Description of the Judgment card

The card of the Judgement puts in scene an angel who holds a trumpet and 3 characters who receive this message. His red arms show that he has the power to act and that he can also act on matter and not only on spirit.

The landscape made of golden hills (according to the versions of the tarot) show the state of mind of the characters and the obstacles that present themselves on the path.

Blue and red rays come from the cloud on which it rests and show that it emanates from the energy of his person. The trumpet he holds in his hands symbolizes the divine voice or divine justice, divine judgment.

In the second plane of the arcana, in a lower plane we see three flesh-coloured characters (humans) with blue hair (they receive the message of the angel) who draw a triangle (symbol of unity) and who are naked (nakedness) because indeed this nudity has no sexual connotation. Their position and body show that they are praying, that they are in an attitude of thanksgiving. One figure seems to come out of a coffin and the others are praying. It would seem that the angel's call raises the dead and gives access to another form of life. It also reminds us of the Archangel Gabriel. The others are praying, ready to listen to the Last Judgement.


There is no escape from the judgment of the angel.

The Judgement Card reminds us that everything has an end, but also that the end represents the beginning of a new beginning.

The Reversed Tarot Judgement card may indicate that you do not accept to see the truth. You then connect to what you believe to be true by having a wrong vision of the world. Perhaps you doubt yourself or refuse to accept the truth as it appears in the open.

Your inner monologue prevents you from seeing and seizing new opportunities. Thus, your gaze remains riveted on your beliefs and preconceptions and prevents you from seizing new opportunities and opening yourself up to renewal.

Everything has become mechanized. You don't take time to ask yourself what is essential. You miss the essential things in life.

Knowing how to question yourself

The Judgment on the other hand will also be able to show that you are not happy but without really knowing why because you do not question yourself or you do not question yourself in your functioning mechanisms. You will then find it difficult to overcome your obstacles and you suffer the consequences that you cannot overcome either.

The Judgement Card can seem complicated at times. It essentially expresses the idea of taking responsibility for one's actions. That is to say, depending on what one has done, one obtains a result. Therefore, it is true that in a print, its interpretation is not easy.

The Judgement will also express the fact of listening to one's inner voice and following the path proposed by our spiritual guide. This is not easy because it is constraining and forces us to turn our gaze away from our daily interests to see in a wider and more extensive way. It is a question of understanding that we are here to be happy and not constrained in circuits that go against our fulfilment. But our inner guide can help us to find this path again. It is up to us to know how to listen to it and especially to listen to it.

The Tarot meditations can help you to connect with your spiritual guide to better understand what is the best path and the best decisions for your well-being.
