20. Judgement

“In the grand play called life, no one is born out of nothing.”

Vision

The soul of a young woman travels down the River Styx in a small boat, navigating the liminal space between life and death. Alongside other souls, she reflects on her short life: what has she learned and accomplished? What remain unsolved? This is her last chance to reminisce her existence.

Message

This card is often associated with fate, a bittersweet concept that underscores the timeless nature of karma. I believe in the immortality of the soul. When I die, I will reunite with important people who will take me back. I also believe that each lifetime has its own calling. Eventually, I will fully understand it from an overarching perspective. The choices I’ve made seemingly inadvertently will reveal their interconnectedness, so will the wondrously profound and nuanced ways the universe’s laws manifest in me. While the whole picture of this life remains ambiguous, Judgement signals a critical point, offering me a glimpse into the enigma of the soul.
