Death
Death represents inevitable transformation and renewal, though the process may be painful. While something precious in your life may come to an end, this dissolution creates space for something more beautiful and fitting to emerge. The card signifies that what appears to be loss is actually a breakdown into essential elements that will reconnect with the universe in a new form.

The Image of Transformation
Skeletal fingers stretch upward, grasping a withering rose. The boundaries between the flower and its surrounding reality blur as delicate petals scatter in the wind. The Grim Reaper has come to claim what is his.
Confronting Inevitable Change
This card can be frightening, especially when encountered for the first time. Loss and change are inevitable, often quite painful. Prepare yourself for the loss of something that seemed to be an integral part of your life.
Promise of Renewal
Just as inevitable is the fact that from the remains of what is lost, something even more beautiful will grow—something that most fully meets human needs. This may exceed all expectations. The Death card is a sign of coming renewal.
Return to Universal Elements
Though the rose loses its familiar form, this is merely a breakdown into the simplest elements, which gradually disperse and unite with the Universe.
Visual Description
A skeletal hand rises from the lower foreground, holding the stem of a single white rose. Behind the rose the sky is a swirl of multicolored, star-like brushstrokes and circular patterns, with a glowing orange horizon near the middle of the card. The Roman numeral XIII appears at the top of the image and the word "DEATH" is printed at the bottom. The scene is bordered by an ornate frame.
