How long have you known (chatted or whatever) with this person? Relationships can be on many levels, even just as associates. I would have read the death card as the ending of you two "talking, chatting, relating..." What were the other cards? Lin

Hi Kyle, Welcome to the forum. If you drew the Death card in answer to a relationship question I'd say you are probably being advised to let go of past situations. If you feel it has to do with the relationship that never was initiated then I would take Death to mean it is, excuse the play on words, "Dead in the water.". I feel the Death card for you means to close the door on the past and get ready for a dramatic change. No sense resisting, it's inevitable. Ahh.....a new chapter begins. You don't have to worry about spelling or grammar here. No one ever mentions anyone's bloopers. We all seem to operate on some sort of common linguistic ground. This is a great forum with kind people all sharing the journey the best way we know how. I hope this is helps. Go Nets! Blessings............Moose

kyle, when asking for assistance with a reading it really helps if you - list the entire layout (cards) - list the spread used - list the deck used - share you question (if there was one) - share what it meant to you (like you did :) ) that was we can try to use the same deck as you when we re-read your reading to bring more light to the situation. in light, jade :D

It's hard to interpret one card out of a spread, as the cards all relate to each other, in order to make sense for that specific reading. Death usually relates to letting go of what has been in order to embrace what is to come in its place. I described it in an other thread as being a quite healthy card in that aspect, since without it we'd be stuck where we are, not being able to let go of what we have, and therefore not being able to move on towards our future. But letting go can hurt, since we are often creatures of habit, and leaving behind what has grown familliar is not easily done, whether it's for a good healthy cause or not. That's why this card is Death and not just Change, since it demands to let go of something, leave behind and not look back - BEFORE we get to find this new energy that awaits you. So your interpretation might have been right, that it's time for a new relationship, end to the single life, but not necessarily the way you expect it. Here's where the other cards would probably have been a key, without them I can only speculate. Perhaps the relation (if only a talk-on-the-Internet-relation) triggers some development in your life, so that in the end this turns out to be the catalyst of what will happen, even though the new relationship might not be specifically THE one... Could that be it? In my opinion all relationships have something valuable to offer, if only an insight or a gentle "push" in the right direction! Good luck! Jenny :)

the death card usually doesn't mean Physical Death, just lots of change. The major change in this situation could be that you meet and really talk to the person in real life instead of on the internet.

The death card could mean that you and that person's conversation/frienship will come to an end, but it is hard to determine the meaning when the other cards are unknown...perhaps you should redo the reading... Blessings, Rain

the card in this case meant an ending to talking and end of connection it over

have you ever seen the deck...it's an oriental deck, the death card named -transition-? i'm entirely tangled up with someone on the internet and i've been talking a lot with her for about a year, just recently i started to get the death card as an outcome, consistently, and it gave me a huge shock. but it's really nothing much. i mean, as far as the card goes, i think you can have an end without ending what's going on...it could be an end of a phase...after all, death is more of a force than an actual outcome. and remember also, a lot of people tie death to the ideas associated with scorpio...so maybe a good idea would be to read up about that. there are plenty of brilliant astrology websites about. so, you know, death doesn't necessarily mean you're going to die. although, if i die tomorrow, i'll be sure to tell you. cheers
