Reading the card
Something can end without everything being lost.
Death signals a change that cannot be resolved by pretending that nothing has happened. Recognizing an ending allows you to say goodbye to a previous form and discover what part of you can continue in another way.
Death is a transit image within the deck, not a literal prediction. The fallen crown, the river and the light between the towers remind us that endings alter hierarchies and force us to cross a threshold. Name what has ended, what grief needs space and what custom no longer corresponds to the stage that is beginning. Transforming is not about turning every loss into advantage; it is about honestly acknowledging it and allowing life to take another form.
