The art of Tarot has been around since the mid-15th century and has been used in fortune-telling for centuries.\u00a0Tarot divination has traditionally been a popular method for predicting future events all over the world, from romantic liaisons to career changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people say they can even be used to predict disasters such as death and divorce.  So can Tarot cards predict death? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, Tarot cards can predict death and many other events. A Tarot reading is based on intuition and the interaction of energy and is a snapshot of a person’s current circumstances. A future action taken in response to a Tarot reading can avert the outcome of a Tarot spread, including death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Death may turn up spontaneously in a Tarot reading, as it does in everyday life, but that doesn’t mean that you’re bound to keel over any minute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t own Tarot Cards of your own, then I would recommend that you purchase the Rider Waite-Smith deck<\/a> first. It’s symbolism is classic and the images are the standard for many Tarot Readers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Tarot Cards Can Predict Death<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The short answer is that Tarot cards can predict death, or literally any other future event. Anecdotally, many readers of Tarot have reported foreseeing a deadly event or accident in reading prior to the unfortunate event.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth of the matter is more complicated, however. While indicators of physical death might show up within a person’s Tarot reading, that does not necessarily mean that they themselves will die, or someone near them will die. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cards used to predict and interpret physical death in a Tarot reading have many other nuanced interpretations depending on what kind of spread they’re being used in, and how skilled the Tarot reader is at interpreting them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Death Card in Tarot Does Not Mean Death<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You’d imagine that in predicting death in a Tarot reading, you’d be looking for the Death card to turn up, but you’d be wrong. The truth is that the Death card very rarely has anything to do with physical death in a Tarot reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Death card is one of the most misinterpreted and feared cards of the Tarot deck and for no good reason. On the contrary, the Death card can be one of the most positive cards to turn up in a Tarot spread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Devil card is another misunderstood card, this article goes into more detail about the Devil card and the positive meanings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Symbolically, the Death Card in a Tarot reading represents transformation, abrupt change, and the end of an era. The Death card also symbolizes a person’s need to detach themselves from old beliefs and actions that no longer serve their greater good.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the Death card in Tarot really has nothing to do with physical death at all. It is much more geared towards internal changes in one’s outlook on life, and how one responds to changes in their life. It’s about bettering yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Tarot Cards Predict Physical Death?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So if the Death card doesn’t predict physical death in a Tarot spread, which Tarot cards do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 10 of Swords is one card in the Tarot deck that is often used as an indicator of coming physical death, especially in conjunction with the Tower card. These two cards pulled together are often seen as an omen of chaos and disaster barreling down on the person the card is drawn for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n10 of Swords speaks of great and tragic loss, deep wounds, and painful endings.\nHowever, it is also important to remember that a 10 of Swords card can also be\ninterpreted to mean betrayal, which can lead to a very different reading than a\nprediction of physical death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tower card is another card that is often associated with physical death in a Tarot reading, but like the 10 of Swords card, it can have multiple interpretations, some positive in nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tower card can also be seen to mean revelation or–when inverted–the action of averting near disaster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
