Death
endingtransformationreleasetransition
The Death card rarely means physical death. It represents the necessary endings that make transformation possible — the compost that feeds new growth.
Upright Meaning
Something is ending, and it needs to end. This is not punishment — it is how space gets made for what comes next. Let it go.
Reversed Meaning
Clinging to something that has already ended in every way that matters. Fear of change keeping you in a situation that stopped serving you a long time ago.
