Death and Love Reversed

Death Reversed in Love

When Death appears reversed in matters of love, the card's upright promise may be blocked or expressed in shadow form. Reversed, it often suggests hesitation, fear of vulnerability, or patterns that keep intimacy at bay. The energy of Death inverted can point to unhealed heartache, reluctance to commit, or a need to address inner barriers before love can flow freely.

In a love reading, Death reversed invites you to look at where you might be closing off or repeating old wounds. Acknowledging these blocks—whether they stem from past relationships, self-doubt, or fear of change—can open the way for healthier connection. Reversed, this card asks you to honour your need for safety while gently challenging what no longer serves your capacity for love.
