I've
heard of the "Death" card. Does that mean someone is going to die?"
NO!!
Absolutely not! This card does *not* mean physical death,
and I can't stress that enough! You might see something like that
on TV . . . but in *reality* it's *not* what the card means.
The basic meaning of the "Death" card is "significant change or transformation."
It can mean "death" of an "old" way of life to make way for a "new" way
of life. It usually deals with some important and necessary changes
in one's way of life or thinking. It's kind of like "one door closing
so that another door can open." :-)
Some Tarot decks call this card "Transition." I actually prefer that title as it more clearly portrays the meaning of this card. In the Connolly Deck, the Death card is called Transition (pictured below), and the image is one of a pregnant woman preparing for her time of birth. So as you can see, this is actually a card of rebirth, too. Certainly having a child can close some doors for a person as their whole life changes in caring for a baby . . . but at the same time, it's important to realize that the closed doors have opened up new doors for more rewarding experiences. It's all a matter of letting go of something -- many times, an old way of life -- and preparing for the new way of life that is presented.
