Free Daily Tarotscope -- Sept 7, 2014 -- Death

Death

Don’t be afraid of the Death card — it doesn’t refer to a literal “death.” It’s an indication that there’s something in your life that it’s time to put to rest.. or “put out to pasture” in keeping with the Prairie theme.

With the Sun opposite Chiron today and Mars in stressful aspect to Pluto, it could manifest as a snap decision, that aha! moment that tells you that something (or someone) just needs to go.

But be careful — this aspect can also be rash and impulsive, and potentially regrettable down the road.

Think about what is no longer serving you — whether that’s something literal, such as a relationship that’s run its course, or something more figurative, such as outdated ideas or belief systems.

Sometimes the Universe shows us just what we don’t need by removing it from us forcefully. In this sense the “death” can be a painful undertaking. But if you choose instead to cooperate, it can be an incredibly liberating experience.

In this rendition of the card, we see an old man getting ready to bury the remains of an ancient decaying bird. Perhaps this is a symbolic reference to something he’s held onto for too long — the carrion has been picked clean.

But this is no casual event: he’s dressed for the occasion and stands in solemn reverence as he prepares for the task at hand.

Whatever it is you need to let go of, there’s no time like the present. Be sure of your decision before you choose to cut those ties. But as the Universe does not appreciate a vacuum, you can rest assured that it will replenish whatever it is you’re leaving behind.

As you close one door another one opens, so be willing to take that final step.

The card used for today’s tarotscope — Death — is part of the Prairie Tarot series, designed and illustrated by the phenomenal artist Robin Ator.
