The interaction of these two cards indicates an unexpected but productive break from old traditions. This might concern stereotypes or unproductive relationships. The person these cards represent will break down the walls that limit them and gain new life force and fertility. This could manifest in starting a new job or relationship that will be much richer and more satisfying.

Combination of reversed card The Empress and card The Tower

In this case, the Tower represents a deep crisis or destruction that does not lead to the expected outcome. There may be problems in personal life or at work, but they do not result in the renewal or growth usually associated with the Empress. Instead, the person feels blocked or stagnant. This could be due to an unwillingness to change or an inability to embrace new opportunities.

Combination of card The Empress and reversed card The Tower

The situation here is different: stress or crisis, accompanied by the destruction of what was familiar and established, actually becomes a catalyst for growth and development. This can manifest in new opportunities at work or in personal life that arise from these difficulties. It's like a tree that was cut down suddenly sprouting new shoots.

Combination of reversed card The Empress and reversed card The Tower

When the reversed Tower combines with the reversed Empress, it means that the crisis or destruction did not lead to the expected growth and development. Instead, the person feels blocked or stagnant. This may be due to a reluctance to change or an inability to accept new opportunities. The situation may require deeper understanding and analysis to uncover hidden problems and find ways to solve them.
