Death and Dying

DEATH

ENDING
TRANSITION
ELIMINATION
INEXORABLE

Yes, the Death card can signal a death in the right circumstances (a question about a very sick or old relative, for example), but unlike its dramatic presentation in the movies, the Death card is far more likely to signal transformation, passage, change. Scorpio, the sign of this card, has three forms: scorpion, serpent, eagle. The Death card indicates this transition from lower to higher to highest. This is a card of humility, and it may indicate the Querent as being brought low, but only so that they can then go higher than they ever have before. Wang notes that Death "humbles" all, but it also "exults." Always keep in mind that on this card of darkness, there is a sunrise as well.

Death dreams for many have different layers and complexities that are often overlooked when the dream ends.  When one witnesses death in a dream, there are so many other dramas that are being played.  I often see death as a natural progression of cycle.  Death and life intertwined.

    My dream.

    So I'm in the lower part of my neighbors and my woods. When I notice a fist size hole in the ground. I look into this hole and see an orange brick, like the kind they used to build brick houses. I reach in and pull it out only to see that there was another brick under it with ancient writings on it. As I stand up and turn around I notice a brick Sarcophagus lid laying in the bushes 10 ft in front of me. The I notice like five or six more full Sarcophaguses and tomb stones that had been pushed over as well a life size all white statue of Virgin Mary. Every thing was very old, I was panicked, perhaps my house was built on some kind of Indian Burial site. All this stuff was and always was there but I had never seen it before.

    What does it mean?
