Death
Death meaning: Death speaks to endings, transformation, release. Almost never literal — it's the ending that has to happen for the next thing to live. Something is genuinely over.
Upright
Death. Almost never literal — it's the ending that has to happen for the next thing to live. Something is genuinely over. Let it be over; the grief is the door, not the wall.
Reversed
Reversed, you're holding the corpse of something past its time — dragging out an ending, or fearing a change that's already decided. Loosen your hands. It's lighter on the other side.
Death in Love, Work & Self
An ending that clears the way — a bond transforms or completes. Let what's over be over.
A chapter closes so the next can begin. Don't drag out what's already finished.
Shed the old skin. The grief is the doorway, not the wall — walk through.
