Individual Card Meanings
Death
死神
Death rides on a white horse, carrying a banner of the mystic rose—symbol of life and rebirth. This card rarely means physical death; rather, it represents profound transformation, the ending of one chapter so another may begin. What must die for you to be reborn? Death clears away the old, the stagnant, the no-longer-serving to make room for new growth. While this transformation may be painful, it is necessary and ultimately liberating. The Death card promises that what rises from these ashes will be more authentic, more alive than what came before. Do not fear the ending—embrace the transformation.
