Death tarot card

"It's not over. It's composting."

Six quick picks first, then your reading

On the card

Don't fear the death card, a skull knight rides a white horse across a battlefield. The card seems grim, but the death card means a new beginning as much as it means something coming to end. Think persephone and hades more than the grim reaper. Or the death of winter leading to spring.

Upright
TransformationEndingsNew BeginningsRelease

You are facing an ending or a big transition. Will it be a phoenix rising from the ashes or the start of something new. Some trees only grow in the wake of a forest fire. Accept this part of the process of life and let the loss wash over you. This part of the cycle has ended, but a new one always begins

Reversed

You are energetically blocked by something from your past. Holding onto it is causing you more pain than you know. Everyone fears loss, but, alas, we cannot go through life without it. Feel the grief flow through you, but don't let it trap you in a place you don't belong

Its place in the deck.

Major ArcanaCard 13
One of the 22 Major Arcana. They point to the large themes and turning points in a life, not the day to day. When one comes up, the reading is about something bigger than this week.
StageThe turn inward
After the Fool, the Major Arcana run in three stages of seven: the outer world (1 to 7), the turn inward (8 to 14) and the return (15 to 21). This one is in the turn inward: the point where the tools that worked outside stop working.

Death for Taurus in Money and Wealth

The Builder

Pluto works on a longer clock than Venus-ruled Taurus is used to. Whatever this is, it will not resolve on Taurus's preferred timeline. Upright, this has turned inward, to the place where the outer tools stop working.

When reading about money through a Taurus lens, the Death says that you feel like money is proof you will not be abandoned, a problem you solve by having more than you need, and something you do not talk about. This has either meant accumulating without ever feeling safe, or knowing your number and defending it fiercely so you can actually rest. You have not looked at your full financial picture all at once, and the not-looking costs more than the looking would. The Taurus blind spot in it is the feeling that the ground is shifting under something they thought was permanent.

In practice that can look like a change in circumstance rather than an amount, or what money is for shifting. Whatever form it takes, it is turning inward, where the usual moves stop working.

Somewhere else?
