THE ROSE

Rose symbolism in Tarot:

Rose symbolism can mean things such as: Love, beauty, purity, sexuality, passion, desire, virtue, creation, spirituality, magic, and those are just a few of the meanings.The Rose is featured in several Tarot cards, Major Arcana: The Fool, The Magician, Strength, and Death.

THE FOOL-The "white rose" in his left hand represents purity and innocence.

The Wizards Tarot by Corinne Kenner and John Blumen

The Magician: represents purity and innocence found in the Fool, but also  represents worldly experience and knowledge. In the bed of flowers at his feet this duality is repeated in the mix of pure white lilies and thorny "red roses".

The "Strength" Card- The Woman is wearing a belt and crown of "roses" and stands "unprotected" in an open green field. The crown on her head represents the fullest, most beautiful expression of nature and transient life. 

Death-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. 

"AARGH!" THE DEATH CARD

Death from "Cats Eye Tarot" deck

Death-The card that freaks people out....
It kind of means, "out with the old and in with the new",  or changes.
Death of a relationship, plan, project etc...
I had it once in a reading where it meant someone was going to die, and they did ....It sure brought about changes!!!  The card reader didn't of course come right out and say,"blah blah blah is going to die". What she did say is, "there is going to be changes".....Your never suppose to tell someone in a reading a person is going to die.
Depending whether the card lands in the past, present,or future positions means different things too: Past-changes are already happening, future- changes will occur shortly, next to a court card-changes will happen through that person.                                              

A typical Death card (like R W deck)

Death reversed Rx

                                                                        
Death reversed or Rx-Meaning is not wanting to change, stuck.
