The Death Card
The first card of the week is the death card, an easy choice for me as it’s one of the most misinterpreted cards of the deck. Most people associate the word death with the loss, turmoil and upheaval it brings to our lives. However, often when this card comes up in a reading, it's much more hopeful and positive than these initial perceptions. And no, it does not mean you or someone you know is about to die (most of the time…!).
Imagine the death card as a heads up from the universe - not that things are about to get very awful - but that the things you are going through right now are necessary and will result in change. When it appears you can be sure that you’re on the right track and that a much needed renewal and rebirth is around the corner.
When reversed, the death card is very useful to help you recognise when you might be holding yourself back from a transformation of self. Are you allowing yourself to make the change that needs to happen? Trust the universe and go with the flow - it may be painful, but all growth comes with change!
