Death, Rebirth, Renewal: Accepting life’s unavoidable transformations
The Death Tarot Card
Hi Love,
Life and death are not opposites, but dualities that rely on one another to exist. Without death, life would lose its urgency; without life, death would have no entrance. They are two sides of the same truth, partners in a sacred cycle.
This is the wisdom of the Death card in the tarot, often feared, but deeply misunderstood.
The Death card does not predict physical death. It speaks of transformation, of necessary endings that clear space for growth. It is the falling away of what no longer serves your beliefs, relationships, and identities, so that something truer can emerge.
Death comes in many forms.
A divorce can feel like death, the loss of a shared dream.
A miscarriage, the death of a future imagined but never held.
The end of a career, a friendship, a way of seeing yourself.
But just as grief digs into the soul, it also carves space for something more.
The Death card reminds us that letting go is not loss, it's liberation. It teaches us to trust the ending, even when it comes wrapped in pain & grief. Because after the final breath of what was, there is always a silence, and in that silence, the first stirrings of what will be.
We are reborn every time we surrender.
Every time we unclench our grip on what is gone.
Every time we choose to begin again.
So when Death knocks in tarot, in life, in love, meet it not with fear, but with reverence. For it is not here to take from you. It is here to free you.
