Card Meaning
Neither the pleas of the weak nor the devastation before him can stop the skeletal knight's determined advance. The king refuses death and is trampled by the white horse. The bishop's once-mighty staff now lies on the ground, as even God's representative has no special privilege in the face of death. The kneeling woman, once the all-powerful figure in the Strength card, has lost her power to resist and can only turn her face away, awaiting death's arrival. Most pitiful is the innocent child, still at an age unaware of death, curiously observing everything. However, can he escape the disaster fate has imposed on him? No force can prevent the arrival of death, just as nothing in this world, except time, can be eternally immortal. Yet this card rarely signifies physical death; it more often represents various forms of endings, while also hinting at the new beginnings that follow these endings.
