These Tarot Cards Are Telling You To Let Go

  • Updated

Death

The Death card appears when you are about to undergo a significant life change. This change can sometimes be difficult, but you need to accept it and let go in order to experiences its full benefit. The Death card appears to remind you that – even during the hardest changes – you will eventually overcome the change, feel settled, and experience significant growth and positive outcomes. 

Death often represents the closing of a major life chapter. Prepare to have something huge in your life shift. It might be something that’s very difficult for you to accept or it might be something that you’ve been ready to let go of for a while. Regardless, understand that Death is telling you that the best thing you can do for yourself is to let go, move forward, and see what new positive changes life has to offer you.

The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man appears when you are feeling stuck in your ways. Perhaps you are frustrated with your current life or feel unable to make a change. But the card is here to remind you that it is time to let go and change your life. You’ve been hanging onto the things that are no longer serving you, and now you feel bound to them. The Hanged Man shows you the reality of the situation; it is time to move on to new things.

Whether you are stuck in a dead relationship or having trouble advancing your career, the Hanged Man is a reminder that a fresh start can be a positive thing. It aims to bring you the idea that not all change is bad, and that letting go can be a good advancement for your personal growth and life satisfaction.

The Eight of Cups

The Eight of Cups is more about letting go of the past than anything. By allowing yourself to forgive your past and close your old wounds, you make more room for the present. If you receive the Eight of Cups, it’s often a sign that you need to let go of past experiences and memories that are no longer serving you. Maybe you’ve been spending too much time in the past or are struggling to fully let go of something you no longer have.

This card can also come around the time of an abandonment, though this is often seen as a positive thing when it comes to the Eight of Cups. Perhaps you’re letting go of an old job that wasn’t satisfying or a hobby you no longer cared about. Allowing yourself to let go of these things, move forward, and focus on the present is the lesson the Eight of Cups aims to teach you.
