Death

Additional deck interpretation:

Death points you towards a path of sudden, shocking, unexpected events as you continue your journey through the seventy-eight passageways of growth. This is the level of extreme transitions on your continuous cycle of change.

Transformation will knock on your door and awaken what lays dormant within you, an awakening that will result in change and growth. It's possible you had taken a belief or lifestyle as far as you could and need to accept the rebirth that follows its ending.


Death brings an ending, but also brings a new beginning with lifestyle changes and fortunate circumstances that you cannot see. Sometimes events beyond your control steer you in a different direction to help you connect with the right relationships (personal and professional).

Death tells the story of a few stinging ordeals along the way and the time when you might ask your higher-self, "Have I died?" The higher-self answers, "No, but the path you were on has died!"

This is the time when there will be the end of an old lifestyle or belief that has to die, but the sun is rising in the distance and it is associated with a new lifestyle or belief that that you probably cannot see right now.

This endings could be anything from small to large, but you need to look at something honestly and let your fears fall away from you so you can rise like the sun. Sometimes we need to let go of what is not working to become the person we want to be.

There is going to be a major, unexpected turn in your life. This phase will show you what is not working and is a shift that will transform and restructure your life to put you on the right path.

Numerical Number 13: Death's number 13 consists of: 1 (a new beginning) + 3 (rebirth and creating something new) = 4 (cleansed and purified and ready to build a new foundation that is right for you). This path is associated with transformation so new ground can be broken to achieve a dream. You are at the end of one cycle and about to start a new passage of rebirth and an important lifestyle change.

The Element of Water: Death is associated with the zodiac sign of Scorpio (rebirth) which is associated with the planet Pluto (transformation – out with the old lifestyle and in with the new lifestyle).


Probable Outcome: You will experience an abrupt ending in your life and learn to accept the rebirth that follows. This is the time when you need to let go of a cycle or path that is not right for you because new possibilities are on the horizon.

The universe is sweeping out an old outdated or unhealthy lifestyle and giving you another chance to get things right.

Possible Outcome: You cannot accept the ending to your current lifestyle because you are not ready to make changes. It's also possible that you fear change and feel you need to stay on your path because your fears hold you back and keep you stagnated.

Then again, you might not be able to channel Death's energies into your life at this time. If this is the case, you could be experiencing a depression that stems from the refusal to accept change. You probably need a professional to help you get through this rough patch.

Timing: Death predicts that an important event may take place within the next 30 days.
