The Tarot card that signifies Scorpio is Death.

This is often seen as a scary negative card, but it just shows the truth of the world we live in. Nothing lasts for ever, even mountains wear down eventually.

The card shows death reaping but  the people are not afraid, they look straight at us.

Things must end for new conditions to rise.

Empires rise and fall, relationships start and end, all of life is in flux.

This card encourages us to be unafraid of change. Let go of fear and the need to control everything in your life, and become part of the creative and evolutionary cycle. See the opportunities for change, growth, transformation and rebirth, and grasp them with both hands to improve your life.
