that collapses because it was never stable in the first place.

This card is often feared — and for a reason. But it also carries a strange mercy: it ends what was unsustainable, so you don’t spend years bleeding slowly.

How these exercises work

You’ll receive fictional client emails — the kind of messages professional readers actually get. For each email, we’ll assume you draw The Tower as your starting point. Your task is to write a reply like a professional reader: honest, compassionate, clear.

Then you can open the spoiler to read my sample answer. It’s not the right answer — it’s a reference point for tone, structure, and how to deliver difficult truth without cruelty.

And as always: you’re free to reuse these emails whenever you want and pull your own one card, three cards, or a full spread.

Exercise 1

📧 Fictional client email — “He left yesterday. Will he come back?”
Hi,
My boyfriend broke up with me yesterday out of nowhere. I feel like I can’t breathe. I keep replaying everything and I don’t understand how this happened so fast.
Please tell me if he’s coming back. I just need to know if there’s hope.
— M

🎯 Your Exercise (set card for comparison): You draw The Tower.

Exercise 1.2 

Now let’s imagine the reading expands and you’ve got 3 cards:

The Tower + The Star + The Eight of Cups

Exercise 2

📧 Fictional client email — “Should I invest in this business idea?”
Hello,
A friend wants me to invest in a business idea. It sounds exciting and he’s very convincing. I’d have to put in most of my savings, but he says it will pay off quickly.
I don’t want to miss a big opportunity… but I’m also scared of losing my money.
Should I do it?
— L

Exercise 2.2

Now imagine the spread expands to three cards:

Cards: The Tower + Seven of Swords + Four of Pentacles

Closing the Tower Exercises

The Tower teaches a hard skill: how to speak truth without cruelty. Sometimes the most compassionate thing a reader can do is not offer false hope — but offer clarity, steadiness, and a path forward.
