In the Death tarot card, we see a skeleton in armor riding in on a white horse as a messenger. This card represents endings and understanding that deaths and endings happen. The skeleton armored man holds a flag with a white flower with 5 petals. The number 5 represents change. This shows that death can represent changes, endings, and beginnings. The flower on the flag means that can be beautiful and victorious.
The person laying on the ground in the Death tarot card represents not being able to stop deaths and endings that are meant to happen.
