In what situations will the layouts help to determine whether a person is alive or dead?
This layout is taken from the book by Vera Sklyarova entitled “The most complete self-instruction manual on Tarot.” The main essence of fortune telling is the search for a missing person, obtaining information about the main areas of his life. The Major and Minor Arcana of the Tarot are used for the reading.
Fortune telling will help you get answers to the following questions:
- What happens in the life of a missing person
- What is the temperament and lifestyle of the “lost” person?
By analyzing the meaning of the Arcana of the alignment, you can get an objective idea of the personality of such a person, how he manifests himself and what he strives for. The most important thing when interpreting is to include logical thinking.
Fortune telling is done no more than once every two to three months. Neglect of this rule will reduce all the efforts of the questioner to “no”. Be carefull!

Layout “Is a person alive or dead” by Vera Sklyarova (diagram, description of positions)
Let’s consider the features of drawing up a diagram and interpreting the positions of the “Alive or Dead” Tarot layout. Details are below.
The spread was originally created for fortune telling using the Rider-Waite Tarot deck, using motifs from the Gym theme called "Alive or Dead". The layout is quite simple, so it can be used even by novice tarot readers. The essence of fortune telling (as stated above) is general diagnostics.
Before carrying out the layout, focus on the image of the person you are looking for, clearly formulating the question of interest. Go indoors, carefully shuffle the deck, light a white wax candle and lay out the cards according to the diagram presented.
Positions are interpreted as follows:
S - significator of the missing. It can be pre-selected, or drawn from a deck of cards at random - it all depends on your preferences. The properties of the card are to set the tone for the entire future layout, characterizing what will be discussed.
1 - Gender of the person
2 - Age of the missing person
3 - The main area of a person’s employment is who he is in life, who he is, his occupation, etc.
Note. The three above Arcana describe factors visible to close people and those around the missing person.
4 - Talents, a person’s ability to do something. Internal potential, predisposition to a certain type of activity
5 - The worldview of the missing person, his philosophy. Inclinations, life attitudes, principles - what leads a person along the path of Life
6 - Current state of health
Note! Positions 4-6 indicate the internal state of the missing person. 4-5 cards should be considered in combination with the 3rd Arcana - then the questioner will be able to clarify assumptions about the person’s occupation, as well as his lifestyle.
7,8,9 Arcana answer the question “whether a person is alive or dead.” They are best considered in combination with the sixth position of the layout.
10, 11, 12 cards complement each other and indicate the circumstances of a person’s death/life. If the missing person is not alive, the Arcana will tell about the cause of death (what contributed to this event). If a person is alive, the cards will tell in detail about his way of life.
Advice. When interpreting the layout, be sure to connect the meanings of all Arcana with each other - this will help to get an objective picture of what is happening.
Tarot layout “Memento Mori” based on photographs (diagram, description of positions) - author Izmir
The essence of the “Memento Mori” layout in diagnosis from a photo is to understand whether the person of interest is alive or dead. Suitable for beginner tarot readers due to the ease of interpretation of positions.
The fortune telling scheme is divided into two sides - “Life” (Life) and “Death” (Memento Mori). Be sure to take this into account when conducting fortune telling! Shuffle the cards thoroughly, focus on the desired object, draw the cards according to the diagram below.
The interpretation of positions depends on the cards drawn. If, when selecting a significator at random, the Major Arcanum of Death appears, this clearly indicates that the missing person is no longer alive. In the absence of the above card, the layout should be read according to the combination of values of the dropped Arcana.
Note. If the Arcanum Death falls on the “Life” side, this means the following - the person you are looking for has recently left the world of the living. The condition is valid if the “Memento Mori” side contains Arcana that directly or indirectly indicate the death of a person.
Position 1. Displays the questioner, answering the question: “Is the missing person alive or dead?”
Position 14. Confirmation card showing the death or life of the person of interest.
If the person is dead, indicates the cause of death, answers the question “Who/what contributed to the death of the missing person.”

Unfortunately, working with magic cards is not always limited to the analysis of personal relationships, career, finances, travel, communication with others, and the person’s immediate future. Sometimes people come to a tarot reader with much more complex questions - for example, wanting to find out about the cause of death of a loved one or asking to find a lost person who is not in touch. Today we will talk about the second situation and consider the Tarot layout “A person is alive or dead.”
In what situations will the layouts help to determine whether a person is alive or dead?
Situations can be very different: a loved one has gone somewhere and has not been in touch for a long time, a relative has disappeared and attempts to find him have been unsuccessful, you have lost contact with someone for a long period of time and you do not know whether the person you are interested in is alive or dead a person. We cannot ignore very sad cases: when a body is found, but relatives are unable to identify it. In all such situations, the “Alive or Dead” Tarot layout will come in handy. Let's look at a few of its variations.
A simple layout “Alive or dead?”
The simplest fortune telling with which you can answer the question of a person’s death is to pull three random cards from the deck and analyze their overall meaning. You can also pull out just one card, but it is unlikely to give much information, and it is better, on the contrary, to use additional ones, for example, instead of three, take five.
Layout “Is a person alive or dead” by Vera Sklyarova
This layout, which helps you find out what happened to the person you are interested in, is also called “The Living and the Dead.” Its author is the famous Russian tarot reader Vera Sklyarova.
The layout differs from the traditional one. Take a Tarot deck and three candles of different colors - black, red and green. Place the candles as shown in the picture. Now we need to determine the significator of the person about whose fate we are asking the cards. You can assign it to one of the court cards depending on the person's gender, age, appearance or zodiac sign. Having chosen a significator and memorized it, be sure to put it back in the deck.
The next step is to separate the Major and Minor Arcana. We will make the layout with the Minors, and we will first designate the positions with the Seniors and the Ace of Swords, as in the figure. Next to the black candle we place the Arcana of Death (the “Dead” area in the picture), under it we lay out the following Arcana in the appropriate order:
- Chariot
- Hanged
- Star
- Devil
- Tower
- Wheel of Fortune
Next, we place the Sun Arcanum near the red candle - it will indicate that the person is alive. Below it, as in the picture, we place the World map. We place the Hermit near the green candle (the Missing Persons area), and under it there are two more cards - the Ace of Swords and Judgment.
Now we carry out the layout itself: we light the candles, take the remaining Minor Arcana (including the Significator, and put the remaining Major Arcana aside), think about the person, mix the deck and begin to lay out the cards one by one in the piles that we designated SA: i.e. First, the card is placed in the Chariot pile, then in the Hanged Man pile, and so on, first through the Death area, then through the Life area, then through the Missing Area, and again from the beginning. We lay out the cards open. We finish the layout as soon as we see our chosen Significator.
The meanings of the cards in the “Alive or Dead” Tarot layout according to Sklyarova are as follows:
- If the significator is in the Chariot position, then the person is dead, the cause of death is related to the road (had an accident, was hit by a car)
- If in the position of the Hanged Man, then either he committed suicide, or he was killed, hanged, poisoned
- Card form on the Star - a man drowned.
- On the Devil - death from drugs, or at the hands of a maniac, a person with mental disorders
- On the Tower - death as a result of a natural disaster or other force majeure, this can also include an accident such as accidentally falling out of a window, etc.
- Wheel of Fortune - he miraculously managed to escape death, he will soon make himself known
- A card in the Temperance position means the time of death - if the significator is in the “Dead” area, then we look at what kind of card lies in this place at the end of the layout
- The position means the person is alive
- Hermit - a person has gone missing: if the card is in the Ace of Swords pile, then most likely he has lost his memory due to shell shock, injury, accident, if in the Judgment pile, he is being held captive.
Tarot spread “Memento Mori” based on a photo from VeraLV
Another layout “Is a person alive or dead”, you can do it from a photograph. First, a Significator is also selected from the deck, symbolizing the one we want to know about, after which the deck is shuffled and random cards are laid out from it as in the figure.
If the Significator appears on the Memento Mori side, it means that the person is no longer alive, if on the Life side, then he is alive. If the blank card does not appear in the layout, you need to first analyze positions 1 and 14. 1 answers the question “Is a person alive or not?”, 14 gives confirmation. If the cards speak of death, then we consider combinations of cards on the Memento Mori side to determine the reason for death. If the deck reports that a person is alive, look at the Life side to understand what circumstances he is in at the moment and why he is not making himself known.
Signs of death and meanings of cards in “Alive or Dead” layouts
Sometimes it can be very difficult to determine the meaning of a card, because the same Arcana can indicate both immediate death and simply difficult circumstances in a person’s life. If you're doing a Dead or Alive Tarot reading, don't forget to consider the specifics of your deck. A lot of details can be found out if you take into account not only the traditional meaning of the cards, but also the specific symbolism of your working deck, if it does not belong to the classic ones.
If we are talking about the classics, then most often the following cards will be signs of death:
- 9 of Swords
You can also pay attention to the following SAs when they appear next to the Death card:
- - death due to negligence
- or Tower - suicide
- Inverted - death during childbirth
- - heroic death
- - natural death from old age
- Inverted Priest - religious murder
- - murder motivated by jealousy
Divination is used in the magical world for many purposes. This is strength, weapons and the ability to win even in the most difficult situations.
Fortune-telling the date of your own death is a frightening, difficult and moral test.
Fortune telling about a person's death seems frightening, a difficult moral test, especially if a beginner or magician creates a forecast for his own fate. Simple, card, complex and multi-stage - such predictions are extremely popular. How to find out the future and date of your own death?
Prediction
Life is unpredictable, amazing, multifaceted and full of secrets that are yet to be discovered. Great thinkers and magicians who have been studying ancient sciences for hundreds of years have tried to unravel the secrets of the future. Determining the date of death for a person means control over one’s own destiny. People say “forewarned, forearmed.”
Knowledge about the day of death opens up incredible opportunities for a person. Who is allowed to practice divination? A qualified magician who practices powerful rituals every day will help you create a forecast of future events. Magic will also help a beginner with sincere faith in his own and otherworldly powers.
Why is fortune telling needed?
How to find out how much is measured for a person? Fortune telling are magical rituals that have reached modern man practically unchanged. People learned to predict their own future back in the days of the Ancient World, when faith in God was just beginning to win the minds and hearts of common people.
Today, fortune telling for the future is a simple process that successful people and simply those who are tired of floating through life without a goal resort to without a twinge of conscience.
Finding out your death, the exact date and details of your last day on earth is scary, but also incredibly interesting. Fortune telling is different. With the help of secret magical rituals, you can find out the fate of a relationship, the outcome of an important enterprise and the cause of death.
Finding out the date of your death and the details of your last day on earth is scary, but also incredibly interesting.
People believe in an eternal soul. Into reincarnation or final destruction. The only truth that believers and skeptics agree on is that death will not escape anyone. The approach of death can change a person's priorities, warn him of danger and allow him to resolve unfinished business.
Such fortune-telling is incapable of undoing the end of existence on earth. Eternal existence is the energy that remains after loved ones, memories and good deeds. The body is just a shell that one day becomes lifeless.
Card fortune telling for death
Every person can look at the conditions of his own death, but not everyone strives to unravel the mystery of death. The most common and effective fortune telling that quenches curiosity and predicts death:
- gypsy fortune telling;
- prediction on Tarot cards;
- fortune telling with simple playing cards.
Those magical attributes that are at hand will help you determine the cherished date. Targeted predictions require careful preparation and the help of a magician. Conducting secret rituals on your own is dangerous, because negative consequences will not keep you waiting.
Gypsy forecast
The Gypsy people have long been famous for their supernatural abilities. Their ancient fortune telling about death will require no more than an hour of free time. Ordinary cards will help a beginner to navigate; experienced magicians often use the ancient Tarot deck.
It is unwise to take on a serious ritual without practicing on a playing deck. Over time, a person can move on to more complex fortune telling and use special magical paraphernalia. To make a prediction, you will need a deck of simple cards (36 symbols in total).
The cards are laid out on the table. This attribute needs to be charged with human energy. With your hands on the deck, you should focus on the exciting issue. Thoughts about death cannot instill fear, otherwise the cards will sense it and will not give an accurate answer. When the fortuneteller feels calm, the fortune telling continues.
Conditions for the ritual:
- the fortuneteller is completely alone;
- patients should not create such a serious prognosis;
- the work surface is illuminated with candles (can be bought at any temple);
- the cards are thoroughly mixed (laid out in several piles, then collected in random order);
- A hand is slowly passed over the laid out deck and those cards that give off a cold feel should be pulled out.
A card that does not emit heat will be the answer to the fortuneteller’s question about the future death.
Results of gypsy fortune-telling: how many years left to live?
The fortuneteller's suit will indicate the answer to the main question. It will not be possible to solve each card, rather than individual cards. Card suit value:
Diamond cards
They symbolize a long destiny full of joy. The death of such a person will occur from natural causes, in a calm environment. The fortuneteller is very old - that’s what any card of the diamond suit says.
Hearts suit
Such cards mean long-term prosperity and health for a person who appeals to the help of an ordinary deck. There is no need to worry about dying prematurely or due to illness or accident. Constant stress and hard work can provoke death. To extend your life, you should behave calmly and avoid constant tension. Don't be impressed with or without it.
Club cards
A sign of early death or sudden death. You should not be afraid of such a card, because for people warned of dangers, such a sign is favorable. They can prolong their own destiny.
Pike
A symbol that promises tragedy, irreversible fate, from which there will be a lot of grief. The most negative suit in fortune telling of this kind. She promises a lot of tears and no certain peace for the fortuneteller. Death will be terrible, painful and tormenting the soul of a person.
Gypsy fortune telling will not be the most accurate, but it can be used to confirm suspicions or calm obsessive thoughts.
Palm fortune telling
It is not difficult to tell fortunes about future death in any conditions. If you cannot find suitable attributes for prediction, you can use completely different techniques.
Palmistry is the esoteric science of reflecting a person’s fate on his own hand.
Each palm pattern is unique, inimitable. It contains all the answers, the path of a person from birth to death. The life line is the clearest and longest; seeing it in the palm of your hand is as easy as shelling pears. Based on its bend, branches and length (some lines end abruptly), the time allotted to the person is determined.
Only a strong personality with a persistent character and powerful energy should guess. Predictions will be detrimental to weak, gullible, suspicious people. They will become an obstacle to their own happy future. Life should remain a mystery, an interesting journey filled with surprises and important difficult circumstances.
Sudden difficulties strengthen a person and allow him to learn invaluable lessons. You can use magic to determine the date of your own death, but only after long deliberation and determination of all the risks of subsequent actions. How to tell fortunes for the day of future death?
