The Tower is one of the most violent cards in Tarot. It shows unexpected changes or sudden realizations that in most cases, we are not prepared to face. That said, the Tower can also be the most cathartic card. It removes illusions and opens up new doors. The Seven of Cups is a card of options, daydreaming, procrastination and scattered energies. The combination of the Tower and the Seven of Cups show a release of energy after a sudden, shocking event. 

• A sudden change that brings options
• A shocking event, but illusion continues
• Resolution of a crisis
• Dreams/plans with no strong foundation
• Being in denial
• Loss of emotional stability
• A burst of emotions/insights
• Excessive drinking
• A lesson not learned
• Creating a consoling illusion
• Fantasizing about sex
• Too much happening at once
• Softening a blow
• Not being able to process a shocking event
• A disaster caused by bad habits
• An urgent and forced choice
• Seeing what you want to see
• Not making a decision even after realizing a certain truth
• Being unpredictable

The elements of the cards are Fire (Tower) and Water (Seven of Cups). A poor combination that shows a battle between the two elements, as Fire and Water are enemies. In this case, the fire of the Tower will be weakened by the water of the Seven of Cups, so the blow that the Tower usually represents will be softened, for better or worse.
