Death (XIII)

Something ends so that something can begin.

The image

A skeleton in black armour rides a white horse carrying a black banner with a white rose; a king lies fallen, a bishop and a child stand before it, and a sun rises between two towers.

Keywords: ending, transformation, release

Light side

Every real change needs something to end. Letting go makes room, and the rising sun shows that life continues on the other side.

Shadow side

Clinging to what is already over drains your energy. Fear of endings can keep you in a form you have outgrown.

Drawing Death in a game of Leela

In Leela Atlas you can draw a card from the Classic Tarot when you land on a square. A bridging question links the card to the square, so the card speaks to your own question:

• What in this question has already ended, even if you have not yet said goodbye to it?
• What does "Death" show you about your square?
• If "Death" were advice for your question, what would it say?
• Where do you meet "Death" in your life right now?
