TODAY’S MESSAGE -

Something new wants to emerge in your life, but for that to happen, you must first release that which has run its course. Today, take time to seek closure—say goodbye to a relationship, habit, or attitude that no longer serves you. Though this ending may be painful, know that this is a necessary and valuable step in your personal evolution.

Death is a card that frightens many. But this card gets a bad rap. Its message is actually very valuable and potentially beneficial. The Death card - Major Arcana Thirteen - is a card of ending before an utter transformation. It’s like the caterpillar in a cocoon, on the verge of becoming a butterfly.

This is a time to rid yourself of what is no longer useful. Seek closure before moving forward. You may be about to end a job, move house, or end a relationship. This may not be an easy change., but it is necessary for your maturation and well-being.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, this card is advising you to look around you and decide what to let go of. Only when you free up stagnant energy will new things begin to emerge.

If you’re going through a time of painful loss, find solace in knowing that you will look back at this time as the beginning of a new chapter in your life.

Let go and trust in the universe.

ADVICE: Discard old beliefs, routines, and attitudes. Accept and recognize the need for endings.
