Meaning
Death is the card of endings that make room for beginnings. It is transformation, rarely anything literal.
upright
Ending, renewal, necessary change. Upright, this card leans into its strengths: ending, renewal, necessary change. In a reading it invites you to notice where this is already showing up and to give it a little room.
reversed
Clinging, fear of change, stasis. Reversed, the energy is blocked, inward or overdone: clinging, fear of change, stasis. It is not a bad omen, just a cue to slow down and look at what needs care.
In love & friendship
In love: upright, ending colours the connection; reversed, watch for clinging.
In work & purpose
In work: upright, lean on necessary change; reversed, stasis may need attention.
