MAIN MEANING
Parting ways, farewell, the end. Yet, the card promises good things, although it can hardly be referred from its name. The end is a natural progression of things and you have been waiting for it for a long time, because it brings a welcome release, although accompanied by pain. The end is not violent, but natural. It is time to part with someone or something. You enter a new chapter of your life, which is a reason for your sadness, but also for joyful anticipation.
WORKThe Death card means the end of your current activities. The card recommends that you finally part ways with the job or position to which you are accustomed and free your mind to get ready for what comes ahead. You should not be hasty: the card recommends to give yourself time to reflect and take stock of your accomplishments. Only after making sure you don’t owe anything to anyone, you should take the next step.
CONSCIOUSNESSThe card indicates a completion of the next stage in personal development, parting with old ideas about the world and your place in it. Most often these are certain psychological patterns, established convictions and beliefs, which we have taken over from our parents, teachers or other people without much critical thought. However, these also could be our own patterns of behavior that we’ll have to abandon in order to get to our true selves. On a deeper level, the card could also mean that if we reconsider our attitude towards death, we’ll see that it doesn’t mean the end, but a goal, and therefore a person, having reached the peak of life, begins to live for the sake of death.
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPSThis is the end of another phase in your relationship. In most cases it means parting ways with a partner. Even if it is very painful, it is impossible to avoid. Don’t delay the inevitable break up, and cut the knot. Be gracious to thank your partner for all that he has given you and wish him/her luck.
