Together the cards ask for care in love. One card is cautious, so look at what needs to change before you invest more.
Death and Seven of Cups in a career question

With a Major Arcana card in the pair, the work question is part of a bigger change in direction. Cups in the pair ask whether the work still means something to you.
Death and Seven of Cups as yes or no: Leaning no
