About Death
A skeleton in armor rides a horse and holds a black flag with a white rose. People of every rank kneel as a change no one can stop draws near.
General Meaning
Upright Meaning
Something is ending so something new can grow. This card is not about doom, it is about change. The old habit or chapter has done its job. Let it go and trust what comes next.
Death reversed, in short
A reversed card is not the opposite of the upright card. It points to energy that is blocked, held inward, or still in shadow.
You may be holding tight to something that needs to end.
