Death as feelings
“Something old in me is ending because of you, and that's good.”
Death as feelings is change, not loss of love. This person feels that something between you is ending or transforming. It can be the end of a phase, an old pattern, or the way they used to feel.
What they may be feeling
- A sense that things cannot stay as they were.
- Letting go of an old way of relating.
- Readiness, or fear, about what comes next.
Death reversed as feelings
“I'm holding on to something that's already over.”
Reversed, the change is resisted. They may cling to how things were, avoid an ending they know is needed, or feel stuck between the old and the new.
Depending on where you are
- Someone new
- Meeting you is changing how they see love.
- In a relationship
- The relationship is moving into a different phase.
- After a breakup
- They are closing a chapter, inside themselves.
