JUDGEMENT

This unique card has been making an unusually regular appearance in a lot of readings recently for my clients and so I thought I'd write a little on it. The unique artwork depicts a scene strongly reminiscent of the Second Coming or Judgement Day. A great angel surrounded by clouds blows his bannered trumpet and the bodies of the dead rise in their tombs in a response of restoration. Restoration being one of several heavy themes with this card.

Now while this clearly depicts a Second Coming scenario and the scene takes place in the astral realm, it is not a message or meaning of Christianity or a godly action. This card refers to the person drawing it. It speaks to an internal restoration and RE-BALANCING. Something has happened within, the trumpet has sounded, and facets or pieces of the inner soul are starting to respond. A serious and very meaningful change is occurring within. It is aimed at producing a balance within the individual necessary for a total understanding of the personality structure and it's relationship to the greater universe.

When this card appears in a spread, it almost always indicates a recent psychic change within the person. It will probably not be a surprise to them, and often the card is what I call a "confirmation" placement in the reading. But it is also an "encouragement" placing with it's chief reason for making an appearance being to spark the individual to keep going in their inner process. They know the trumpet has already sounded, the card fully confirms that, now they must continue that process unique to them, to fully manifest the special change happening within. And that is a beautiful thing!
