Death tarot card meaning

ending · transformation · release

Major Arcana

Upright meaning

Something genuinely ends so something else can begin. Let it go rather than dragging it along.

Reversed meaning

Resisting an ending, or a change that is stalling because you keep reopening the door.

Symbolism

The white rose banner is purity of change; the sun rises between the pillars behind. Almost never literal.

Questions to sit with

• · Where is this card's energy already present in your life?
• · If this card were advice from a friend, what would they be telling you to do?
• · What would need to change for the reversed version to become upright?
