What does the Death card mean?

Upright, Death speaks to Ending, Transition, Release. Let the ending be an ending. What follows cannot arrive while you hold the door.

What does Death mean reversed?

Clinging to a form that has already emptied. Grieve it properly and move.

In love questions, Death describes the emotional weather rather than a verdict. Read it beside the surrounding cards and the position it landed in.

FinTransitionLibération

Endroit

Laissez la fin être une fin. La suite ne peut advenir tant que vous retenez la porte.

Inversée

Vous vous accrochez à une forme déjà vide. Faites votre deuil correctement et avancez.

En amour

Romantically it points to a bond changing shape rather than ending. Let the change happen at its own speed.

Au travail et en argent

At work this signals a threshold: the skill you have been quietly building is about to be visible.

Le conseil

Protect your energy for one week and watch what falls away on its own.

“I can hold clarity and kindness at once.”
