XIII: The Death Tarot Card

General Meaning

Planets: Saturn, Pluto

Zodiac signs: Scorpio, Pisces

Planet in sign: Pluto in Scorpio

Element: Water

Inner transformation, rebirth, renewal. Change for the better, a new stage of life. The completion of something big and fundamental, or of a stage of life.

The Death card does not mean actual death, but rather the end of something. Something in your life will come to an end. It may be a certain stage, a project, a business, a romantic relationship or a friendship. There is no need to worry about it, because once something ends, something far more exciting will begin.

You will receive many new and interesting ideas. You may have to say goodbye forever to your occupation or to something else very dear to you. The Death card symbolises the changes ahead, the start of a new business, new relationships. Meet the coming changes with optimism, for all of it will be only for the better.

The Death Tarot Card in Different Tarot Decks

Meaning in Situations

Very soon changes will enter your life — and changes for the better. You are on the threshold of a significant event: a wedding, a divorce, leaving home, the birth of a child, moving house, changing jobs and so on. A situation that has dragged on for a while is approaching its logical end. The time has come to free yourself from unnecessary relationships, prejudices, events. Time to begin a different life — one that is new and of real quality. The time has come to finish something old and start something new. From an emotional point of view, this card speaks of emotional rebirth and spiritual healing. The arrival of the new, sometimes unexpected. Often small and seemingly insignificant. A card of household matters and everyday bustle. A striving for new impressions.

Work

Activity. Lots of tedious daily chores. Minor problems. What is happening is exhausting. New acquaintances that may or may not prove worthwhile. Does not mean collapse or ruin. May mean running around in search of work (a wide choice, unable to decide). Frequent job changes. For students — exam session.

Health

A changeable, unstable condition. It means death only if it is surrounded by many negative cards. Pay attention to age: for a young person the chance that this card speaks of death or serious illness is far smaller than for an old one.

Relationships

Instability. An oppressive state, nervousness. Something keeps getting in the way all the time.

Personality Type

A striving for the new. Breaks ties with the past easily. Curious. Similar to the Empress psychotype. A scientist, traveller, reporter. Sometimes suffers from kleptomania. May have suicidal tendencies — seeking in death a way out of an oppressive situation.

Advice and Warning

Keep doing what you are doing. Much work, business and worry — to the point of exhaustion. It is not known which of all those tasks will turn out to be important.

Yes or No

Gives no clear answer. The circumstances are so uncertain that the situation could turn in any direction. Look not at the situation but at the possible ways it might resolve, or phrase the question more precisely. It is possible that the information is hidden (must not be disclosed).

Reversed Card Meaning

An important warning. Perhaps you are seriously afraid of something, or you will have to part with something pointless and unpromising, yet at the same time near and dear to you. Certain matters must be brought to a close, but you simply do not want to let something go. Your hopes are in vain and you are wasting your time. You are driving yourself into a state of apathy and deadlock. With every day the mountain of problems grows, and it will be hard to cope with it until you release what fate is trying to take away. Free yourself from the things in your life that have become morally outdated and lost their relevance.
