Daily Tarot Card..............
The Death card heralds the ending of a phase of life in order to make way for a new one, it brings major change and transformation. In order to benefit from change we need to remain open to it and recognize that through every life experience we have been given the opportunity for major growth and learning, on some level. The Death card can release us from that which is no longer useful in our lives but which we could continue to hang on to, merely because we fear change. In so doing, we deny ourselves new opportunities that await us.
First and foremost Death does not specifically pertain to our physical death. The Death card marks ends and beginnings. Although most illustrations of the Death card tend to be morbid, the forces behind the Death card are actually quite exciting. Yes Death does mark the end of something. But ends are often brought about by completion and not loss. Most endings are actually good, and make room for us to begin new adventures.
