Death: Angel of Transformation

It might seem counter-intuitive but don’t fear the Death card. It brings tidings of death to what is no longer serving your higher good, your higher purpose. It does not bring news of yours or any impending physical death. Think of it as pruning away deadwood to make way for new life. Just as you would call out an air conditioning repair person to replace the AC system in your home when it stops working, you need to apply this way of thinking to your personal life. Visualize leaves dropping from a tree in the fall because they no longer serve a purpose and the tree needs to conserve its energy and not feed dying leaves – all to make way for the new.

Think of the Angel of Transformation As Similar to Your Local Air Conditioning Repair Person 

It may sound crazy but the Angel of Transformation is similar to your local air conditioning repair person in many ways. Think about it – the AC technician transforms your system from one that was no use to one that works perfectly. With this metaphor in mind, you need to be prepared for new opportunities to enter your life – new relationships, a new job, possibly a new place to live. Most importantly, though, prepare your mind and heart to accept these changes as they make their way into your life, keeping in mind that this is all to move your forward in a positive way.

Also ready yourself to initiate change in your own life. Take steps to take an honest inventory of who or what is serving you – and what is draining your energy. Take a deep breath and sit in contemplation, asking for angel guidance as you move through transformation. Ask to release old beliefs. Ask for support as you work through metal challenges of resistance to change. Remember that angels are always with you, walking your life path alongside you.

Endings are Necessary for New Growth to Begin

Endings and release are a healthy, normal part of the life cycle of growth and change. While not always easy, ultimately endings pave the way for something new and improved over a current situation. Sure, there might be tears and challenges, but keeping the benefits of healthy transformation will guide you to continue moving through change.
