A trumpet troubles the waters below the angel causing old hands to emerge out of the chaos. The ghostly image of a gravestone appears in the background. Bright stars shine showing a light in the dark. There is peace in the midst of this chaotic scene. The angel is approachable and soft, glowing with a quiet strength and power. Her large wings are able to hold her up above the chaos.The Judgement card is a call, but a call to what? You are being called to face your past before moving on. It's a time to admit what has happened, accept it and let it go. You've been through so much and seen so much that it has given you strength to free yourself from the past. It's a time of change. It could be a new relationship, a new job, or a new way of life.
Unlike most tarot cards that indicate change, this card shows you have more control. You've decide to heed Judgement's call and face things head on. It's time to make your final farewells to the past and let them go to bury themselves.
A word of warning on the reverse of Judgement. If it shows up in a reversed position, that is upside down, you are holding on to the past and using it as an excuse not to move forward. On the other hand, you could be moving forward, but dragging the baggage of the past right behind you.
