Death is one of the most controversial and misunderstood cards. Occasionally, it might mean a physical death but most of the time, it means that something is coming to an end. While the fool shows a new beginning, death means a natural end. When upright, it can show a smooth transition into a different path/life/partnership/etc.

Death may also show the end of a cycle- giving birth and no longer being the childfree/carefree youth you are used to, children moving out of the house and growing up, graduating college, going into retirement, hitting milestones and no longer being a teen/young adult/middle age/etc. Right side up is showing a smoother transition from one cycle to another.
If this card is coming up reversed, you may feel stuck. You’re spinning your tires but making no progress.

This doesn’t necessarily mean death of a relationship. This could be the end of the relationship but it could also be the end of being single- moving into a relationship or even sliding from dating to engaged or engaged to married- this is showing that one cycle is ending and especially if a card like the fool is with it, it’s showing a transition into another stage or cycle.
When Drawn Reversed in a Love Reading
You’re likely looking at a fight or break up. You’re being forced to end something- this could even be showing you red flags that you’re ignoring but need to start paying attention to (like abuse that hasn’t turned physical yet or signs of infidelity). It’s going to be a bit harder to deal with this end, but this is an end that needs to be made.
When Drawn Right Side Up in a Career Reading
You might be moving companies, graduation from college and getting ready to move into your first job post degree or you may be looking to make a career hop- either way, you’re moving from one cycle to another and this is showing that you’re ready to end the stage you’re at now to begin new and fresh.

This is the placement of a potential job loss- like being fired or laid off. You’re likely to be looking at a forced change against your will. Instead of letting it destroy you, this is telling you to grab this change and really make it work for you.
