Death upright
Death almost never means literal death. It is the card of endings that clear space: a chapter closing, a habit falling away, a transformation that cannot be undone and does not need to be.
Death reversed
Reversed, the ending is being resisted, so things linger past their time. Ask what you are keeping alive out of fear rather than love.
In love and relationships
A relationship chapter ends or transforms into something new.
At work
A role or way of working ends; make room for what follows.
A question to reflect on
What am I ready to let finish?
Card meanings follow the Rider–Waite–Smith tradition. Tarot is offered here as a tool for reflection and entertainment, not prediction or professional advice.
