My sister chose some cards after me and the same card came up. A few weeks later i chose some cards again and the same card came up. What does this mean??? Please if you know about tarot cards, please help me!!

Answer 1

The Death card almost NEVER means physical death. It means Change or Transformation, the end of something AND the beginning of something new. It is a card of life and growth.



Some people will try and scare you about the power of cardboard cards. (And SHAME on them, for trying to scare someone obviously nervous and sensitive. There is nothing in Tarot that is against Christianity, and there are christian Tarot readers.) Any magic in the cards is the power of the mind and Intuition and the ability to use metaphor and symbols and imagry, to seek meaning or patterns... Real Tarot is a meditative tool, and more about choice and perception that about predictions.



Whether change is good or bad tends to be determined from how you handle it; are you dragged into the New kicking and screaming, or do you step forward into new territory, eyes and ears open to the beauty which may be before you? Do you walk in fear, looking only back, or do you walk in peace looking forward? Birth itself hurts, it's traumatic; but it's a good thing, isn't it?

Answer 2

It is not a "death" card, "Le Pendu", is the "hanged man", it does not always mean death, in the literal sense, it depends on the layout in use, it can also mean a journey, or a great change, (i.e. the end of a way of life, presaging a new era for some), do not read into this, more than it is, it all is a matter of interpretation, dependent on the layout, and the current events in a life, it simply is not true that it means death, at all, this is a science fiction interpretation of the card for the movie people, who so love drama, Tarot cards need to have a question asked at a "reading", the result is that the question is asked silently, (in your head) as you shuffle the cards, and then pass them, to the reader, who should not be told what was being asked of the cards, the interpretation is supposed to be unbiased, in these circumstances, and the choice of the matter of layout, is dependent on the reader, different layouts, need to be read, in a different way for each,



But the matter of appearance of the particular card is down to chance, and it appearing twice is actually a lot more likely than a normal deck of cards, depending on the Tarot used, a "Swiss Tarot",( the "original" is actually a far smaller number of cards than most, containing only the "picture" cards), and is commonly used for divination, but a "Full Tarot" has 72 cards, and a Tarot never foretells of a death, just a "life change", in the hands of a master reader, they are really quite interesting results, but few fully understand how to do such a reading, and my suggestion is, that you treat this as a game, nothing more, than a toy, for amusement, I was taught how to read some years ago, and have frequently given many "accurate" readings, but I always say that this is done for no other reason, than entertaining people, but I have even astonished myself, sometimes, with these readings....



But I have never seen an interpretation, that leads me to believe they are any more than coincidence, or the ability to read peoples worries, ( I have spent a lifetime of work at a Poker table, (33 years in fact), and have got used to much of peoples behavior, in that time), however much I do it, I do not believe they are anything but a toy......and you should too...........

Answer 3

death is a card of new beginnings - if you look you will see some green shoots somewhere in the image.



Soem endings are really good ones like getting rid of an ingrained fear -



Soemthng you have to realie about the tarot is that it uses a sledgehammer to crack a nut liek dream language is so dramatic and when you distil the emaning it is often very mundane and down to earth - Our subconscious wirk s on this kind of imagery - Gettign upset about one image is not useful becasue you ened to see it in the context of the wider picture -



Also it is time limited - not soemthing that is goign t be hanging over you -

the tarot works on patterns if this then this.



Don't frighten yourself start to learn about the tarot properly then it can be your tool and not your master - or let someone with some skills do a reading for you.

thre is a free tarot website llewellyns free tarot.



It could also be because these cards are damaged in some way and keep occurring as that is where the pack splits naturally.



You need to get a sense of perspective the tarot is about archetypes and is highly colourful and dramatic - the skill is to ground it in real life. You are getting overly dramatic with it rather than grounding it .



if you dont know what the change will be then pick another card to get more information- It isn't really advisable to do your own tarot reading though as you need a bit of objective distance.

Answer 4

OK. Calm down. I can put your mind at ease.



Tarot cards were created in the mid 15th century to play card games. Yes, they are playing cards! The Death card is one of the fifth suit of cards that took as its theme a traditional triumph procession of the time, hence they were called trionfi, meaning triumphs, and from which we get our word trump. It was the invention of tarot that marked the invention of trumps in card games!



The cards were co missioned by the Duke of Milan as part of the celebrations for his daughter, Bianca Visconti's marriage into the Sforza family. Many historians think that the cards specifically represent the triumph procession that was held to celebrate Bianca's birth in 1425. So, you can think of the cards as a 15th century birthday party. Nothing scary about that!



If you drew the death card more than once, well, it was just chance. It may not be a high chance but it can happen (after all, someone wins the lottery, against all the odds and we don't think wow, that was unlikely, it must be magic!).



If you want to know more about the real history of the cards and how they are still used to play just good old fashioned games, take a look at these sites:

Answer 5

the death card means that something needs to end so something new can take its place, think about the question you were asking in your mind when you drew the card.



if you are just drawing randomly like any deck you will get random cards, if you are actually scared of that card in particular you may be thinking of it as you draw.



think of a question and stay focused on that not what cards may come out of the pack. if you do not understand a card ask for clarity , say in what way, or what area of life, it may become very clear once you have done that

Answer 6

You must mean the Death card.



When that one comes up it very, very rarely actually means physical death. More often than not it means a change is on the way, or some type of transformation, most of the time spiritually or emotionally wise.



Keep in mind too that like any oracle, Tarot only divines a possible future. Anything it tells you is never set in stone.

Answer 7

Playing with Tarot Cards is a very dangerous pastime because they are part of the occult which is governed by the devil who is termed the Father of Lies in the Bible. So don't be alarmed by what anyone relates to you from these cards. The devil is the arch-enemy of the Lord Jesus Christ and this is one of his methods of preventing you from having a personal relationship with Jesus. If you are asked again to choose a card, just say that you are going to seek the real truth in the Bible as to what Jesus says about the future especially about life and death. When you find the answer I assure you that you will not be worried as you are now.

Answer 8

Hey man, you got a life card too-so what you freaking out about? Surely that means you have equal chance of living or dying!



That's is, of course Tarrot cards meant anything at all-personally I'd be more concerned about the fact your getting worked up over glorified paper...How apt that you put this in the mental health section.



You shouldn't mess with this stuff if you don't have the constitution for it-you'll get all paranoid and jumpy and starting looking way too much into things (like the next time you get a headache you'll think it's a brain tumour or something). It's like people who play with Ouiji boards notice more when things go bump in the night.

Answer 9

Death means the end of a cycle for a new one. It's usually a calmer change than the Tower card. Don't panic. The Death card meaning some1 is going to die is Hollywood b/s

Answer 10

Tarot cards are a bunch of nothing. Ithink it is pretty sad that your mom would include you in something that makes you really scared. Tarot cards are used in the realm of like mediums and fortune tellers....and can tell you nothing! I can also predict that someone will die--and someone will because that is life--but not because I predicted it...or picked a certain card.----now if someone you know should die it has nothing to do with the cards-it is coincidence.

IT CAN NOT PREDICT CHANGE EITHER-GOOD OR BAD.

Tarot cards are from the evil side of things-maybe mom doesn't know-tell her it scares you OKAY!!!!!!!

Answer 11

Be interested to know what deck your mom uses as I have never heard of a life and death card.



The death card refers to death of a situation or circumstance. It should not be taken as an omen of death.



Also a little note for the whole never mess with tarot cards - its not a ouija board and do not involve channeling spirits directly.



And the the satan/ evil comments... Look into a belief system before deeming it evil etc. Tarot cards have nothing to do with god or satan.

Answer 12

Lets examine this from a different perspective.

Imagine that you had a regular pack of cards and the same events had transpired except that the ace of spades had been the reappearing card.

What would that mean?

The answer will be the same for any other deck of cards whether it be tarot or phase ten.

Answer 13

it means you are reading way too much into something that has nothing to do with anything at all. death cards don't always predict death but without seeing the cards and getting a reading i can't really help you out. no one can. but don't read too much into tarot cards they are just a fun thing to mess with and don't hold any real credibility into anything.

Answer 14

Stop using tarot cards.

Answer 15

the death card does not necessarily represent a death. it represents a profound change in one's life. much like the passing thru to another status of being that happens when we die, the death card usually represents a significant change in a life pattern, or a mode of being.



tarot cards are not to be played with randomly, or are they to be read by amateurs. i would advise in the future that if you are interested in tarot, to begin a study course with someone who is familiar with them. they are often misread and misunderstood by those who haven't studied them. they are not dangerous, nor do they predict the absolute future. that stuff is from the movies. if you are interested in your future and want to consult an oracle (like tarot cards, runes, the i ching and what not) you should consult a trusted professional.



it is important to remember that freedom of choice and free will choose our paths for us. not cards.

Answer 16

if you're online, look up the meaning of cards, and shuffle a few out. Death means a change, not actual dying. Think of it as a pheonix rising out of the ashes. Bring the cards to your mom, and ask her to teach you how to read them. You might end up with a new hobby :)

Answer 17

Tarot cards are nonsense, just as ouija boards are. Trust your own common sense and ignore them.

Answer 18

Greetings,

First of all, I've never heard of a deck where there is a "life and death" card. There is, however, a death card. And all that the death card means is dramatic change, not physical death.

Hope this helps.

Answer 19

It means nothing. Tarot cards are just a game, they don't predict anything. Those who think they do are sadly mistaken. You are reading way to much into this.

Answer 20

Stay away from tarot cards. Where is their proof?. You do not need them in your life. I was silly enough years ago to swing a crystal to see what was in store for me. Now I chose what is in store for me in life. Ditch the tarot cards.

Answer 21

Death card has nothing to do with death. It's a representation of "New Beginning". A new path. Also you shouldn't let other people use your cards. They are yours. It doesn't work with other people. You have nothing to fear. ^.^

Answer 22

The card "death" does not mean literal death, it means change.



.

Answer 23

I have a deck I used to play with now and then. Nothing ever happened though. They are just thick printed paper, it's unlikely that paper actually possesses the ability to predict anything.

Answer 24

tarot card predictions are meaningless

Answer 25

It means that your mom's card deck consists only of "life and death" cards.

Answer 26

Dude. You're getting worked up over cardboard.

Answer 27

Sounds like you need to buy some new cards... I personally lean toward ROOK... no death cards in ROOK.

Answer 28

Get a grip and come back to the real world...!!!!

Answer 29

Never play with terot cards, Ouija boards, or any other such stuff. It either doesn't work and is a total hoax, or actually works but only because of demonic intervention. If the latter is the case, it becomes a foothold for Satan and may even result in possession.



This is not a joke. My pastor confronted a possessed woman in Uganda that started freaking out during worship time. You can't believe in God and the devil without believing in demons. These things can become much more than just mere toys. Stay away from them!

Answer 30

Quit playing with tarrot cards. It is a sin and who knows what you are inviting in your life. Play with the bible instead.

Answer 31

You're doomed. I hope you said your prayer's today. Praise Jebus.

Answer 32

Ohhhmm... It meannssssss...



You are easily fooled, you moron!
