Death ❋

What the card shows

Despite its name, this card is traditionally read as transformation rather than literal death. It marks the end of one chapter so another can begin, and invites you to let go of what has run its course.

In tarot, Death commonly points to endings and transition. Use it to reflect on what is complete and what space an ending may leave.

Among the major arcana

The 22 major arcana trace a long arc of experience, from the Fool’s first step to the completion of the World. They are often read as the larger themes in a life: beginnings, choices, endings and renewal.
