So I have been reading for 10 years and still I like to do a mini reading each night for myself from 1 card pulls to 3 card spreads. I pull the cards and journal what I think it will mean. Then the next day I go through and look at the cards again (I leave them by my nightstand) and see if I notice any alternate meanings. I have discovered many different angles to look at cards doing this. Also meanings I wouldn't have thought of. I alternate decks every 3 days or so, that way I can always have exposure with all my decks.
Interestingly enough I have been trying to get pregnant. As I was trying back in December I kept getting The Empress reversed. Sure enough I got pregnant then miscarried. We started trying again and this time I continually got the Death card. Like not once or twice but 3-4 times a week no matter shuffling etc and with several different decks. This very much disheartened me because since I had a miscarraige and Death can at times mean death or things ending (would I not be able to carry)?
Then one day it hit me...Death.. A often painful (Labor/Delivery) end to a way of life (Freedom of not having a baby) that leads to a necessary and better change (New life with baby). So painful transformation to something better. No matter how much you want a baby it is very hard when they are first here (I have another child) and you lose freedom and can be frustrating, tiring and overwhelming. However it is so worth it in the end when you get your feet under it. Painful transformation in literal sense labor and delivery fit that bill.
So I am now a few months pregnant and well past the stage of miscarrying. I have a strong healthy pregnancy so am now getting ready to face that painful transformation. Ever since I came to this "Dawning" I stopped getting the Death card.
Just thought I would share perhaps a non-traditional view of this card relating to something I didn't think of before. )
