Death: What are You Leaving Behind?
Death Tarot Card: What is beginning? What is ending?
The Death card of tarot invites you to consider not only what new chapter of your life is beginning, but also what chapter is now ending. This is what the Death card is all about. It represents the end of an old chapter and the start of a new. It can be exciting to think about what is about to begin life if it is something you have been looking forward to, but it can also be met with nervousness and apprehension if it is an unsure new beginning or one that you find yourself suddenly thrown into.
But as all this focus is on what is ahead, what about what you are moving on from, the chapter that is closing? How do you feel about putting this behind you? Are you glad to be done with it, or are you sad to see it end? What lessons from this chapter can you take with you into the new paradigm that will benefit you? What joys and happiness can you tap into to uplift and enlighten you? What can you look back on and avoid going through again?
The death card reminds us that new beginnings are not only possible, but inevitable. None of us get through life without them. The idea is to carry with us the good from old paradigms and implement them into the new, and to lean the lessons from the difficult times.
