Death Tarot Card

Scorpio and the Death Card connection

Death Tarot Card – the connection with Scorpio Death is ruled by Scorpio. Scorpio is the natural ruler of the Eighth House of the Zodiac, commonly referred to as the “House of Death and Inheritance.” Let’s see the Death Tarot card: Upright: Endings, beginnings, change, transformation, transition.  The banner that Death carries has a black background, indicating an absence of light. The white rose, on the other hand, indicates beauty, purification and immortality. In the background of the card, there is a rising sun, a sign of immortality. The sun appears to ‘die’ each night but is reborn fresh and new every morning. The two pillars on the Death Tarot card are guarding the gateway to the sun, symbolizing the knowledge needed to gain immortality. The boat on the water in the background is the ferry that transports the souls across the River Styx. The background is a neutral grey, again showing Death’s impartiality. Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto. The esoteric and Greek mythological meaning of Pluto is the agent of death. This could mean …

You will know right away once you discover the most telltale signs and traits of a Moon-Mars fighter in someone or maybe even yourself. A Moon-Mars conjunction person’s most revealing positive attributes are not that difficult to detect. They are fearless and fierce warriors, ceaselessly fighting and very effectively defending themselves and others. Especially if others were unjustly hurt, even more so, if push comes to shove. On the other hand, you must be aware that no fight can remain silent, especially so when it’s virtually constant and some might say even the centerpiece of one’s life. Lust, joie de vivre and heroism can seem pretty frightening as well if wrapped in 24/7 raging and rebellious outbreaks of anger. Mars Moon conjunction – suggestions Our initial suggestions?

Those around them truly appreciate the lionhearted hero, but can easily be burned and alienated …
