Summary

The tarot card that Mel pulls when reading fortunes for the day is #13 of the major arcana, the Death card. Generally, the Death card does not symbolize death as a reality in the context of someone dying. The Death card represents the end of one chapter in life and the beginning of another and actually registers positive news in most readings. This is also the card of change - off with the old and on with the new. Traditionally death only predicts an actual death around the querent when it is with the Nine or Ten of Swords.
- However, Mel drew the Death card upside down. When a tarot card is drawn upside down, its meaning is reversed. When reversed, the death card means total panic and disruption will be around the querent's life. The reader would normally advise the querent that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that she should keep battling on.
- Neither the regular or reversed meaning of the Death card indicates luck. It may be that Mel was being optimistic or lying to her friends.
