Death Tarot Card Meanings
In a pack of tarot cards, the Death card is not what most people think it represents. Even though it depicts the Messenger of Death, under the guise of a skeleton dressed in black armor, riding a white horse. However, the skeleton represents the part of the body that survives long after life has departed it; and the armor symbolizes invincibility, but, death will come no matter what. Its dark color represents mourning and the mysterious, while the white horse represents purity and acts as a symbol of power and strength.
Death usually carries a black flag that is decorated with a white, five-petal rose, this reflects beauty, purification, and immortality, and the 5 symbol represents change. Together, these symbols show that death is not just about life-ending, it is about endings and beginnings, birth and rebirth, transformation and change.

The Death card ad mentioned above is the most feared and misunderstood of all the cards in a Tarot deck. Just mention this card’s name and people will generally freak out, worried they will keel over and die the second this card appears. However, relax! The Death card can also be the most positive card in the Tarot deck.
After a period of reflection with The Hanged Man, the Death card represents the end of a major phase in your life that no longer serves you, which opens up possibilities of something more valuable and essential. You, however, must first close one door in order to open another. This means that you need to put the past behind you and be open to embracing new opportunities and possibilities.
It is often difficult to let go of the past, however, you will see its importance and the promise of transformation. But if you resist these endings, you could experience pain, both emotionally and physically, but if you use your imagination and try to visualize new possibilities, you will bring forth a more constructive future.
