The Death Card In October
October is a month that is full of changes. We often talk about how the veils are thinning and we can communicate with the other side. I think that more attention needs to be given to the energy of endings today and I wanted to take a look at that with you.
Perhaps it’s because everyone fears endings? The Death Card in Tarot often scares people as they see it as Death.
This is the Death card from my main tarot deck the Mystic Dreamer Tarot. People are often afraid of this card as let’s face it, if you don’t read tarot, this looks like a pretty darn scary card! I remember the first time I looked at my deck being a bit intimidated by this card.
However as in my readings I want you to look at some things. The Death card doesn’t always indicate a physical death. honestly in all my readings I’m not sure that I’ve ever had it come up in anyone’s readings. I have had it come up in my personal reading for a fur baby but it was a specific question asked. The Death card in the tarot is the death of some thing in your life. It can indicate that a phase of your life is ending and you are getting ready to begin a new path. It can indicate the death of something going on in your life that is not for your greater good. It can indicate the death of something that you’ve been working on as it’s finally complete, or the end of something that you’ve been waiting for. Honestly it is a pretty positive card in the deck but it is one of the most feared cards because of how it is depicted and the word death.
When you look at the card I want you to focus on the girl who is white and flying to the sky indicating spiritual and emotional freedom from something in her life. The child who indicates that you may be able to recapture something magickal from your childhood or you may release something that you need to from your childhood. I have rainbows of your ancestors looking after you from the other side. Part of why I love the Mystic Dreamer Tarot is that there is so much in every card and the cards will change for me every time I read for someone.
October is like the Death card in Tarot. I think if we really emphasized the things that are coming to an end in your life right now it might freak you out a bit. However it’s a matter of perspective. Let go, release any fears and release what you need to end this month. The energy around you is preparing you to start new things and making room for new energy around you. It’s all about balance in energy. Without releasing old energy you cannot embrace new energy.
Embrace your ancestors this month, those you have lost, fur babies that you have lost and then transform that energy into something positive that you can take with you. I know for some of you who have suffered recent losses that can be difficult. In time though you will be able to use their energy to help give you strength as I can assure you they are on the other side watching out for you.
Really go with the flow and embrace this energy of change that’s around of you. While it can be a scary time I urge you not to be afraid of it as it will go smoother if you trust and let go.
Have a magickal day!
Much Love and Many Blessings,
