Death: At work, this card announces endings of cycles: jobs, projects, ways of working. A chapter closes, voluntarily or not, to free space for another stage. Rather than clinging to what was, ask what version of yourself life is inviting you to become now.

No reading is complete without looking at our darkness. These are the uncomfortable questions you must ask yourself today:

  • Death: What old version of myself am I desperately clinging to? What fear of the void prevents me from letting what has already died finally go?
  • Six of Wands: Am I using "success" as a way to avoid the deeper labor of transformation? Do I believe that if I am not "the hero" in every situation, I am unworthy of love and respect?
