Arcana Death. Number 13. New Cycle

Tarot Death - meaning

The meaning of the Tarot card Death in the upright position is actually positive.
It means that you have a chance to close all old doors and open new ones. You move to a new level, leave everything that was before, and you can start life anew. The Arcanum was regarded as positive even in ancient times. It meant metamorphosis, a time of change. At this point, if Death is present in the reading, your previous life ends and nothing can stop it. Death helps us enter a new world. She says that some things are quite hard to let go, but you need to say goodbye to them.

No one is saying that such a transition will be easy and you will not be anxious, but such a situation cannot be prevented. Sometimes such metamorphoses occur because a person lives in constant tension, he has accumulated so many negative emotions that he is about to explode.

But here higher powers give him a chance to get rid of this heavy burden, abandoning everything that happened before, and move to another level. After a while, you will understand that everything that you grabbed for in the past was actually useless, since Death always takes away things that you do not need.

If the Death arcan appears in a Tarot reading, the person’s mood will change in the near future, he is free from the existing situation, happy that he no longer bears his yoke. If we consider the magical attribute as a card of the day, then Death Tarot says that today you will be able to take a risk and do something that you could not decide on for a long time.

Often the appearance of a card indicates that the individual is very afraid, but at the same time he is tired of this course of life, he has stagnation in business, difficulties in communicating with other people.

Sometimes the lasso advises company owners to close the business (if it is small) or open a new branch in another location.

If the company is large, then it might be worth changing the name or something else. If you are at a crossroads and don’t know which profession to choose, choose the one that allows you to stand on the border between life and death. This could be a surgeon, a restorer, or a police officer.

Death Tarot - meaning in relationships

If the Tarot card Death falls into a relationship, then it has a mostly negative meaning. Most likely, separation from your current partner. No one promises that it will be painless, but it will be impossible to avoid such a situation.

Important : an individual should not delay the moment of rupture, but he should not abruptly cut off all the connecting threads. Let everything be as it is, a person should not rush, accept fate. The death of the relationship will be emphasized by the presence in the layout of the cards Tower, Hanged Man, Devil, Jester.

If the Court is located nearby, this will warn that one of the partners will try to restore the relationship. The card has a more positive meaning - in this case, the old style of relationship, which was built on a candy-bouquet romantic period, will end.

At this moment, you have a chance to truly get to know your partner and take your relationship to a more mature level. The Star or Lovers, Emperor or Empress lasso will confirm this effect of the Death card on a person.

It is possible that before the partners can move to the next level, they will be in crisis for some time, since not everyone can immediately just say goodbye to the usual form of relationship. Another meaning of the lasso Death in fortune telling about relationships is the presence of a lover.

General interpretation of the 13 tarot cards

When determining the meaning of the Death tarot card, the following keywords are suitable:

• Parting;
• Completing something;
• Death;
• An inevitable event;
• A crisis;
• New condition.

The direct lasso Death claims that the completion of one unpromising task brings life to a new, more exciting one. There is a possibility that you will have to look at your life differently or reconsider your social circle, change your place of work or place of residence. You need to be prepared for any unexpected turns. Even a goal or dream of a lifetime can fade or be replaced by another - brighter and more worthwhile.

Often the Death card falls out to people who have reached a certain age (14 years, 21, 36, 42, 60, etc.), because at the same time a qualitative change in personality and its transformation occurs.

A new personality of a person is formed, his feelings and beliefs change. At the same time, he can remain himself, but in a transformed form. New interests, acquaintances, hobbies will arise. Only the soul of the fortuneteller will not be subject to change.

Now let's look at the meaning of the Arcana Death in the tarot in an inverted position.

Keywords:

• Stagnation;
• Depression;
• Stubbornness;
• Fear.

An inverted position is interpreted as a warning. It can also be regarded as an impetus to action. After all, if you don’t get rid of the junk in your life in time, it will not lead to good consequences. This requires confident and specific decisions without overthinking.

A person himself may well become the very obstacle that prevents him from finishing a certain task that has become obsolete. There is no need to believe in anything or hope for anything - everything is over once and for all, once you sweep away all the loose ends. The Death card will influence a person, attracting more and more troubles to him. Without getting rid of the old ones, you can find a pile of new ones and then it will be more difficult to deal with them. Problems will have a cumulative effect.

Change will happen slowly. Most likely, a person will watch this process in life, holding his breath in horror. If anything goes wrong, he will think that a rash decision was made. But it will be too late to go back, since, by making a decision, the person burned all the bridges that connected him with the past.

Also, inverted Death sometimes indicates that personality changes have already occurred not so long ago.

The interpretation of the card in the Manara tarot is a crisis in a relationship, the possibility of violence or surgery.

Interpretation in the Thoth tarot - the lasso symbolizes the eternal dance in which one is resurrected and the other dies.

Health status

The Death Tarot card has a very unfavorable meaning if it appears in a health reading. The spirit of death itself brings destruction, decay. Possible surgical intervention, removal of some organs or tumors. In an inverted position, the card speaks of severe health problems.

Heart disease and chronic incurable diseases are possible. In very rare cases, if only negative cards are present in the layout, they predict clinical Death for someone. Moreover, the card almost never means the real physical death of a person or one of his relatives.

In most cases, the lasso is regarded as an indicator of depression and melancholy. It is advisable for you to meditate more. This will help you cope with stressful situations and survive unpleasant changes. Sometimes a card may indicate that an individual has been damaged.

The Meaning of Death in the Thoth Tarot

In Aleister Crowley's description of the Thoth Tarot deck, Arcana Death 13 is positioned as a card foreshadowing the death of someone or something. Crowley did not rule out that this could be not only the Death of a relationship, a business, but also a person or animal.

Also, in his interpretation, the card is often an indicator of a strong conflict with another person, which has an extremely negative impact on the individual.

In relationships, work, health, and personality, the card does not guarantee the end of unpleasant moments, failures, or breakups. In general, in Aleister Crowley's interpretation, the card has a more negative meaning.

The Tarot card Death warns a person that what happened cannot be changed. If you find yourself in a difficult situation, come to terms with what happened, but don't dwell on it. Move on with your life, pull yourself together, start taking care of yourself and those around you.

Description of the map

There are several versions of the Death Tarot card image. Sometimes she is depicted as a rider on a white horse in armor, with a skull instead of a face. In his hand he holds a black flag with a white five-petalled flower - a symbol of the purification that occurs after death. His horse is walking through a field with dead people, and in front of it a child, a woman and a rich man are frozen in fear, their hands folded in prayer. The background shows the sun half hidden behind the towers.

In another of the classic versions, Death is depicted as a skeleton with a scythe, who makes his sad harvest in a field of human remains. Or she is depicted in a monk’s robe, seated on a throne against the backdrop of towers and the sun, which is frozen on the way to sunset or sunrise to the zenith.

The general message of all images of the card is its inexorability and the equality before it of all people, regardless of age, status and income.
