The Death Tarot and Marigold

The Death Tarot signifies it is time to let go of the past. The time has come to grow beyond limitations, metamorphically. It rarely is to be taken as a literal death.
Many times when we think things are happening to us, they are actually happening for us. As we overcome obstacles, setbacks and heartbreaks, with grace, we grow, and ascend.
