About this tool
Death is card XIII of the Major Arcana. Upright, the classic reading goes: An ending that makes room: transformation, release and the compost of the new.
Reversed, the emphasis shifts: Clinging to the expired: the door will not close itself gently forever. Reversals are not “bad omens” — traditionally they point to the same energy turned inward, delayed or overdone.
