Judgement

Number: 20

Planetary Ruler: Pluto

Traditionally, Judgement is symbolised as an angel blowing into a trumpet calling the figures below to rise up. There is one final step to the completion of The Fool's journey. The past cannot be put to rest until his actions are judged accordingly. Judgement is also labelled as Karma in some decks because it represents birth, death and rebirth. Past actions need to be understood and forgiven otherwise one will be stuck in an ever repeating cycle. Has The Fool learnt the lessons placed before him? When Judgement appears in a reading, it is asking us to consider the roles we play in life, how our actions have impacted on others and how we have responded to the actions of others.

In Love

In all relationships, decisions need to be made, and so this card's presence may highlight this. Some relationships will deepen, others transform and sadly some will end. Knowing whatever decision you will make will inevitably have consequences and this will come into play. Others may meet someone they feel they have known from a lifetime before, others will realise that a destructive relationship pattern is being played out with a different partner. For the more fortunate, the person you meet at this time has come into your life for the better and a deep and meaningful relationship will begin.

In Work

With Judgement coming into a work reading, there may be a compulsion to close the door on a current job and opening a door to a completely new career. Final decisions need to be made and this will come with great deliberation. The consequences of actions taken in a work setting may be under scrutiny therefore this is a perfect time for going that extra mile. Outcomes will be positive if one has been working with great effort and integrity.

Negative Aspect

Being judged wrongly or being overly judgemental on oneself or others. Inability to let go and forgive.
