Death is the card of transformation, change, and rebirth. Although it has a bad reputation (made worse by B-horror movies), Death is actually one of the most positive cards in the Tarot! Death sits upright on his horse, ushering in a new era. Without winter, there is no spring. Death is the other side of life, making rebirth possible.
Death reminds us to let go of what is not serving us. When we let go of what is no longer healthy, we open ourselves to positivity and possibility. When one door closes, another opens. Similarly, Death signals that a major phase in your life is ending, but another is starting. When we lean into its energy, we can let go of the past and focus on our present and our future.
If you are asking about timing and you pull Death, it means that the event will happen after a significant transformation or ending has taken place.
Death is a card of rebirth, transitions, and letting go of what no longer serves you, signaling that timing is linked to the completion of a major cycle in your life.
This card suggests that something must come to a close before the event can occur—whether it’s a relationship, situation, or mindset.
Timing with Death is often tied to profound change, and it may indicate that the event will happen after you’ve fully released the past and embraced the new beginnings that follow.
The card can also point to Scorpio season or a period of deep emotional or personal transformation. Once the necessary endings take place, the timing will align for a fresh start.
Astrologically, Death as timing is associated with Scorpio season (October 24-November 21).

If you are asking about timing and you pull Death reversed, it means that the event is delayed due to resistance to change or an unwillingness to let go of the past.
Death reversed suggests that timing is being blocked because you’re holding onto something that needs to be released before progress can be made. Whether it’s fear of change, attachment to the old, or avoidance of a necessary ending, this card indicates that the event will not occur until you’ve fully embraced the transformation needed to move forward.
The Death card reversed warns against clinging to what no longer serves you and encourages you to confront the changes that are necessary for growth.
Timing will remain stalled until these resistances are resolved and you’re ready to step into a new chapter.

Timing in tarot can be a bit tricky, but with practice, it becomes easier to trust the flow of the cards. I recommend using a narrative approach, letting the story of the spread guide you, rather than relying strictly on rigid definitions. Ultimately, trust your own intuition—it will lead you to the answers you’re meant to find.
