Let's meet: Death Tarot Card - An introduction
The Death card has turned out to be one of my favorite cards in the Tarot because of its powerful message. It is not an easy one, but if you are resilient, you will also understand that with great difficulty comes a great blessing. The Principle of Polarity is inevitable, and after the darkness of death, the light of the new is right there and available. This is why in the Conspiracy Tarot's Death Tarot Card, you see a big door full of white light behind.
Let's face it, the meaning of the death card in tarot always talks about a forceful transition. You don't have a choice, and if you resist it, you will only make it worse. However, the death tarot card doesn't mean that you or someone will die; this is a huge misconception. You don't have to fear this card. I am sure you didn't think about it, but this card can also mean "the end of a problem" and the beginning of a solution. Or ending something in your life that will yield a much greater future outcome.
Upright meanings
The Death Card Upright Meaning tells you that the situation you are in will likely come to an end. This doesn't mean physical death, you cannot predict dying, and it doesn't mean that everything is over in the sense of "losing all hope." For example, your car breaks down, and it is beyond repair. But the good part of it is that you can sell it for parts, and have a deposit for a new and more reliable vehicle. A classical The Death card situation: you leave your old, unrepairable car behind to drive a new and safer one.
The Skeleton with a scythe staring at you reminds you that your situation will go nowhere, and possibly has reached its end, or it's about to. You can see some destruction and lifeless stuff surrounding what seems to be a hopeless situation. However, behind you can also see a magnificent door of light, containing all hopes, dreams, and opportunities you can meet to your heart's desire right there, wide open.
So, you have an obvious message here. Before you can reach your goal, an ideal desire in your life, you need to deal with and put an end to a problem or situation that you are dealing with. A lot of times, you find the solution by killing the process and starting over. Let's go a little deeper into the meanings:
- Love and Relationships. Don't believe that the Death card meaning is the end of your relationship, however, it could be indicating that that end is near if you don't do anything about it, or don't understand the big picture here. It doesn't mean that you will have to divorce or separate, but you are certainly heading there. Making huge changes in your relationship before it breaks up will be imperative. This can also mean that major problems in the relationship, for example, sex, will soon shift around by applying methods of resolution.
- Finances and Career. The Death Tarot Card delivers powerful messages here. Depending on your situation, you might realize that you are going nowhere with your current job, perhaps you don't even like it. To end this professional misery, you need to change jobs. Perhaps it is time for you to stop holding on to your paychecks and invest your time in developing your business, and if you do, you may align yourself with that career growth you have been seeking.
- Spirituality and Health. When talking of health, this doesn't mean physical death, but means a major shift in your health. It could be from finding a healing combination to deal with a chronic problem, or perhaps having to experience a change in your life because of a health issue. Change your attitude and be more positive when dealing with your health, and take more care of yourself. Spiritually speaking, the death card means transformation, and it is time to start awakening your gifts.
In the end, as with any other card, the death tarot card speaks of the challenges you will face and how. Perhaps you are being stubborn in dealing with a problem your way, and this card tells you that you are going nowhere unless you shift. I see this card as an opportunity to bring a profound change for whatever I am asking about, and with the right approach, you can truly experience life-changing situations. For example, healing a chronic illness, or finding a business idea to give you financial freedom, versus a tight monthly paycheck.
Reverse Meaning
If you are a "master" in stubbornness (for example, you are proud and laugh about being stubborn) and you meet with the Death Tarot Card Reversed, you are in for a heap of trouble! In this situation, you are now facing an opponent far more stubborn than you, the Universe! You know that the situation you are in will not work, but you won't let it go, no matter what. Things will become nastier, and nastier, and endless increase of difficulty until you stop resisting change.
Continue to be stubborn, and you will be extremely debilitating emotionally and mentally, brutal even on the strongest minds out there. You don't want to be stubborn, and if you are, you can be hitting an indestructible wall that goes harder every time you hit it. If you know something will not work, why do you keep trying? Don't you think that letting it go and trying something else could bring a better outcome down the line?
The Death Card Reversed can also mean the fear of letting go and dealing with what's next. An innocent situation for a reverse death card is when your "baby" has to go to school and be away from mommy for the first time. Especially the baby doesn't want to let go, but it's inevitable; they have no other choice. They ended up letting go and adapting, bringing a transformation in their lives (first steps of independence). Let's go a little deeper into the meanings:
- Love and Relationships. I have seen a lot of times that The Death Tarot card, reversed, comes to single people. The situation here is for them to let go of limiting and old self-beliefs and to start to embrace the changes in their lives, or, for example, end the loop of attracting bad partners... WAIT! Is this your situation, but you are resisting change because of fear or another worry? If so, you are in a The Death card in reverse situation. Take the chance now! If you are in a relationship, and it's not going well, it's time to make changes, both of you!
- Finances and Career. I suggest you ask yourself more questions here, especially if you are not happy financially and professionally. You might be stuck in a situation of great unfulfillment, or simply, you are stuck where you are, but you have the opportunity to grow past there. You can significantly shift your situation, but you might need to perform a leap of faith or sacrifice beforehand, generally by leaving something behind.
- Spirituality and Health. You need to stop lying to yourself and deal with your health situation. You might be afraid to take that surgery, and you are resisting the pain and everything. You might have no other choice but to address the problem, especially if the doctor tells you to. The death tarot reversed here might indicate that you need to deal with it, or things can become much worse. Perhaps you are in major spiritual conflict with yourself, being stubborn and sticking to your old, unfulfilling ways.
It is okay to be in an unfavorable situation, like it is all about positivity and negativity, but what is not okay is to torture yourself. Don't resist change. If you don't feel ready, ask yourself what the problem is and what is stopping you. Sometimes, you know deep down the solution, and while it can be painful taking it, down the line it will serve you the right purpose. If you know you are trapped and you need help, this is also good and a fantastic start. Feel free to reach out here or via the WhatsApp button. The Death Tarot Card brings the light you need.
You should reflect on the following questions.
When I created The Conspiracy Tarot (if you want a copy, make sure to use the coupon BLOG111 at the checkout), I added questions for you to reflect upon each of the cards. You can find this within the pages of the Little White Book that comes with the deck. But for today, for the Death Tarot Card, I am sharing these questions for you to reflect over. Once you do, feel free to leave a comment and share your thoughts and findings. This will help others a lot!
- Do you fear death?
- Is there something in your life that no longer has any purpose?
- Would you make a great personal sacrifice if necessary to reach your goals?
I've been questioning whether to leave a comment for each of these questions, but I want to leave them as they come in the Little White Book for the Conspiracy Tarot. I hope these questions help you bring something that will improve your life, even a little bit.
The Death Tarot Card Guided Meditation
The next card for the series of Guided Meditations is where you will experience the energy of Tarot Cards. The meditation for today, as you have guessed, is the Death Tarot Card Meditation, and you have it available in the store.
In this guided meditation, firstly, you will check something or someone you are stubborn to bring to your life, and it's not working. You will focus on the current and potential positives about not getting what you want here. From here, you will search for something in your life that you dislike and could potentially change, sending energy to it so you can favor these changes.
