Death: An ending that makes room

Transformation, endings and rebirth. The Death card almost never means literal death; it means change.

In the card: A skeleton in armor rides a white horse carrying a black flag with a white rose, the sun rising in the distance.

Upright: Something is ending so something new can begin: a chapter, a habit, an identity. Let it go; there's a sunrise coming.

Reversed: Resisting a necessary ending, or a transformation that's stuck. Holding on is harder than letting go.

What am I holding onto that's already over?

Tarot is a tool for reflection, not a prediction of a fixed future, and it isn't a substitute for medical, legal, psychological or financial advice. Your intuition and choices are always the final word.
