I like Death as a transformation card because of the death-rebirth cycle. It clears things out. The Fool has that energy when you’re about to leap into the unknown. Both cards work in different ways.
Death, Wheel of Fortune and The Hanged Man.
I always think of Death as being tied to Scorpio energy. It’s that deep, internal, transformative process. The Tower feels more like Mars. Sudden, disruptive, forceful action from the outside
The Moon, for me, is that in between stretch. The path feels foggy, and I lean on dreams more than schedules.
