"That thing that crumbled? It was supposed to."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
The tower signifies a breakdown-- like a coup of sorts. You are literally being thrown out of the tower you once called your home. While traditionally a negative card, sometimes you need a big change to reorient your whole life
Take this to heart, something was wrong and the universe is metaphorically blowing your life up for you, what you do in the aftermath is up to you. Perhaps a relationship ended (but maybe it was toxic the whole time), perhaps you were fired (but your free to pursue your true passion), perhaps it's a litany of things, but have faith in yourself and rebuild with your true goals and values at heart.
The universe is trying to guide you to make a radical change, but you are blocked from taking that guidance. Perhaps the clues from the universe are less obvious or perhaps you have an iron sense of will. Some things in life are meant to be hard, but you know the difference between doing a hard thing and doing something not meant for you. Use that judgment here; otherwise you are not living your own truth

The Tower for Scorpio in Work and Career
The Transformer
Mars sits outside Scorpio's usual Pluto register, so this one arrives as unfamiliar weather. Upright, this is surfacing whether or not it was invited.
When reading about work through a Scorpio lens, the Tower card says that you feel like work is where you need to know the financial truth before anyone else does, a problem to solve (or a power to hold), and something you will not announce until you are certain. This has either led to you becoming the person who understands the money and the leverage, or to you refusing to enter the room where decisions are made. You have not asked yourself what you actually want from this work, only what you think you should want from it. The Scorpio blind spot in it is the feeling of being fooled, or of being seen as naive, or of depending on someone who will leave.
In practice that can look like a change large enough to reorganise the rest, or the job becoming a different job. Whatever form it takes, it is surfacing whether or not it was invited.
