In the realm of Scorpio, the idea of death is not an end but a metamorphosis. We don’t cease to exist; we transition to another realm, experiencing transformation rather than termination. There are no ends—only new beginnings on the circular journey of existence. These reflections hint at the notion that our external identity is just a veneer for a deeper essence within. Our temporary physical form and analytical mind are only vessels of our inner spirit to engage with the material world.

The Death Card: A Symbol of Transformation

This unique depiction of the Death tarot card embodies the idea that death signifies not a conclusion but a transformation.

While the card is often associated with endings, it equally represents rebirth and renewal, suggesting that “Transformation” might be a more fitting title for Atu 13. The card can also indicate an intense and impulsive reaction to circumstances, characterized by a lack of personal accountability and an overpowering urge for achievement at any cost. It reflects the ego’s usurpation of ancestral and divine voices in the fervour of ambition.

Yet, it’s vital to recognize that the Death card is also associated with the eradication of illness and ties to healing. Its ruling planet, Mars, evokes imagery reminiscent of surgical precision and intervention.

Decans of Scorpio: The Watery Depths

Scorpio’s influence permeates the interpretations of the Five, Six, and Seven of Water tarot cards, echoing Scorpio’s archetype across various facets of life and emotion. Turning to the Death card can offer guidance and clarity when navigating the challenges presented by these cards.

In the Four Worlds framework of the QBL’s Jacob’s Ladder arrangement, the Tarot Death card’s path intersects with that of the Tarot Fool, forming a unique link between these cards.
