Major Arcana

# Death

Mokṣa (मोक्ष)

Liberation, Release

Death. A necessary ending brings transformation—Mokṣa, liberation through letting go of what has completed its cycle. This is not physical death but the dissolution of old forms, clearing space for profound renewal. What must die in you wants to die; resistance only prolongs the agony. Feel the release. The caterpillar cannot negotiate with the cocoon. Embrace the ending. The new cycle begins.

## Keywords

Transformation

Endings

Renewal

Transition

The Work

Nekyia
