How appropriate that this card shows up today … at a most auspicious, energetically transformative time with the Full Snow Moon and several powerful celestial conjunctions overhead … make no mistake, Folks, today marks a powerfully magical Portal:

Death is a card of an ending before an utter transformation.  It is like the caterpillar in a cocoon on the verge of becoming a butterfly.  It is time to get rid of what is no longer useful.  Seek closure before moving on.  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, look around you and decide what to let go of.  Only when you free up stagnant energy will new things come to you.  If you are 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.
