Judgement Tarot Card Meaning

Judgement stands for a chance to look back on the experience you have had and choose a new response. This card is about sorting out what to choose by your changed standards now, rather than blaming yourself again for past mistakes. The aim of looking back at past choices does not end in judging yourself but in changing your next action.

Reversed, look at a state where self-criticism has grown too harsh, or where a truly needed decision is being put off. Reflection is not punishing yourself but a process of changing your next action. Merely recalling past mistakes again and again does not change the choice you make now.

The figures rising at the sound of the trumpet show a scene of looking back over the course traveled and choosing a new response.

Relationships

Upright In a time of looking again at the relationship between you, including a reunion, check whether anything has actually changed. After sorting out the hurt of a past relationship, look at whether you are ready to begin a new one.

Reversed Rather than repeating self-blame, write concretely the behavior you want to change in the relationship. If you keep chewing over a past romance, cut back that time and sum up in one line the kind of relationship you want now.

Work and study

Upright Reflect what you learned from the results of past work in your next plan. Look back over a year of work, sort out what went well and what needs reinforcing, and set your next goals.

Reversed Look at whether you are avoiding evaluation or giving up on chances because of a past failure. If you are putting off checking feedback on your work out of fear, read just one item first.

Money and daily life

Upright Look again at past spending and contracts to reduce the same mistakes. Sorting last year's income and spending onto one sheet gives you a standard for this year's budget.

Reversed Rather than blaming a past money decision, review it again with the information you have now. If past money mistakes are making you delay a necessary financial decision, try again starting with a small amount.

Upright Write down one fact that has changed since before and one standard by which you will choose again. Pick one matter that has long weighed on you and set in one line the response you can make now. If you divide the standards to carry on from the behavior to fix in past decisions, and decide how to apply them next time, the time of looking back becomes preparation for a new start.

Reversed Decide and write down one standard you will change in your next judgment. Pick one decision you have put off and write the date this week by which you will settle it. If you do not stop at re-evaluating a regretted choice but decide the behavior you will change next time, self-blame or avoidance no longer hides all of your present chances.

Judgement is the chance to look back on experience and answer by a new standard, and Death is ending the ways that no longer fit it. Together they check whether looking back turns into real clearing out and decisions.
