Death features the Scorpion and the Eagle, both symbols for the astrological sign of Scorpio.

Scorpio comes late Oct to Nov: the time of harvest, of death, of culling the weak from the stock. And Halloween ^_^ The sign itself symbolizes regeneration, transformation, intensity.

This is the card that made me stay away Thoth for a year!!

Hi I am new to aeclectic and thought I might start contributing something to this thread.

With the death card I sometimes feel we have taken some of the meaning out of it by giving too positive an interpretation of it. We all know that death does not literaliy mean death that more often it means drastic transformation. I feel that this transformation always involves some loss, some element in our lives dies. For example Women sometimes draw the card when pregnant with their first child because a way of life is about to disappear as a new one takes its place.

I drew the Death card this morning in the 6th position of the CC and I was happy to see it - change to me, drastic or not, is exciting and I look forward to it. The sun always follows...

Warmest,
