Death

When encountering the Death card, it is essential to understand that it does not signify literal death. Rather, it symbolizes the demise of a situation, job, or relationship. However, its most significant meaning lies in transformation. Death wields a scythe, representing the act of cutting away problems or bringing closure to relationships through endings. It can also mean surgery. It serves as a warning that change is imminent and likely permanent. As one chapter closes, another begins in the circle of life. The Death card suggests that we have reached the limits of our current path and pursuing it further would be fruitless. Its appearance in a reading indicates that something new awaits us but necessitates making space by letting go of what no longer serves us first. Although resistance may arise when faced with endings, embracing those very endings becomes necessary for welcoming fresh opportunities.

Death Reversed

Reversed or with challenging cards around the Death card, could indicate that you are resisting changing, holding onto the past and refusing to let things go. Staying in a situation, relationship or state of being that has already ended. Feeling stuck or stalled.
