Judgement
Upright: Judgement, rebirth, inner calling, absolution
Reversed: Self-doubt, inner critic, ignoring the call
The Judgement card often indicates that you need to make a life-changing decision, and this decision requires a blend of intuition and intellect. You may be at a crossroads, aware that any choice you make will bring a significant change. Tune in to your higher self, trust your judgement, and know you are on the right path. If you still need clarity on the situation, look to your past life lessons to guide you. Judgement comes up in a Tarot reading when you are close to reaching a significant stage in your journey. You have learned from your past experiences and you are now able to put the past behind you. You have found your absolution, having cleared any wrongdoings or regrets and releasing any guilt or sadness about the past.
The close-up of a Dia de los Muertos painted face relates that in death, we will all face some sort of judgment. Can you see the Judgement in her accusatory green eyes? What sins are hiding from your past? Or is it self judgement that you need to free yourself from? The Judgement card suggests that you may find comfort in sharing your struggles with others. There will be others who have experienced something similar and who can show you the way to freedom from your troubles. Let them help guide you.
The Judgment card is charged with the element of Fire.
