Death

In movies when the Death card is drawn, you'll usually hear ominous music and an old soothsayer's prediction of a character's death, but in reality this card seldom refers to an actual physical death. Death is the card of change and transformation, of something reaching its conclusion, and the next stage of your life at its beginning. Right now you are going through a radical change of some sort, with old outworn psychological patterns and behaviors that have outlived their purpose giving way to a new you. You musn't be afraid of what your future holds, nor is it healthy to try to hang on to what has been, simply because it feels familiar and safe. Now is the time to embrace your rebirth (be it from singlehood to marriage or marriage to divorce, youth to adulthood, et al) and although you may feel a sense of sadness at the passing of this phase of your life, it's important to remember that nothing is permanent. In order to be transformed you must trust in what lies ahead. We must let one thing die before we can give birth to the new.
