Contrary to the Justice card, which pertains to legal matters and judgement, this card does not represent judgement in a legal context. Instead, it symbolizes personal judgement, where one can assess and make decisions or choices in their life. It signifies a time when we are being evaluated based on our past actions and are able to experience the consequences of our deeds. The idea of karma applies here, as life evaluates the decisions and actions we have made in the past, rewarding us or making us suffer accordingly. The trumpet depicted in the card serves as a wake-up call from our stagnant attitudes and our old, outdated beliefs. This card often indicates a period when we are urged to take action and be judged by our ability to step up and act. Simultaneously, while past decisions and actions shape our present reality, the choices, and actions we make now will determine our future reality. We have arrived at a stage in life that we have been preparing for; it is a time for us to fulfill our purpose and go beyond mere routine
Reversed or with challenging cards around the Judgement card, we feel that we are being judged by others or that we are judging ourselves too harshly. If this does indicate that past actions or decisions come back to haunt us, this is also a chance to take responsibility for that. We can’t change the past but we can change the decisions we make now. Putting off making a decision out of fear of making a mistake.
