Her take

Here's what this card actually is: a structure that was never as solid as it looked, finally giving out. Look at where that tower was built, on a narrow spike of rock, with a crown perched on top like a bad idea wearing a hat.

The rest of her read

Where The Tower lands on the Fool's Journey, what its number does to a spread, how it reads next to another Major versus next to a court card, and what changes when it shows up upside down. Every one of the 78 has this, written once, in her voice.

This is the library entry, the card on its own. In a reading she reads The Tower against the cards around it, its position, and your question, and that's where the actual story turns up. No card means one thing every time.
