A key aspect of reading your own tarot is interpreting cards. For a beginner interpreting a single card can be fine, as there are plenty of resources to help you out, however interpreting two or more can be very tricky.
However, if you have been practising single card readings for a while a 2 card spread will be a great introduction into reading multiple cards.
As you’ve found this page, you’re probably wondering how to interpret the Death card and Queen Of Cups card together in particular.
The Death card and Queen Of Cups have unique qualities and will interact with each other in different ways depending on what kind of reading you are doing.

When the tarot cards of The Death and The Queen Of Cups come together, it’s a sign that it might be time to make a change in your finances and job. The Death card suggests that it could be time to let go of something that’s been weighing you down for a while, such as a job you’ve been stuck in or an investment that’s not working out. This could be a difficult change, but it could also represent a new beginning.

What does Death and Queen Of Cups mean together for your health?
The Death tarot card and the Queen Of Cups tarot card together offer an important message for one’s health and well-being: it is time to let go of old patterns, mindsets and habits, and to move towards transformation and renewal. The Death card often speaks of endings and loss, and of the need to accept the impermanence of life. In the context of one’s health, it could point to a need to make significant changes, such as those that come with aging, illness, or an end to a certain way of life.
The Queen of Cups in this context speaks to the need for healing, compassion and love in the healing process. It encourages one to nurture themselves and to be open to being nurtured by others. It could point to seeking out the support of family and friends, or turning to healthcare professionals or alternative healing practitioners to help in the healing journey. It could also refer to taking time to connect with one’s inner wisdom and intuition in order to better understand what one needs in order to heal.
Although the Death tarot card and the Queen Of Cups tarot card may seem like disparate cards, when placed together, they offer an important reminder that transformation and healing go hand in hand. We must embrace endings and make room for change in our lives if we are to experience true healing and renewal. The presence of both cards together encourages us to seek out support and to access our inner strength in order to make the necessary changes to move towards health and well-being.
The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.
Common 2-card spreads
Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread
The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:
- The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
- The 2 card “Yes or No”
“The Fool’s Journey”
Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over
Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)
Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.
The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation
The 2 card “Yes or No”
Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.
Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.
The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.
Yes or No meaning
Both Death and Queen Of Cups mean “No”. If you are asking a direct question, then be under no illusions, the answer is a negative one. If you draw Death and Queen Of Cups the answer to your question is “NO”.
The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.
What does Death mean?
The Death card in the tarot can signify a great change in a person’s life, whether it is welcomed or dreaded. The losses associated with this card can be huge, but such losses and endings can actually be seen as essential steps in personal growth and transformation.
For health, The Death card can signify a need for healing and rest. It suggests that something in your life needs to be let go or transformed for you to fully recover and find balance. It can also indicate a major illness or health issue that needs to be addressed immediately. Whatever the case may be, it is important to observe the necessary steps needed to achieve better health.
The Death card can signify a major financial transformation. This can mean both positive and negative changes. It may indicate a sudden loss of income, a major restructuring in financial affairs, or a complete reallocation of resources. On the other hand, it can also signify the end of a financial struggle, the start of a new business venture, or a complete overhaul of one’s financial plan.
In relationships, The Death card could mean the end of an era or a major break-up. It can also indicate a need to transform the way relationships are managed or a need to reevaluate one’s values and priorities. There may be some losses and difficult parts, but ultimately this card could signify a positive change that brings new life and perspectives to existing relationships.
What does Queen Of Cups mean?
The Queen Of Cups Tarot card symbolizes healing, nurturing, and support. When it comes to health, this card speaks of being in tune with your body and its needs, listening to its signals and acting accordingly. It speaks to having a healing relationship with your body, being aware of its sensitivities and taking action to take care of it. This card can also mean taking the time to nourish yourself, be it through relaxation, proper nutrition, or exercise.
In the realm of finances, the Queen of Cups speaks to seeing our financial health as part of the larger picture of our well-being. It suggests taking a holistic approach to money management. This card encourages careful thought and consideration when it comes to making financial decisions, as well as a striving for balance between our responsibilities and our needs.
Finally, when it comes to relationships, the Queen of Cups encourages listening, compassion, and understanding. It speaks of being kind and gentle in our interactions with others, and to bring that same level of tenderness to our own self-care. This card encourages us to approach our relationships with an open heart, ready to give and receive unconditional love.
Conclusion
Understanding how the meaning of a reading changes once you start involving more than one card can be tricky. This will come with time and practice, however I hope this guide on what your cards might be telling you when you draw Death and Queen Of Cups has helped you.
