Think on this quote from Maya Angelou:
"Each of us has that right, that possibility, to invent ourselves daily. If a person does not invent herself, she will be invented. So, to be bodacious enough to invent ourselves is wise."

What is the meaning of the reversed Death tarot card?
The reversed Death tarot card suggests that you may be resisting change or feeling apprehensive about letting go of the past. It's completely understandable to have those worries, but holding onto negative patterns and regrets will hinder your personal growth.
The Death card is gently nudging you to face your fears and embrace the transformations that life is offering you.
Remember, change is a natural part of life, and by avoiding it, you might miss out on amazing opportunities for personal development. So, take a deep breath, be brave, and trust that letting go of what no longer serves you will lead to brighter days ahead.
Love and Relationships
Whatever position it’s in, the death card signals profound change for your relationship circumstances. However when the card is reversed it’s signals that this change will be met with a lot of reluctance and resistance.
You do not want things to change but change they must. Perhaps you are reluctant to let go of a relationship that is not working, or you are single and feel nervous about meeting new people and opening up to love again because of past pain.
The Death card reminds you that you can’t fight your fate, and the more you do the more unhappy you will be. Embrace acceptance and feel hope, for in letting go of past romances that didn't work, you can open up new possibilities to meet your true soulmate.
Career and Finance
Perhaps you have been made redundant or a job or course you really enjoyed has come to an end. You may feel a sense of hopelessness or lack of purpose at the moment, and regret missed opportunities in your past. Reconnect with the things that you enjoy and broaden your skills to build up your confidence again. Things have changed and a time has now ended, but you will have opportunities to flourish again in the future.
Contemplate this quote from Lily Tomlin: "Don’t be afraid of missing opportunities. Behind every failure is an opportunity somebody wishes they had missed.”
