The Tower is never an easy card to get. While it means new beginnings, it also means a total collapse of the old ways of doing things. This can be hard to hear, if you haven’t yet accepted this move, but often these changes can be incredibly positive and necessary. The snake is an excellent representation of the new beginnings the tower brings. Snakes shed their skin, abandoning the old totally. They’re also often represented as healers, such as the intertwined snakes of Hermes’s staff which is still the symbol of medicine today. The change of The Tower often comes with healing. Sometimes things have to fall apart totally to be rebuilt stronger.
