"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 Taurus in Health and Energy
The Builder
Mars against Venus-ruled Taurus is the harder planet arriving in the softer register. It will feel like being asked to do without something Taurus normally uses to smooth things over. Upright, this is surfacing whether or not it was invited.
When reading about health through a Taurus lens, the Tower card says that you feel like your body is a machine that should work the same way it always has, something you notice only when it breaks, and not worth disrupting your routine for. This has either meant ignoring a small signal until it becomes a crisis, or building practices so steady that taking care of yourself feels like coming home. The body has been sending the same signal for months and nobody has bothered to listen. The Taurus blind spot in it is the feeling that the ground is shifting under something they thought was permanent.
In practice that can look like the body making the decision for you, or a genuine reset. Whatever form it takes, it is surfacing whether or not it was invited.
