If we take a closer look at the drawings on the card, it shows Death riding a white horse with a black flag with a white pattern in one hand. It portrays a human body after death as only a living skeleton is depicted on the card. The armour he wears makes him invincible - signalling that no one can destroy Death. The white horse that he rides stands for purity, as Death purifies everyone. Beneath him, all classes of humans lie in the dirt - a king, and a pauper, meant to remind us that death does not differentiate between class, race, gender.

Although it is the Tarot card that most people fear, the Death tarot card generally does not mean physical death. This Card usually signifies spiritual transformation and a time of change and new beginnings, not actual death. The transformation or change that Death brings can be difficult, unexpected, sudden or even traumatic but it will bring with it a new lease of life. It's best to try not to resist the change the Death Tarot card brings as resisting it will only make the transition difficult and painful. Instead try to embrace the change as a fresh start.
Death tarot card in the context of love and relationships can signify that you may be holding onto a relationship that’s not working or you may be clinging to old patterns that are stopping your relationship from moving forward. Death signifies that things are going to change whether you want them to or not. You can either resist the change or embrace it. If your relationship is not going well, the card can indicate that it may be time to walk away, it can indicate divorce or that you and your partner need to make big changes and let go of old patterns or issues to make it work. The old issues the Death tarot card may indicate changing can be deep seated and painful.
In a career context, this card serves as a caution against relying too heavily on something that isn't serving your best interests. Life guarantees change above all else. If you're dissatisfied with your current job, it's wise to actively seek new opportunities; otherwise, circumstances may push you towards change. If you're hesitant to leave a secure job to pursue your own business, Death suggests it might be time to take the leap. Financially, the Death card can signify a period of tightened resources or unexpected losses. However, rather than letting this setback discourage you, view it as a catalyst for positive transformation and valuable lessons ahead.
If you have been feeling like your health is never going to improve, Death can signify that a change is coming. However, how you handle this change will go a long way to determining the outcome. If your health has been bad and illness has left you feeling pessimistic, try to embrace the coming changes by changing your attitude. Try to find something positive each day even if you feel ill.
If you're in a relationship and this Tarot Card appears reversed in a love tarot reading, it suggests significant resistance to change within your relationship. You might be clinging to a partnership that has outlived its natural course due to dependency or fear of being alone. Alternatively, you could be staying with a partner out of obligation, even if your feelings have faded. On the other hand, it could also indicate that a relationship you thought had ended could unexpectedly reappear and reignite.
The Death Tarot card reversed is an indicator that now might be time for a career change or new direction. You may be resistant to this change because you are afraid to let go of the security you have. You may like the stability and routine your career brings even if you find it unfulfilling. You may have been engaging in behaviour patterns that have stopped you from getting to where you want to be. Financially, much like the upright meaning, when this Major Arcana card appears reversed in a Tarot spread, it tells you that a financial deterioration of some sort may be inevitable and you will need to rethink how you manage your finances to get through it.
In a health context, Death reversed can be an indicator that you are resisting tackling your health issues or being proactive in your treatments. Maybe your health woes are physical symptoms of a deeper issue and you are resisting resolving that. Maybe you have old fears surrounding a particular type of illness and you’ve been avoiding check-ups as a result. Go and get it out of the way, it will give you renewed energy.
