XIII Death
I, as a tarot reader, do not forecast death in the physical sense when Death is dealt in a reading. However, whichever way we look at Death, it is a disconcerting card. But is it really? If I take the first word that comes
to mind when I see Death, it's most definitely Transformation – how does death transform, one might ask. To find this
answer, firstly we look to Mother Nature. Everything in nature transforms, the
caterpillar becomes the butterfly, and even dung feeds the earth. There’s
nothing that dies in nature that doesn’t become part of something better,
something more wholesome than before. Death can also thereby be taken
into consideration in a more figurative manner, Death of old habits or death of
the way things used to be. Ending a cycle so that a new one can begin. Closing
old doors that just don’t open anymore, and finding a wonderful door with a
whole new world, this pertaining to relationships, work, illness, or just
thought patterns. So in a figurative way, death
basically indicates that changes are to be made, so best take cognizance of
your situation and bring about improvements, before it all crashes down around
you! Change is after all one of the few things in life that is inevitable.
