I. The Description of The Tower Deviant Moon Tarot
On the card, there is a lightning bolt from the sky that hits The Tower. Two criminals fell to death when the tower began to collapse. The abandoned tower has collapsed. After the temptation, people lose themselves, in pursuit of personal goals, when we accept compromise and live up to our own desires is when our image collapses in the eyes of others. Or when you realize what you have built up all the time suddenly disappears.
That may be the first thought of all readers or yourself when looking at this XVI Deviant Moon Tarot card. Going back to the history of it, this is one of the controversial cards, not by meaning but by the origin of the name and but actually, the idea that the creator of the tarot from the early times wanted to send into is completely different. Nowadays, with more diverse variations from many authors, along with many schools, the meaning and the desired message to be conveyed has been somewhat homogenous.
Turning back to the more practical feelings and thoughts of the individual level, let’s get into some details of the Tower Deviant Moon Tarot card. First of all, we must mention the main character of the story – The Tower. Why is it a picture of the tower and not another figure? Whether it is as simple as the image of a building, Why is it taking the same construction and with the same purpose to live and work, but the symbol of the tower always has a much higher meaning? Surely many of us still remember the significant September 11 event which went into the history not only of America but also of mankind. The reason, of course, is not only the killing and wounding of many lives, but because the tower is a symbol of belief and freedom.
Over the years of development, throughout the history and culture of each country, the tower was built and designed with different purposes. Before the 20th century, the tower was built with two main purposes, the first is to save space in populated areas and cities and create a private or professional working space, secondly, it was the symbol of reaching the height of wealth, materiality, and prosperity that Western countries aimed for. In addition, the tower is also a symbol of the religion and cultural development of each country. Whether in the West or the East, we see many images of towers associated with Christianity or Buddhism or some other religions or cults. Because of the high, comprehensive, and outstanding image is how people put their beliefs or hopes out of everything around them.
The image of the Tower in Deviant Moon Tarot is probably closest to the Bell Tower in Italy but has also been modified according to the author’s intention. As you can see, we are looking at the front of the tower. From the top of the tower, one can guess some of its structure, a hexagon on a flat surface which is too difficult to break. The hexagonal image is first evaluated and recognized from the hive of bees – an image that comes from nature as a model of time and hard work. Besides, the meaning of the hexagon is balance, connection, sincerity, truth, love, equality, harmony, persistence, reliability, and tradition.
In The Tower Deviant Moon Tarot card, this tower is absolutely built with a single entrance, there are very few windows here as protection and absolute shielding within it. Brown is the color of seriousness, the color of the earth, which means stability, discipline, and encouragement. The white roofs covered above as a pure meaning without any doubts about what has been built – the protection for absolute belief.
A thunderstorm smashed the roof, penetrating the contents of the tower, like a crack, illuminating and destroying the preserved contents. Many people will say they don’t refer to lightning, however, it is one of the comments of the author. And let’s move on to some of the hypotheses of other authors that are quite accurate.
There is a saying: a picture is worth a thousand words. The news came like lightning strikes out of the blue, one can see from the light that is knocking on the tower, it is a symbol like a pair of eyes looking directly at it. If this is the tower of thoughts and soul that you built yourself from within, the eyes are what contributed to the killing of that image. Many theories with demon eyes are that when you look at a problem and discover more details deep within it, you are also the demon that destroys your dreams. The eyes are also symbols of the soul, a projection of clarity, hurt, and pain. Although the tower had not been completely destroyed, it somewhat ruined the perfection that had been created before.
Two men are falling, but no one is falling from the tower. Two sinners, one plunging down with his hands outstretched as support, the other lying there but enduring fragments from the tower that were falling on him, the hands shielded from the pieces. Black and white hands, opposing, like trust and doubt at trade.
No matter who they are, whether it is bright or cold, it doesn’t matter if they fall down, because every sentence and belief is gone. Half a bread may be still bread, but half the truth is no longer the truth. Have you ever wondered, have you been stubborn and turned to blame others? It’s like the way you torture those around you, like sinners, like the people who helped build your own tower.
Fortunately, no one dies here. The ground in which your tower is built is still illuminated and filled. The people will get bigger, you will see things in more detail, and above all, you will build a taller tower, though not perfect, you will understand it better. The structure of the tower is also related to the Octagon, a symbol of regeneration for a new generation, infinity, rebirth, and transformation. The corresponding astrology of The Tower Deviant Moon Tarot is Mars in Aries.

Crazy and desperate demons are freed from the ancient sanctuary, and nature conspires with human failures to destabilize society. Volatility is both collective and individual. Let’s learn that these images were created for educated nobles and clergy – remind them that they would lose the most if the hierarchy was overthrown.
Lightning is a worthy compensation for the sins of those who gain good fortune from exploiting or abusing others. The modern tagline can be revolutionary, showing that through drastic social change, oppressed people can find new hope for a better era. The Tower Deviant Moon Tarot experience comes like a bolt of lightning to topple the hierarchy of the old order, after which everyone can have a fresh start on more equality.
