Judgement
Number 20, Judgement Card.
Here in this card we see a Pixie rising from the dead, in response to the trumpet call from the clouds. Their arm reaching for the sky symbolizes that they are ready to be judged by the universe. They are ready to have their actions evaluated to find out where they will spend the rest of eternity.
The tidal wave in the background shows us that the judgement is unavoidable and that this judgement is final.
It is through self-reflection that we can have a clearer understanding of where we are in our lives and what we can do in order to grow and better ones self. Judgement tells us that you are getting closer to a significant point in your life.
This card can also show us that you have been doing a lot of self-reflection and evaluating. You are on the path of awakening. You have a clearer idea of what you may need to change in order to become your true self and have all your needs met.
May it be small changes in your daily life, or making a large change that might also affect those around you. Whatever it is, know that it is the right choice for you at this time.

Card in Reverse:
Judgement in reverse can mean that you may be judging yourself too harshly, or that you are overcome with self-doubt. You may be missing some good opportunities that have presented themselves, but you didn't go through with them due to your lack in self-confidence. It's possible that you're feeling like you've fallen behind on your plans, which can make it feel extremely difficult to take steps forward.
The Judgement card can also suggest a lack of self-awareness. You may not be giving yourself time to reflect and take in all of life's precious lessons. In order to grow in life, we must see the meaning behind all things.
You might also be too critical of yourself and past actions. Perhaps you're having trouble with forgiving yourself, or even someone else, in order to move forward in your life. It's okay, we all make mistakes. Mistakes are life lessons and we need them to grow. If none of us made mistakes, we wouldn't learn anything.
Try not to focus on past mistakes, people are too wrapped up with themselves and their own lives to care about your mistakes. They're most likely thinking about their own. Try journaling and meditating on forgiving yourself, or those who have wronged you.
