The Death tarot card when picked by a person resonates with the fact that a painful period in life is coming to an end. It does not necessarily and most often than not signify physical death. It would be downright careless on the part of a tarot reader to come to a conclusion about physical death when referring to this card.
It may signify the death of a trauma that may be haunting your life since long, end of a relationship or marriage. But every end means a new beginning, isn't it? It also signifies fresh new beginnings in your life.
So the tarot death card signifies a life anew. It is not to be taken, as a negative card because it signifies the end of things, but also new beginnings and for every new beginning, there has to be an end of the old.
When the death card appears reversed in a reading, it may stand for stagnation or resisting the transformation the card may be hinting at. This may lead to loss of opportunities. A reversed Death card may signify loss of friendship or back stabbing in relationships.
