 | The Tower of Strengths |
|
The Tower is made up of some characteristics and personal influences which can give you strength. At the base is the Bible, symbolising religion, a solid foundation for many people’s lives. |
|
Kneeling on this is Atlas for physical strength, but instead of supporting the sky, he is holding a brain, for the power of the mind. |
|
The Castle above symbolises your home, a place for sanctuary and security. The Figures inside the Castle doors are a family unit. |
|
Above the Castle are your circle of close Friends, pillars of strength and support. |
|
At the top of the Tower, Yin and Yang, balance and harmony in life. |
|
The Clown symbolises laughter. |
|
The Clapper Board illustrates perseverance and determination. |
|
Finally, the Clock, as time passes you become wiser and more able to deal with challenges than you were in your youth. |
|
If this is not the case, you may weaken and cracks may appear, as in the Tower itself. Here’s hoping your Tower will stand for many years. |
