What does the Death Tarot card mean?
A tarot reading involves various cards used to gain insight into the seeker’s current and possible future situations. These cards and predictions interpreted in this way are guided by spiritual power and divine powers. A Tarot deck usually contains 78 cards and each card has a unique meaning. We will talk about one particular card that has fascinated many tarot readers and question seekers; it is the thirteenth card in the deck called “Death”. This sounds scary, since in real life death symbolizes the end and zero. No one knows what happens after death and there are various theories involving the afterlife or life after death. We will look at this Tarot card Death through different aspects.
The picture and symbols: The picture on the card shows a skeleton holding a flag on a white horse. We can see card number thirteen above. Some pictures of Death Tarot cards show people dying on the ground, some show pictures of people screaming and blood coming out of their bodies as if someone has just dealt the killing blow. But the most significant picture of the tarot card is the picture of the rising sun. We may not find this picture in the entire collection of Death Tarot cards, but in most Death Tarot cards the rising sun is prominent. There is another symbol on the Death tarot card which is the White Rose. It is a symbol of purity and humility. Beauty is present there too. But we must always remember that every rose also has thorns.
Meanings: The Death Tarot is not considered so bad when the meaning of the card is interpreted in relation to a specific situation. But yes, if someone is asking the question about a sick person or a family member with an illness, then it can symbolize the process going in the wrong direction. People often ask questions about their careers or relationships. Under these circumstances, this card symbolizes the end of one and the beginning of another. It could mean someone leaving a certain job and getting a new one. Someone may end a relationship with one partner and move on to a new relationship or partner. Death brings a new beginning and this is indicated by the rising sun behind. The rising sun tells the seeker that if there is death, there are also new beginnings. Every dark corner also has a bright light. It’s just like a horror movie where a character struggles all night fighting and dealing with a ghost and finally with the sunrise the ghost dies and brings a new day and a new life.
Karma: The Death Tarot card also carries characteristics of karmic energies. In the theory of karma one dies and takes a new form in the next life and dies again in this life and again takes a new life form and this cycle continues. What has been done in the past; a soul will reap in this life as the soul progresses higher and higher into the realm of self-awareness and self-realization. If we relate this to the Death card and assume that Health, Career and Love/Relationship questions are being asked, the card means that what one has done in the past will reap now. A person who drinks a lot or smokes a lot will pay the price if health is put at risk because of these addictions. A person who has studied well in the past and thus acquired knowledge to a level where he or she can take the risk and effort to climb the career ladder to a higher level would do so. In relationships, a person will also bear the fruit of his positive or negative behavior that he has displayed in his past relationships.
White Rose: Considering the white rose, as I said earlier, every rose comes with thorns and thus on the path of a new beginning the seeker may experience some obstacles along the way. We can relate this to another saying “God helps those who help themselves”. On the path of progress there are always some obstacles and hurdles that come in the way and the person who can cross these obstacles will conquer death.
Change is the essence of the Death Tarot card. When this tarot card is considered in a tarot reading, the seeker must consider the factors that can lead to life change. They should think carefully about what changes are expected in their lives in which areas of life, whether those areas are love, career, health, business, spirituality, politics, academics, general conduct, philanthropy, mental or physical. Finally, the seeker must ask whether he is ready to accept this change with courage, or whether he cannot resist the obstacles that this change may bring. If the seeker is able to accept the change and the consequences associated with this change, just like a warrior and is ready to give one hundred percent effort to reach the goal, then this card will show him the new light in the darkness: a solution to the problem that looking for
