Interactive Tarot Online Reading for Death

Your Chosen Card – Death Upright Golden Deck

When upright, the Death trump signals a period of significant change and transformation. A new seed is sprouting in your life. One chapter is ending and another beginning. This necessary process should not be denied or avoided. The major theme of this card is ‘out with the old to make way for the new.’ Have courage to face the unknown because new life awaits you. Keep in mind the biblical admonition: ‘Except a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone: but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit’ (John 12:24, KJV).

If Death is unclear it may help to choose a card from the Major Arcana to provide more insight into what it is Death is trying to tell you. If you had a particular issue in mind, or want to seek clarification on something else, you can also choose again to get more guidance.

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Complete Book of Tarot: A commentary from Yales Beineke Library states that ‘I Trionfi’ reflects Plutarchs ‘contemplation of the successive victories of Love, Chastity, Death, Fame, Time, and Eternity. The poet becomes the moralist and philosopher who searches for meaning, as life passes from one stage to the next.’ 3 Similarly, the tarots major arcana reflect the triumph of love over secular powers and religious authorities as well as the struggles between vice and virtue on the journey toward the ‘promised land’ depicted on the final trump card.

Tarot Books

Complete Book of Tarot: Golden Dawn: Gain, riches, honor, glory, arrogance, display, vanity (the latter connotations apply only when the Sun is accompanied by negative cards).

Development for Beginners: Im sure youve heard the expression ‘silence is golden.’ Well, for the purposes of this exercise, silence is unacceptable. We are virtually never in an environment or situation that is completely and totally silent.
