Death Tarot Card Meaning
Major Arcana, number XIII
endings, transformation, release, renewal
The card
A skeleton in black armor rides a white horse and carries a black banner marked with a white rose, while a king lies fallen and a child and a bishop turn to face him. On the horizon the sun shines between two towers. Rather than a literal death, the card speaks of a chapter closing so that something new can begin, and asks what you are ready to let go of.
Upright meaning
Endings, transformation, release.
Reversed meaning
Resisting change, stagnation.
