XIII - Death
+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+

A woman dies gently, surrounded by angels. A winged skeleton spreads his arms to arch over the scene.

My Interpretation: Each day could be your last - would you be happy with your eulogy?

Massive upheaval, time for a complete and dramatic change. Life is short, so seek real satisfaction and fulfillment while there is still time. It is time to take control of your own destiny and live your life in a meaningful way - if you found out you were going to die tomorrow, would you have regrets about how you have lived your life? This is the time to resolve them. To balance the karmic books and free yourself from lurking guilts and feelings of what could have been.

(Reversed: Fear of change is inevitable, but you must face it. Resistance is useless...)

Edit notes: Changed completely from v1.0 as old card was too scary for the meaning of the Death card. People worry enough when they get this card, so I needed to make it more positive. This card is nothing like the Rider-Waite card (Horseman of the Apocolypse), but that's intentional.
