The death card in a reading often freaks people out, but there's no need to be anxious. Death in tarot and in dreams rarely represents physical death, although it can. The majority of the time, it represents a symbolic death ranging from old patterns, careers, relationships, attitudes or perhaps an entire lifestyle.
My favorite death card image is from Karen Vogel and Vicki Noble's Motherpeace Round Tarot Deck.
The snake has picked the bones clean, symbolizing a complete dissolution of the old. The snake is symbolic in that it sheds its skin on a regular basis, remind us that this is a good emotional and spiritual practice for us as well. Snakes have a multitude of meanings in our dreams and renewal is one of them. They can also represent a "snake in the grass" about to hurt us. This might be a person or our own demons such as negative thoughts, patterns and behaviors that we need to shed.
The coming of spring along with the current supportive planetary influences make this an excellent time to reflect upon shedding that no longer serves us.
