Judgment
Day
By Claire Coleman, Ator Tarot by Robin Ator
On the face of it, Judgment looks like quite a severe card. You can see all the people rising from their graves! But what does it mean in a Tarot sense? Judgement can simply be about a time when you are being judged. It could be an exam or a test, for example--and the result will go well.
It can also indicate when YOU must decide something. Maybe you have a choice to make. It could even be that you hear a call to follow a particular path in life; the angel calls and we all must respond.
Judgment can also be about our personalities and who we are. All of us play different parts depending on who we are with. You can be a child to one person, and a friend to another person, and you'll behave differently with both of them. This isn’t a problem--you should act differently with your friends than with your parents, but you should always be yourself in each encounter. If you are desperately trying to be someone you are not--that is where things can go wrong.
Being true to yourself is the key, and once this happens the path becomes amazingly clear. Rocks and boulders that you foresaw along the way are suddenly gone--it's easy to decide what to do. The heavens are smiling upon you and that’s exactly what is happening--just like in the card!
