Death

Death is not a literal omen of doom — it proclaims the natural end of a phase and the beginning of profound transformation. Certain old identities, relationship patterns or attachments have served their purpose; letting them close makes room for what is new. The ending is transformation’s first step.

Reversed, Death shows resistance to an ending: you know an old pattern has run its course, yet fear keeps your grip tight and the transformation stalls halfway. It asks you to see that postponing the goodbye only prolongs the drain — completing it is how the new truly begins.
