Life Is Not A Matter of The Breaths You Take But It Is Determined By The Breath-taking Moments You Make
Today’s tarot is the Death Card. When the messenger of death comes knocking at your door and death beckons, the only thing that will matter is how you lived your life. Just like medical needs, did you provide relief to those in pain and hope to those who had lost the desire to live? Choose to live your life in a manner which you will not regret when twilight approaches.
The Death card has the image of a skeleton dressed in black and wearing an armour to signify your remains after life slips out of you and the armour indicates the certainty that death is the final destiny of everyone no matter how much they attempt to get away from it. The figure rides on a white horse to indicate the purity and innocence in your heart and it is a call to lead a great life filled with light to ensure your existence on earth is meaningful. The figure carries a black flag that has a white rose and this reflects the beauty and innocence of your life. On the ground below the horse, there is a figure of a person who seems to be dead and this is an indicator that it is time to bring an end to certain phases in your life. There is also a figure of a child and woman kneeling as well as a bishop and they seem to be pleading with the messenger of death to plead them. This is an indicator that you may be begging the universe to spare the life of a loved one who has been battling with a certain illness. The child may represent the innocence in your heart, the woman may represent the humility you portray as you plead with the universe and the bishop may represent how you turn to your spirituality whenever you are faced with issues surrounding illnesses and medical needs.
In the background of the card, there is a river and a boat floats on it and this is an indicator of the transition from this world to the afterlife. There is also an indication of the sun setting in the horizon to indicate the twilight of your lifetime. Finding the death card might be scary but it is a reminder that you need to let go of the past with every sunset and usher a new beginning with every sunrise.
When one gets sick, they go to a health facility to seek relief for their pain and treatment. A health facility is a building of hope where those in pain find solace and the heartbroken find a reason to keep moving. However, it is paradoxical that it is a building where lives are brought forth and lives meet their end too.
The Death card could indicate that you are in dire need of medical needs yet the services you receive are not to your content. You may be seeking medical needs in a certain facility but the facility does not meet your expectations. However,you have been hesitant to transfer to a facility that offers better medical needs just because you feel you may not afford it or you are just afraid of getting out of your comfort zone. The death card is calling you to leave behind your fears and embrace the unknown waters. You will never know what the future holds if you keep on holding and clinging unto the past. One who loves the sunrise must not be afraid of the sunset; seek to receive the medical needs that you deem suitable for you and see the difference it makes in your life.
Every person needs someone they can confide in and a shoulder to lean on in difficult times. When the storms of life come knocking, friends are the pillars that one needs to remain standing. Like medical needs, friends are essential especially in one’s low moments and they aid in quick recovery. There are people who feel comfortable alone and they enjoy their solo company without feeling lonely. While these people may feel like their life is smooth and they may not see the need for letting people in, the truth is that the storms in life can be very overwhelming when one has to face them alone.
The Death card is a call for you to quit being a loner and open up to other people. The card may indicate that you are scared of opening up to people possibly because you were betrayed in the past and you made a vow that you would never let someone so close into your life. The reality is that you are afraid of being hurt once you open up to them. As a result, this has made you lead a life of loneliness and even though you miss the company of having someone by your side, you have left the fear of getting hurt consumes you. This card is calling you to leave every pain in the past behind and focus on moving ahead. Friends are the medical needs you need to help you remain standing when you feel like your legs have no strength. You may be ill and require people to help you seek medical needs yet you have no friends to help you achieve this. Do not wait for the messenger of death to come knocking at your door for you to realize that you need friends.
The life of a person can be likened to the occurrence of a day where they are born at sunrise, they carry out their mission in life throughout the day and as the sun sets at twilight, they have to go back to the afterlife. The Death card is a reminder that your time in the universe is limited hence you should strive to be like medical needs and take away pain from those hurting. You are called to leave your past behind and focus on the bright future ahead.
