The Death Card in Tarot — Why It Does Not Mean What You Think
You’re shuffling your tarot deck, maybe for the first time, and suddenly there it is — the Death card. Your heart skips a beat. Your mind races to worst-case scenarios. Is someone going to die? Is your relationship doomed? Should you put the cards away and never look at them again? Take a deep breath. The death tarot card meaning is one of the most misunderstood symbols in the entire tarot deck, and I’ve seen this fear play out in countless readings over my twenty years as a professional tarot reader. The truth is far more empowering than you think.
