20. Judgment:The Trumpet of Divine Reckoning

“The call of destiny echoes—rise, transform, and claim your truth.”

Judgment in Tarot: A Guide to Awakening, Redemption, and Higher Purpose

Judgment is a card of rebirth, spiritual awakening, and stepping into one’s higher calling. It represents a moment of reckoning and realization, where the past is confronted, and the soul is called toward transcendence.

Traditionally, Judgment is depicted as angels blowing trumpets, awakening figures from their graves, symbolizing a final calling to truth and higher consciousness. It reminds us that self-reflection and embracing our soul’s purpose lead to true liberation.

If you pull Judgment, it’s a sign to release the past, listen to your higher self, and answer the call of transformation.

Ask yourself:

Am I listening to my soul’s true calling?
What must I release to fully embrace my next chapter?
How am I transforming into my highest self?
