Death from the Awaken Tarot

Your Tarot Mentor for October 2026:
Death

Theme: Transformation, Evolution

Action/Advice: Let go of your old form, like a caterpillar gaining wings

In general: Graduation, marriage, a move, a birth, a dramatic hair cut or other physical changes

In relationships: A relationship moves to a new phase, or you end a relationship you’ve outgrown

In work/career: Transferring to a new department, a new company, a new industry, retirement

This card tends to freak people out, but it does not show up to indicate physical death. It is about endings…because a new cycle has to begin. There is something in your life right now – a job, a property, relationship, a stock, a philosophy – that needs to change for your benefit. A phase or chapter is complete and with it comes your evolution. This card calls on you to transform – like a caterpillar to the butterfly. Consider performing a small ritual to honor this rite of passage – like we do for graduations, weddings, retirement or birthdays. This will help you transition.
