XIII
Death

 

The Death card is probably one of the most famous and most misunderstood card in the deck. The Death card rarely means a physical death. In fact, most often is symbolizes a powerful, being turned inside-out change in the seeker's life, which cannot be controlled or curbed – a transformation. It is death followed by rebirth. It is an ending to something in the seeker's life that will initiate great change. It is clearing away negative conditions for new and better situations. This change is not optional but something required and unchangeable. A nice correlation for this card is to think of the phoenix rising from the ashes.

Death can also be a reminder to "get down to business" and to focus on what is important in your life.

Rely on the other cards in the spread to clarify what this change may be.

Reversed - hanging on - not letting go. Stagnation and immobility. Inertia or slow change. Old habits are hindering growth. Feeling held back but not willing to risk change.
