Death Spread Tarot Spread

Positions

1. 1. What is dying — The specific structure — relationship, identity, role, belief — that has come to its end. Named with precision so it can be released cleanly.
2. 2. Why it must — The deeper reason this ending is necessary. Not "because it failed" — because something else cannot be born until this one releases.
3. 3. What survives — The thread that carries through. The love, lesson, or capacity that does not die with the form. The seed that travels between chapters.
4. 4. What is born — The new life waiting on the other side of the threshold. Often quieter and more specific than imagined. The genuine offering of the transformation.
5. 5. How to grieve — The actual practice of mourning this ending — what you need, what to do with the loss, how to honor what was. The card most often skipped and most often essential.
