Judgment counsels us to look at the big picture. Judgment advises you to step back and look at the big picture instead of getting stuck in the details.

Judgment is a Tarot card, part of the Major Arcana suit usually comprising 22 cards. This card is referred to as a time of resurrection and awakening, a time when a period of our life comes to an absolute end making way for dynamic new beginnings. This card depicts what one would imagine the last judgment would be, in the various forms that takes in many mythologies. Judgment is ruled by Pluto, who is the underworld’s ruler. There are echoes of this card in Death, for they both remind us that everything comes to an end and that a new beginning is coming.

The Judgment card reminds us that we all will be faced with choices that will have an astounding effect for your entire life. The card brings to mind moments where actions you have taken have changed the course of your path for good. There may have been a moment where there is no looking back. The consequences of those actions eventually will catch up to you, and this card seems to indicate that this is the time. You may have to let go of the past, so you can move forward with your plans to have a new life. 

The Judgment tarot love meaning indicates a time of self-reflection and analysis initiated by an awakening. Issues in your love life that you once ignored may be seen clearly now, and you have the chance to make adjustments. Keep communication with your partner open, and make sure both of you are aware of each other’s needs.

You may be going through a period of awakening when it comes to your career path. Perhaps you have found a new purpose or a calling that cannot be ignored. This can sometimes come with adjustments needing to be made at your workplace or your position. While this can be stressful, these changes can bring you a sense of feeling revitalized when it comes to your work. If your workplace has been tense, the Judgment card also signals that you may need to be more aware about how your actions at your workplace are affecting others. Take some time to evaluate how your behavior has been, and what can be improved. Take responsibility for your actions and your part in any conflicts that have been brewing. 

The reversed Judgment card can mean that you doubt and judge yourself too harshly. This could be causing you to miss opportunities that were awaiting you. The lost momentum causes you to fall behind in your plans, which can make it difficult to move forward. This means that you should not be cautious, but you should be moving forward with pride and confidence.

Another reading of the Judgment reversal card can be a push to take time out of your busy routine to reflect upon your life to this point, and what you have learned so far. You are most likely not giving yourself the time or space to fully think about the matter and learn the lessons you need to to be able to progress with awareness. You could also be too critical of your past actions, so you are not giving yourself the forgiveness to move forward. The mistakes that we have made in the past are learning tools, so they help us move though life. Focusing too hard on these mistakes can cause us to trip and fall.
