Death Tarot Card Meaning

Death Upright Meaning
Instead of thinking of Death in the literal sense, when you see this card in a spread think of an ending, followed by a beginning. This is the card of change, and while it might not be welcome, it is necessary. Out with the old and in with the new; a transformation. This card follows on from the Hanged Man, which symbolizes a pause, Death signifies that we are now ready for the transformation to take place. A door has been opened and new possibilities are upon us. This transformation will be significant, not something in the daily, mundane life. It might be a considerable upheaval. Initially, you might find you don’t like the change, but eventually, you will understand why this change needed to happen. This card tells the reader that it is time to let go of any attachments that do not suit you anymore. Move on from the things, or people, you have outgrown and make way for a new life.

Death Reversed Meaning
Reversed, Death tells us that we need to let go in order to move on. We might feel tied to things that no longer serve us and breaking these ties can be uncomfortable. This card tells you to embrace the new change and allow this shift in energy to benefit you. Alternatively, you might find that this card signifies a deep, personal transformation within yourself. Stop resisting and allow the change to happen, it will be for the best. Whether it is getting rid of an old habit, or creating new ones, make the most of the opportunity. Mostly, Death reversed tells us that we are not letting go of something that we should. As the hit song tells us, ‘let it go’.
