The Nameless Arcanum/Death

Your Life Reading

Relationships

Identify what's not working and put it behind you. Take stock, too, of the relationship itself. Dying flames can be rekindled with mutual effort, but embrace an ending if, in fact, an ending is what's best for you. Poets used to call orgasm the "little death," so, at times, this card can also point to a consummated relationship!

Work

Close out lingering projects and tie up loose ends. Now is a good time to consider all your options, including the possibility of moving on. Alternatively, you could put an end to feelings of unrest by deciding, once and for all, to stay put. Do what's best for you.

Spirituality

Spiritual scribes write of "dying to the world" - realizing that the physical world and its concerns are illusory at best. For you, the Death card is a reminder to focus on what really matters. Alternatively, the card can suggest a need to contact or honor your ancestors.

Personal Growth

Grasping the short, fleeting nature of life is one of life's hardest and most sobering lessons. Acknowledging your own impermanence can help you live your life more fully.

Symbols and Insights

Oddly, in The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, Waite writes, "[The] black banner emblazoned with the Mystic Rose ... signifies life." In your situation, how might ending one thing give rise to another?"

Bones persist long after the decay of the body; so, they are symbols of the enduring and eternal. Which aspects of your situation have persisted over time? Which aspects are temporary?

"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death" (Revelation 6:8). How do you feel about death? How might your feeling about death be a metaphor for how you feel now?

In many illustrations, it's difficult to tell whether the sun is rising or setting. Is your own situation just beginning, or is it coming to an end? How can you be sure?

The sprawled bodies and scattered body parts seen on many cards reflect death's disruptive force. How might the need for disruption figure into your situation?
