Judgement

The Judgement card is marked as the 20th card of the Major Arcana set in tarot. The Judgement card often features an angel blowing a trumpet. Below, people are rising from their graves, symbolizing resurrection and awakening. In other interpretations, it may be a figure resting upon a tomb right before a burial, with a beam of light shining down upon the grave. It may also also display a figure reaching out to the heavens, like in the one pictured below from the Light Seer's Tarot deck. Whichever the case may be, this can be an intimidating card, and summon feelings of either guilt or vindication.

When appearing upright, it may represent a period of awakening, renewal, and transformation. It suggests the end of one phase and the beginning of another, often involving significant personal growth. It is a card of reflection and evaluation, prompting individuals to review their past actions and decisions to understand their outcomes and learn from them. This card is associated with a higher level of consciousness and self-awareness. It often indicates a spiritual awakening or an epiphany that brings clarity and purpose. The Judgement card emphasizes the importance of forgiveness, both of oneself and others. It signifies a time for making amends and seeking redemption.

In a reversed position, it can indicate self-doubt, refusal to acknowledge past mistakes, or an unwillingness to change. There could be delays in personal growth or resistance to a necessary transformation. A fear of being judged by others is a common theme of this card. There could also be an internal struggle, or coming to terms with internalized guilt that may have happened in the past
