Death
The Death card signifies deep transformation, endings that clear the way for rebirth, and the chance to leave the past behind. Upright, it indicates a period of significant change—possibly in relationships, career, or mindset—and encourages releasing old traumas and fear of new beginnings. Reversed, it warns of resisting necessary endings and holding on to what no longer serves, blocking growth. Ultimately the card promises that although transitions can feel overwhelming, they lead from darkness into light and open new opportunities.
