This card represents transformation and rebirth. Although it depicts a skeleton riding a horse, the true meaning isn't as frightening as this. It means death in the symbolic sense. Change is coming. Something in life will die and fade away. And although this can be difficult to deal with, when one door closes, another opens. This is the rebirth that is also coming. This is symbolized by the flag the skeleton carries, the Mystic Rose, which represents life. The sun, symbolizes immortality, shines in the corner of the card. This card represents the importance of accepting change as it occurs, for it is through clinging to the old that people really suffer.
