The Major Arcana Tarot card associated with Scorpio is XIII Death.

By Michelle Crandell
The astrological sign, Scorpio is associated with the Major Arcana card Death/Rebirth. For those influenced by this Tarot card, commitment to the process of transformation and change provides meaning and purpose. This commitment takes many forms. 

Some Scorpios reinvent themselves numerous times. Others help people in transition find their way from an ending to a new beginning. Others pursue a spiritual path that emphasizes release and detachment. Some become fascinated by the mysteries of birth and death and rebirth.

Death/Rebirth Wisdoms: “What has a beginning has an end.” “Change is the natural order of things.” “Attachment is the cause of much suffering.” “All relationships end.” “Practice loving detachment.” “Turning away from closed doors allows you to find the open ones.” 

Want to let go of an incomplete project, a bad habit, a destructive relationship, an identity that no longer fits, a lifestyle that’s not right for you, a situation that has outworn its usefulness, memories that bring you sorrow? Seek guidance from the Death/Rebirth card..or a Scorpio counselor. Notice a new beginning awaits.

Challenges: getting stuck in some aspect of the grief process, attaching to the suffering involved in change rather than the growth, trying to rush the process of transformation.

Archetypes: The Buddha, Swans, Butterflies, Phoenix, Snake.

Shadow Aspects: The Reaper, Skeleton, Vampires, Zombies, Frankenstien’s Monster.
