Death Unhappy Card- Major Arcana Series

Dear All,
we are moving over to the 13th card of the Major Arcana, the Death card. Despite what you may think, this card very rarely if ever indicates physical death. However, it is still an "unhappy" card and it deals with loss and grief and endings and things that make you uncomfortable and you wish to happen fast, but they do not.  Okay, please find below the interpretation of this card as given in most recognized tarot books:

Card Overview:

This is a card of “relief” mixed with ”grief”. The grieving part has to do with letting go of your personal will and the general feeling of loss. This card is about the destruction of everything old and the birth of the new. Most common meaning of the Death card is transition/ major transformation and that a situation is coming to an end and that a new stage is starting.

Conflicts/ Challenges:

From an employment perspective the Death card announces an ending job/ project or cutbacks and company liquidations. One of the challenges with this card is trying to resist change or fearing change. Resisting change will only make matters worse, more painful and won’t solve anything: the inevitable will occur anyhow, involuntarily.

Solution:

As a solution the Death card indicates that your struggles will soon be over. Death from this perspective means “removing what lacks vitality”, regeneration by removal of old habits. In other words, you may be leaving friends/ ending relationships that are no longer useful to you.  It can also mean that you may revisit an old interest/ an old passion. From a health perspective indicates menopause, surgery or accidents narrowly escaped.

Above you can find the Death card in 4 different decks as follows: deck#1 Tarot of Jane Austen, deck #2 Tarot of Celtic Faeries, deck#3 Nicoletta Ceccoli Tarot and deck #4 Dark Grimoire Tarot.
