Judgement (XX)

Being judged, releasing judgment 

This card depicts what one would imagine the last judgment would be, in the various forms that takes in many mythologies. The image in the Judgement card shows women, men, and children who are rising from the grave to respond to Gabriel’s trumpet call. Their outstretched arms symbolize that they are ready to be judged by the universe. They are about to meet their creator, their actions weighed and find out where they will spend the remainder of eternity: in heaven or in hell. The massive tidal wave in the background signifies that judgement is unavoidable, and that this judgement will be final.

Judgement is ruled by Pluto, who is the underworld’s ruler. There are echoes of this card in Death, for they both remind us that everything comes to an end and that a new beginning is coming.

Meaning

The traditional Judgement meaning focuses on the moment when we reflect and evaluate ourselves and our actions. It is through self-reflection that we can have a clearer and objective understanding about where we are now, and what we need to do in order to grow as humans. The Judgement card appearing in a reading signifies that you are coming close to this significant point in your life where you must start to evaluate yourself.

To see this card can also indicate that you are in a period of awakening, brought on by the act of self-reflection. You now have a clearer idea of what you need to change and how you need to be true yourself and your needs. This can mean making small changes to your daily life or making huge changes that not only affect you, but the people close to you.

Key Themes

The Fool encounters the Judgment stage to have everything they've done this far be weighed in the balance of their life. It's the last stage before the spiritual transformation is complete and comes with a message to release judgment off themself in order to finish the last cycle.

What This Foretells

Upright: reflection, reckoning, awakening Reversed: lack of self-awareness, doubt, self-loathing

Memorization Tip

The Judgment is symbolic of the final stage of their journey at the end of this cycle, season, or chapter. It doesn't mean their journey is over, but that this portion is nearing completion.
