Upright Meaning

Death represents endings, transformation, transition, and rebirth. This card embodies the natural cycle of death and renewal, indicating that something in your life must end for something new to begin. It suggests major transformation, the release of old patterns, and the opportunity for profound change. Death encourages you to embrace endings as necessary for growth, let go of what no longer serves you, and trust in the process of renewal and rebirth.

Reversed Meaning

Reversed, Death indicates resistance to change, fear of endings, or stagnation. You may be clinging to situations that need to end, avoiding necessary transformations, or feeling stuck in old patterns. This card can suggest that you're preventing natural cycles from completing or that you're experiencing a slow, gradual transformation rather than sudden change. It may also indicate that you're ready to embrace change after a period of resistance.
