Death tarot card meaning

Death upright signals transformation — one chapter gently closing so another can open. Reversed, it points to clinging to what has already run its course. Its core symbols — transformation, endings, renewal — make it one of the most recognizable cards in the 78-card Rider–Waite deck. Practical edge: Release what is finished to make room for renewal.
