The next card in our deck is Death, representing Scorpio! Death's typical depiction is spooky! The messenger of Death, a skeleton, rides in on a white horse in a suit of armor, car rying a white rose on a black flag. A royal lies dead in the foreground, and a trio of a bishop, a young woman and child plead with Death to spare them (Death spares no one). In the background, a boat floats down the river. Last month's card of Justice encouraged you to hold yourself accountable and Death is a reminder that if you don't, she will. Her card is all about endings, change, transformation, and transitions. Death can mean rebirth, but it can also mean an end to a cycle. Pulling Death can be scary, but it can be the most positive card in the deck (if you play your cards right ayyyy)! It can symbolize the end of a major phase or aspect of your life that is no longer serving you, opening the possibility of something much better and much valuable. It's almost a cleansing card - it's time to clear away the old to bring in the new. Change should be welcomed and be a positive force in your life! Pulling this card can also have elements of sudden and unexpected change. Death happens to everyone, and such is true with a significant change. This change could be painful and unwanted, but ultimately could bring with it new opportunities and advantages for you. Additionally, this card can signify that it's time to let go of unhealthy attachments in your life to pave the way to a fuller, more fulfilled life of deeper meaning and significance. This is a perfect card to break a bad habit or pattern of behavior. Reversed, this card can mean that you are on the precipice of meaningful change, but are resisting it. Maybe you're reluctant to let go, or maybe you don't know how to make the change you need. Death reversed offers you the opportunity to embrace change rather than resist it. Surrender to the present by letting go of the past and your future will be better for it. On a personal level, this card could also show that you are going through a massive personal transformation. Ultimately, Death is a card about growth. The dichotomy between decay and growth. If you're not growing, you're dying. Our Death yarn is inspired by Persephone, the queen of spring (and also the dead) - mint and spring greens paired with a true black and finished with pomegranate speckles.
