Death Tarot Card Meaning – Transformation & New Beginnings

DeathTarot Card Description

This is another card that strikes fear into the hearts of the masses. In reality, this card rarely actually signifies death. Often, it signifies an ending and new beginning. The figure in the card is the messenger of death who rides in on a white steed. The skeleton represents the part of us that lives on after death, the continuation of energy. The white horse represents purity that we find in an ending, or in death. On death’s flag sits a white rose, recognizing the beauty in death. It has five petals, the number representing change. In the background, a boat can be seen mirroring the mythological stories surrounding how the dead are escorted to the afterlife. You can see the sun setting, knowing that it will rise again tomorrow. The royal figure dead on the ground, with family members begging for their loved one to be spared, shows that nobody can resist death (or change).
