Brief Description

An angel emerges from the clouds, trumpet in hand, calling forth the souls below. Judgement signals the moment of reckoning, a time to review and reflect upon the consequences of one's past actions. The card offers redemption, transformation, and rebirth, but the path forward depends on truth and clarity. More often than not, the querent already knows the answer and simply seeks affirmation or courage to face it. Judgement serves as a culmination of experience before the final transition into completion.
