I agree with her (Trelawney's) interpretation being on the dark 
side.  If I were to get the Tower in a read, I try not to let the 
person freak out.  Some people know that it is a "bad" card.  This 
is easy to draw from the often vivid representation on the card.  
However, it can be a sign of great sudden change to come and just 
because it's sudden doesn't mean it can't be a good thing in the 
end.

I know there is a difference between the Major Arcana and a regular 
playing deck.  However, I find that some end up not needing certain 
cards in the deck to interpret what it is they have to communicate 
to the receiver of the message.

I bow, of course, to the fellow Tarot reader..especially one who has 
been reading longer than I have been alive (a bit scary really... 
perhaps you should read mine!).
