Nikki’s Weekly Tarot Reading: April 27- May 3, 2026

Death and King of Pentacles

This week, we welcome the month of May with a Full Moon in Scorpio. This lunar energy is powerful for new beginnings and letting go of the past. The cards serve as supportive guides, illuminating our path through the current energies.

For the second week in a row, we received the Death card. Death represents not an ending, but a beginning; it serves as a guide for transitioning to a new month under the Scorpio Full Moon.

Death is about letting go of things we might be holding on to that are making our load too heavy. With this card, we let go of the past and begin anew.

Death brings about a powerful transformation. For some, this change can feel disruptive, while for others, it can be refreshing.

Many of us are afraid of change and anything new. We are fearful because we crave permanence and consistency. We want to hold on to whatever we have, even if it’s time to let it go.

But in Tarot, Death is full of beauty and is a deeply powerful card. When it shows up, we are ready to say goodbye to things that cause us pain or have run their course. We are prepared to have a profound metamorphosis.

With Death, we ask ourselves: What needs to be transformed? What must we let go of to thrive? What must die so we can live more fully?

By connecting with our inner voice, we will hear what needs to be released. Whether it is a toxic person, a stagnant job, or a habit we’ve outgrown, we are ready to let go.

With Death, there is always some pain. We must acknowledge that there will be grief in letting go, even if we release something that no longer serves us.

When you connect with what needs to be transformed, honor this by doing a releasing ceremony or ritual. Write what you want to let go of on a piece of paper, then give the paper its own transformation.

This could include ripping it up and letting it burn, burying it in the earth, or simply saying the words on the page out loud. Whatever you choose, this ceremony will help honor the process of death.

Our second card, the King of Pentacles, serves as our grounding card. It reminds us of our core strength and encourages us to use our resources to remain centered.

We sometimes struggle to separate our identity from our experiences. However, we are not the chaotic events occurring around us; we are those experiencing them.

We choose how to ride the waves. We can allow circumstances to take control, or we can skillfully navigate the path with awareness. The King of Pentacles encourages the latter approach.

This King embodies patience and understands the importance of timing. He knows when to step back and wait to make decisions, especially when anxiety compels an immediate response.

Making responsible choices now leads to greater freedom later. It’s not about instant gratification or giving in to fears, but rather making decisions that benefit us in the long term.

The King of Pentacles invites us to question: How can you begin to distinguish your identity from your experiences? Are you able to observe your reactions and pause before acting? Can you make choices driven by love rather than fear?

Take time to establish boundaries, practice centering, and cultivate mindfulness to connect with the King of Pentacles. He will support us all this week as we ride the waves.

Mantra for the week: I let go of old stories and heavy doubts. I move forward with patience and kindness.
