Despite the rather scary name, this card carries a positive meaning. The Major Arcana Tarot card The Last Judgment symbolizes global changes, getting rid of accumulated troubles, problems, and difficulties. In this article we will look at the description and meaning in relationships of an upright and inverted card, interpretation and combination with other cards in layouts for love, health, career and work.

If the Last Judgment falls in the scenario, expect changes in the near future in any area of ​​life.

Description of the map

The card depicts an angel with a trumpet who calls human souls to the Last Judgment. On the lasso we do not see the Judgment itself, but we see the moment a person turns to his new “I”, the emergence of something that has been hidden for a long time or carefully restrained. This is the resurrection of spirituality, awareness of the true meaning of life, the transition from darkness to light, the main step towards the formation of personality. This is insight, internal changes, following the dictates of the inner voice.

The card is associated with the holiday of Trinity. We see three people: a woman, a man and a child. The grave and coffin symbolize the place where the transformation of body into spirit occurs; in astrology this is considered the origins of man. At the everyday level, this is a house or clan, and at the spiritual level, it is origin, comprehension of customs and traditions, memory of past lives.

General meaning of the Last Judgment Tarot card

New beginnings await you, which are associated with liberation from a burdensome situation. Getting rid of bad thoughts, doubts, bitterness and suffering. Returning strength of mind, restoring health, attracting good luck, and creating a feeling of happiness. It is possible to receive good news that will resolve a difficult situation for the better.

The Tarot Judgment is a guide to action; in the reading, it indicates that the issue in question is really important, and it certainly needs to be resolved. The presence of this card indicates that the questioner has chosen the right path (no matter how much he doubts it) and all problems have already been practically solved.

The Tarot card Judgment means an irrevocable decision, a radical change in fate, and this decision is not subject to revision. In most cases, according to the Court, a person faces a difficult choice and it is important to decide to make his choice.

Many believe that the 20th Arcana means not so much future changes, but rather the fact that changes in a person have already occurred under the influence of external or internal factors, he has reached a new level, he only needs to realize and accept this. Moreover, these changes are dictated by the entire previous life, this is a natural stage of development and a consequence of certain actions. In essence, a person was reborn: someone with the old thinking in him died, and a new person with a changed thinking was born. We need to accept this fact and develop in a new direction.

The presence of the Court in the reading is a very strong sign, indicating sudden and uncontrollable changes by man. So, perhaps, some time ago a person did not imagine that his life would change its course so dramatically.

But the Last Judgment of the Tarot can also alert you in the case of a strong influence of Pluto in the horoscope. With a positive Pluto, the card can mean transformation. If negative, it is a test of strength, retribution for sins. If weak, unexpected events occur. But usually the card represents a more meaningful, longer-lasting experience. For people seeking solitude and tranquility, it portends a change in the principles of life.

If the Court comes up with negative cards, it indicates a loss. You will be given an invoice and will have to pay. In addition, if there is a Judgment Tarot card in the layout, the meaning may indicate that the answers to the questions you are interested in lie in the past.

When a card appears in a reading for a person who prayed the day before, repented or cried out to heaven, this may mean that his prayer is heard and accepted for consideration. This does not mean at all that the request will be immediately fulfilled, but as a result, the Court contributes to the best resolution of the situation and helps to strengthen faith.

Personal Description

Change of position, revival, unleashing of creative potential, making a dream come true. Awareness of oneself as an individual, self-improvement, broadening one’s horizons. A feeling of freedom, the awakening of hitherto unknown talents.

Positive features

Often a person discovers something new for himself, which leads to inevitable changes and transformation at the highest level. This is a change in life priorities, values, the emergence of a fundamentally new view of things, which is perceived as a call to action. The person is talented, he has unique abilities, varied interests and, most likely, has a specific calling in some field.

Development of mental abilities, especially with regard to memory activation. Perhaps events from long past years will emerge and even voices and faces, forgotten memories will appear. When the Moon and Nine of Swords appear next to the card, these are the worst memories from the past.

Questions from visitors and answers from experts:

On a deeper level

Last Judgment Tarot, the meaning of the card carries memories from past lives, revives long-forgotten feelings, thoughts, experiences. As a result, an analysis of the past occurs, an understanding of the meaning of life and one’s purpose, a transition from the attachments of the material world to spiritual realization.

Dormant feelings, ideas awaken, long-forgotten, seemingly forever lost experiences are remembered. Images that were lost for some time to the soul again become tempting and attractive. From the depths of the soul, the voice of calling sounds and resurrects what seems to be long dead.

On the path of rebirth there is powerful work with karma, analysis of past lives, understanding and acceptance of the experience of past incarnations, retribution for actions committed in the past. Judgment Tarot, the meaning of the card goes beyond the boundaries of the physical body, to an elevated level, not limited to just one life. In essence, this is working off karma, healing the soul as a result of repentance for past deeds. Here the main emphasis is not on punishment for sins, but on cleansing from sins, correction and putting on the right path.

The Last Judgment is a sign of the liberation of the spirit from attachment to matter, the awareness of the true “I”.

The card signifies courage, determination, resilience and the steadfastness of the human spirit. The court calls for rebirth, self-knowledge, and the implementation of tasks given to a person not for one life, but for a whole series of reincarnations. As a rule, a person does not know about his calling and does not remember the experiences of past lives. According to the Judgment, he seems to awaken and realize his true spiritual essence. Freeing oneself from attachments, a person achieves spiritual freedom, throwing off the shackles.

In astrology, the Judgment is associated with Pluto, which directs its destructive energy to creation, providing the opportunity to start with a clean slate. Powerful internal energy strengthens faith in one’s own strength, thereby bringing the realization of one’s thoughts closer.

This is a significant card that depicts the best outcome of events for people who have believed in something for a long time. She makes it clear that aspirations that have been unconsciously sitting in the head for a long time exist - and the Court will help you receive a reward for your faith. A good sign for aspiring people who believed in the reality of their goal, but did not have confirmation that this goal would ever be achieved. This faith came from the depths of the soul, and the Court confirms that this goal is real and feasible and the pursuit of it is priceless.

The court will generously reward for aspiration, faith and steadfastness. It’s as if higher powers are sending you an answer - you are on the right path, now you not only believe, but know for sure that everything will work out.

It is the reward for a person's actions to achieve what he believes in, despite internal contradictions, criticism from others and the possibility of adverse consequences. For those who have gone astray when faced with difficulties, the card becomes the Last Judgment.

A stage of internal development that personifies the direct study of the dictates of karma and karmic connections. Getting answers to questions brings one irresistibly closer to appearing before the Supreme Court. This is the moment to account for the use or non-use of the opportunities provided, and to analyze your actions on the way to achieving the goal.

Such an assessment can open your eyes to many things, broaden your horizons, and teach you to act differently. Awakening morality, appealing to conscience. The judgment shows spiritual rebirth, deliverance from past mistakes. Immense joy embraces those who have truly experienced repentance in life and then received forgiveness for their sins.

The meaning of the Last Judgment card in various layouts

For career and work

A trial may mean a transition from an old job to a new one, with a radical change in the type of activity. It is necessary to take responsibility for an important matter. Perhaps this is a return to old, unfinished matters in which significant changes have occurred.

If a person has responsibilities that do not allow him to develop, the Court in this case may mean release from them. Perhaps the person will soon experience development in the professional field and training. Or he will have to share his skills, innovative methods, and transfer his accumulated experience.

Changes for the better, the decision to open your own business, or change your field of activity, which will lead to a change in life for the better. Increasing income, unleashing creative potential, time for fruitful work, transition to a new, advanced level. If the Court appears with cards symbolizing success, this can mean the successful completion of any projects, promising fame and recognition.

For finances and property

In this regard, the Court can be interpreted in two ways. In conjunction with favorable cards, it means a radical change in the situation for the better. But often the Court may not show itself in the best aspect and mean leaving one’s place of residence as a result of litigation and auctions. It is possible to change the city of residence or even the country.

For love and relationships

Last Judgment Tarot meaning in relationships indicates big changes. You will be given the opportunity to atone for your sins, let go of old grievances, and achieve harmony in your relationships. Previously lost faith is restored and life takes on a new meaning. Long-forgotten feelings can flare up with renewed vigor, and you can surrender to them to the fullest.

A fresh breath of air in a relationship brings forgiveness of long-standing grievances. Old bleeding wounds heal, people who caused a lot of pain and anxiety receive forgiveness, awareness of their purpose occurs, and complex problems are solved. Everything that made life more difficult gradually fades away, and we manage to get out of a series of troubles.

For those who are currently single, the Court portends finding their other half, because according to this card, everything that was previously considered lost is found and takes on new meaning, and the sphere of personal relationships is no exception. A new life with corresponding adjacent cards can also mean a new addition to the family.

A call to free yourself from old attachments, open your eyes, wake up, release sleeping feelings, look at the situation with a fresh look. Court is a card that helps you make the right decision, as a result of which life will turn out wonderful. But to make the right decision, you need to pay attention to the accompanying Arcana.

In some cases, the Court calls for a complete reexamination of its views on personal relationships. It may be necessary to make a positive decision in favor of another person who is showing strong feelings. This is a sign that you need to reciprocate, but if the person passes by, it can end sadly.

For health status

The court may indicate complete healing and a significant improvement in well-being, filling with energy, recovery from a serious illness. Preventive procedures, health promotion courses, rejuvenation, stress relief, spa treatment. But there are cases with seriously ill people when the Court can report the most unfavorable outcome of the disease.

In the usual situation, the Court indicates health problems and poor health. It could be anything - heart problems, stomach problems, sudden attacks of headache, suffocating cough and even mental disorders. In such states there is a decline in vitality. An inverted card is a serious sign of an incurable disease, a hopeless situation that must be accepted.

The meaning of a reversed card

The Last Judgment Tarot reversed always means trouble. In matters of health, these are dangerous diseases, in finances these are huge losses, in personal relationships these are disagreements, ruptures, separation, in the housing aspect this is a forced change of place of residence. For creative people, an inverted card portends failure, lack of recognition, unfavorable messages, refusal to participate in a project.

In an inverted position, the Court indicates a person’s reluctance to develop, become better, or change their usual way of life. Inability to make an important decision. The call to action has been received, but the desire to act is absent. Delaying a decision promises losses and the emergence of insoluble problems.

In some cases, the inverted Last Judgment may suggest that the situation will not change in any way until a decision is made. If you don’t have the fortitude to make any decision, absolutely nothing happens in life and stagnation occurs. As punishment for this, a person exhibits such qualities as mental weakness, lack of energy, slowness, and slowdown in life processes.

In some cases, an inverted Court indicates that a person missed some opportunity presented. The card is also associated with mass events that have gotten out of control and conflicts.

Combined with other cards

How is the Last Judgment interpreted in combination with other cards:

• With the Jester - inspiration for new goals. Belief in your own strengths and in the final result.
• With the Magician - significant changes as a result of one’s own efforts;
• With the Empress - self-confidence, achieving harmony with others;
• With the Emperor there is a danger of losing your own opinion and falling under the influence of others;
• With Death - inevitable death;
• With the Eight of Wands - pangs of conscience;
• With the Three of Swords - the need to make a decision based on unpleasant facts;
• With the Six of Swords reversed - become a witness in a trial;
• With the Nine of Swords - remorse, guilt;
• With the Five of Cups - regret about what you have done, division of property;
• With the Seven or Eight of Pentacles - a life-changing decision;
• Before the inverted Ten of Pentacles - litigation due to gambling, loss of fortune, bankruptcy.

Tarot cards are a system of symbols, a deck of 78 cards, which, according to some sources, appeared in the 14th-16th centuries. Today it is used mainly for fortune telling, and the only card game using a full Tarot deck has survived. The symbols have a complex interpretation from the point of view of astrology, alchemy and the occult, so the Tarot is usually associated with “secret science” and is considered a mysterious thing.

Structure

The cards of the classic Tarot deck consist of two large groups:

1. The 22 cards are called "trump cards". They belong to the major arcana, each of which has a unique name and original image. In different versions of the Tarot deck, the names and order of the cards may differ.
2. The remaining 56 cards are divided into four suits - Cups, Swords, Wands and Denarii, and are called the minor arcana. Each suit contains 14 cards, each of which has its own name - Ace, Two, Three, and so on. The count ends at Ten, followed by the “court” or “figure” cards - Jack (Page), Horseman (Knight), King and Queen.

In the series of minor arcana, the position of the Ace is determined only by the accepted agreement - it can be placed either after the King (considered the highest of the court cards) or at the beginning of the sequence (considered the Unit of the proper suit). Today, fortune tellers using the Tarot deck more often use the first option.

Arcana

We will look at how to guess further, but now we will find out. It was the occultist Paul Christian (1863) from France who applied the term “arcana” (“sacraments”) to Tarot cards. Grigory Ottonovich Mobes most accurately described this deck: “Arcanum is a secret with the help of which a certain group of facts, principles or laws is learned. You cannot do without it when the need for this knowledge arises. This secret is accessible to a mind interested in the Tarot." In principle, all scientific laws that identify the area of ​​any application fit under this term.

The concepts of “major” (major, major, etc.) and “minor” (minor, minor, etc.) arcana were also introduced by Paul Christian. The names, drawings and assigned meanings of the arcana can differ radically in different Tarot decks. Occult schools have created various systems for listing the major arcana, their alphabetical, astrological and other “esoteric” correspondences. Adherents of isolated schools often argue about whose method is correct and traditional.

Major Arcana

What are the major (great) arcana? These are 22 trump cards, which in the classical version are called as follows: Jester (Fool), Priestess, Magician, Emperor, Empress, High Priest (Hierophant), Choice (Lovers), Justice (Justice), Chariot, Wheel of Fortune, Hermit, Hanged Man, Strength, Death, Devil, Temperance (Time), Tower, Moon, Star, Peace, Judgment (Last Judgment), Sun.

An unusual role in this group is played by the Fool card, sometimes called the Jester or the Madman. In card games with Tarot decks, it functions as a joker and is most often either designated by the number 0 or has no number at all. The placement of the Fool in the chain of major arcana is a significant moment for most who use the Tarot as a symbolic support.

The creators of such disciplines often stated that the main arcana of the Tarot originated in ancient times and contain ancient Indian, ancient Egyptian and other symbolisms. Historians studying this issue believe that playing cards were brought to Italy (the homeland of the Tarot) by Muslims from the East. They also think that these cards may be of ancient Chinese or Indian origin, and that Tarot trumps were not added to the Italian deck until the late 15th century.

Minor Arcana

The minor arcana are 56 cards, which are divided into four suits:

• swords;
• bowls, goblets;
• wands (scepters, sticks, staves);
• coins, discs (denarii, pentacles).

Each suit contains 14 cards. The first four are called “court cards” (“court cards”) or figured cards. They depict the following characters:

• king (knight, pharaoh);
• queen (sibyl, lady);
• prince (cavalier, horseman, knight);
• page (messenger, princess, jack).

The remaining ten have values ​​from 1 point to 10 and are called points. Cards that have one point are called aces.

The suits of the minor arcana coincide with the suits of European playing cards: Wands (Staves, Scepters, etc.) are identical to clubs, Cups (Bowls) are identical to hearts, Swords are identical to spades, Coins (Denarii, Circles, Pentacles, etc.) are identical to diamonds. This is the most popular matching system, although there are other options.

Souda Map

The Last Judgment (Tarot) is the XX major arcana of the deck. Let's consider the main meaning of this card in its upright position. although it has a rather formidable name, it does not carry the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bretribution or punishment. Here we are talking about transformation, the discovery of new abilities in the individual, the restoration of a person after a difficult stage, freeing him from something very constraining, boring, annoying.

Tarot card The Court draws attention to bold steps on our part - persistent and drastic. It also reports on the effectiveness and efficiency of such steps. Naturally, similar events are usually accompanied by painful sensations, emotions, and sometimes doubts and fears. However, you should always remember that everything negative is temporary, transitory, and a satisfactory outcome will be long-term and stable.

What else is interesting about the Judgment (Tarot) card? Its combination with other arcana arouses curiosity among many. For example, the combination of the Court and the Priestess means the manifestation of magical talents, the Chariot and the Court - the achievement of the desired victory. The combination of Judgment and Death speaks of a decisive step that needs to be taken in order to let go of what has ceased to have significance and meaning, to which, for some reason, the individual has stubbornly held on until now.

Inverted Court

Let's consider what meaning the Court (Tarot) has in an inverted position. In this case, this lasso indicates a person’s resistance to change, excessive caution, which only slows down the process, and health problems that prevent him from reaching his goal and taking action. This is a certain destructive moment of our desires, something that makes us mark time or pulls us back.

The reason for such actions is a person’s hope for fortune or his downplaying of the seriousness of obstacles. You should always pay attention in the layout to the neighboring lassos placed near the inverted Judgment, since they add a lot to its general interpretation. For example, with the Hermit, the inverted Court signals an overestimation of one’s capabilities, and with the Hierophant it symbolizes another loss of enthusiasm.

Relationships and love (direct position of the Court)

What can you find out using a Tarot deck? The court characterizes relationships and love in an upright position in a very unique way. For the sphere of personal connections, the card always predicts finding a partner if the person was single before that time. Arkan also speaks of a new level of relationships that will appear in an already established union of people (this situation is typical for lovers). The court in this case points to internal changes that have occurred, which are the reason for overcoming current difficulties. Outwardly, they can express themselves with a sense of transparency of the matter, with insight.

The Arcanum shows that resolved issues that remained in the past have been revised, since they have been worked out and lessons have been learned from them.

Love spreads (inverted Judgment)

What is the significance of the Court (Tarot) in love readings in an inverted position? In this case, the card usually confirms that the person is suffering from remorse and repents of something. As a result, such an assessment of the situation creates obstacles for him in relationships with loved ones.

In some situations, the reversed Judgment can be interpreted as a short-term separation. The meaning of the lasso is enhanced if in the layout there is the Devil near it (then the Judgment is interpreted as a persistent evasion of change) or the Hanged Man (thorough repentance).

Career (direct position of the Court)

What is the significance of the Court (Tarot) in upright career readings? If during this type of fortune telling the Court card appears, it means that professional activity is expected to revive. This option also conveys that monotonous workdays are about to become (or have already become) a thing of the past. In this case, a person can hope for significant changes in his career, that his business (project, endeavors) will eventually reach a turning point.

In fortune telling for a future new job, this lasso confidently confirms that it will be found, that this new place is worth moving to, since it will turn out to be much more promising and interesting than the previous one. If everything is stable in the professional sphere, then the Court indicates getting rid of some long-standing problem, from an unnecessary and boring duty, and the like.

Together with the Sun, the Judgment in the scenario is interpreted as the arrival of fame, and with the Magician - as an improvement in professional skills. If the Court is located near Justice, this is explained as the ability to objectively and sensibly evaluate complicated situations.

Career (Court position reversed)

Judgment reversed in career readings is usually interpreted as significant problems, the forcing of which can lead a person to the best stage of his career. However, you need to realize that obstacles can be not only external (procrastination), but also expressed in an internal feeling of regret and pessimistic judgments.

What is the significance of the Court (Tarot) if it is placed near the Emperor? In this case, the card is explained as the obstacles that a person will encounter as he unfolds his plan. If the Three of Wands appears near the Court, then the person will have a useful, albeit martyrdom, experience.

In fact, the Court predicts that events are coming, changes cannot be avoided. And it will be better if a person accepts it. Because then he will be able to go in the right direction slowly and confidently, solving problems, overcoming obstacles and paying attention to what is significant.

General attitude towards fortune telling

Many people are interested in the question: “How to guess?” It is known that this art is based on the judgment that a randomly selected Tarot card (or several cards) contains a symbolic answer to a question that was asked verbally or mentally before it was drawn from the deck.

Many tarot readers today claim that divination actually cannot provide the questioner with any reliable information (telephone or account number, number of items, amount of money, etc.) or answer specific questions. They say that fortune telling also cannot answer a question that requires an equivalent answer of “yes” or “no.”

And yet it is believed that the Tarot deck can predict the course of events, explain the veiled motives of people’s actions and the causes of phenomena, and foreshadow in general outline the results of efforts in one direction or another. By the way, tarot readers warn that repeated fortune telling on the same topic within a short period of time will not be reliable.

Fortune telling session

What is “Three Cards” Tarot fortune telling? This is one of the most reliable and simplest ways to find out what is happening now or will happen in the near future with the questioner. Even inexperienced fortune tellers can use this method. This arrangement can be performed many times, but it is still recommended to observe the measure.

In general, in simple cases, divination comes down to constructing a query, removing the first card from the deck and commenting on it in accordance with the given query. However, this method is inconvenient, since the interpretation of a single card very often turns out to be either contradictory or irrelevant to the issue.

This option also includes the “Three Cards” Tarot divination. The fortuneteller, wanting to get a more detailed and expanded answer, uses groups of cards chosen involuntarily. He places them on the table in a certain order - he performs the layout. Each layout has its own target group of tasks that it is designed to solve (“partnership relations”, “general state of affairs”, “work”, “love”, “self-knowledge”, “relationships with others”, and so on). As a result, a card that fell in a specific position of the layout is no longer given a general, but a significantly narrower explanation.

Tarot card Judgment is the Arcana of change. It’s hard to say whether this card is a harbinger of good or bad changes. Among tarot readers, disputes have not subsided for many years. What changes await a person?

The “Court” card is uncertainty about your future

After all, even the name itself, the Court, means uncertainty about its future. And a person’s choice of the right path depends not on himself, but on those people who pass their verdict.

General meaning of the Judgment card in Tarot

The Last Judgment in the Tarot is one of the most controversial cards.

Her interpretation turned the heads of many tarot readers. But, over time, two main theories emerged. One talks about positive changes in life, the other talks about negative ones. Adherents of the positive claim that Judgment in the Tarot:

• this is getting rid of problems;
• resolution of troubles;
• neutralization of difficulties in life.

This card is:

• revival;
• transition from black to white stripe;
• a new beginning in life.

Nuances of map interpretation

In more detail, this aspect of interpretation determines the very possibility of correcting one’s mistakes. There's not a minute to lose. The effect of “Court” is short-lived. This is the main disadvantage of this card. A person simply may not have time to correct his mistakes and seize his chance.

Everything in this World is connected by a thin invisible ribbon of Magic. And if you imagine: body, soul, character, fate and the influence of higher powers as a single whole, then you can come to one judgment. As long as all this is holistic, we live and develop. But as soon as one element breaks down, does not act, everything stops. Also in Magic. If a person does not act and is lazy, a favorable solution to problems will bypass him. The Last Judgment Tarot is proof of this.

Card "Court" - the need to make a decision

But there is also a basic interpretation that is typical of the traditional Tarot. As a general rule, the meaning of the card characterizes the making of a decision that cannot be changed or appealed. And life poses such a situation as a crossroads. And a person can choose only one path.

If the card is upside down

The meaning of a Tarot card in an inverted position does not bode well for a person. This Tarot Arcana is a negative card. This may concern different areas of a person’s life - his financial situation, relationships with loved ones, or his career situation.

Often the appearance of this 20th Major Arcana of the Tarot indicates a solution to the housing issue. A person may have the opportunity to change his place of residence. It is possible that he may even lose it completely. Therefore, it is better not to take risks and do it yourself before problems overtake a person by surprise.

In creative endeavors, such a card will also not bring anything good. A kind of stupor, “stomping around in one place” - all this awaits the individual. 20 Arcanum “Judgment” does not apply to cards that speak of the inevitability of one or another result. Everything is in the power of the person himself. But the question of time is always important. And it may not be enough.

What does the illustration of “Judgment” say?

The drawing that is depicted on the “Court” card has a lot in common with its interpretation. This is true of most Tarot cards. And so, at the top of the illustration is an Angel. He looks from heaven to earth and watches people. In his hands is a pipe. He plays it. The whole divine picture turns into darkness if you look at the lower image of people. They stand frozen in horror at what is happening. Open coffins lie at their feet. Dead people have awakened from eternal sleep.

The illustration of the card “Judgment” says - everything has its time

The depiction of the “Court” may be different. First of all, this is due to the number of people in the picture. In modern decks, there are from three to six. Sometimes they hold hands or reach towards the sky. All this corresponds to a certain symbolism. So, the time for judgment has come. Everything has its time. And even death did not save people from justice. All the deeds they performed during their lifetime, good or bad, must be answered. The calling to get what one deserves finds everyone.

And all the emotions that are frozen on the faces of the dead fully convey the picture of what is happening. People are waiting. They don't know their sentence. Are these not an allegory of awakening?

What does “Judgment” portend for love relationships?

Tarot card 20 “Judgment” can be useful in relationships. And this is often associated with the opportunities that open up for the fortuneteller. The Last Judgment Tarot allows you to:

• analyze the importance of a person in your own life;
• find out if love is strong;
• find out about your other half’s desire to create a future together.

All these concepts are rather vague, but the importance of such issues is undeniable. Any problems and adversities can turn love into enmity. And the other half will turn into its opposite. A person may even experience hatred.

If “Judgment” appears in your Tarot readings, there is no need to worry. The main thing is to analyze everything correctly. And with a little effort, you can achieve the desired result. What is destined by fate will definitely come true. If somewhere in heaven, someone decided that two people must be together, then so be it.

Combinations and neighborhood characteristics

Judgment in combination with other Tarot cards may indicate some problems between lovers. So, if “Death” is nearby, then a series of problems hang over the couple that they cannot cope with. Usually, such matters are resolved simply. A visit to a family psychologist will determine the causes of all misunderstandings and problems. And love will triumph again.

Interpretation about health

Arcanum number 20 can affect health in different ways. It all depends on whether the cards accompany “Judgment” in the layout are good or bad. If there are positive Arcana nearby, then it portends:

• improved health;
• a surge of positive energy;
• rapid recovery after serious illnesses or operations;
• relieving psychological stress and stress;
• getting rid of depression.

“Trial” may mean that you are awaiting medical procedures

The Twentieth Arcanum “Judgment” can also mean medical procedures.

A person may have the opportunity to travel to a sanatorium or holiday home. Everything that can affect the improvement of health will definitely happen. Unless, of course, the person himself aggravates his condition.

But with negative cards, a person expects a different result. Judgment, under such conditions, will mean the exit of the soul from the body, but not physical death. The person is expected to experience:

• loss of consciousness;
• being under anesthesia;
• resuscitation;
• clinical death.

The 20th Tarot card can be decisive for health. When the balance is made specifically on well-being and illness, “Court” can play a decisive role. After all, its appearance is a harbinger of a serious and incurable illness. And its apogee is death. It is unlikely to be avoided. All efforts can only bring closer or delay the inevitable. Death is an end that cannot be avoided.

Work trial

Each person has their own attitude towards a career. But everyone has one thing in common - the desire to develop and climb the career ladder. But what to do if “Judgment” appears in the scenario?

Don't worry ahead of time. Drastic changes rarely involve anything negative. There is no risk of dismissal or demotion. A person who has been dealt a judgment simply needs to mind his own business. The main thing is that it brings pleasure. Creative individuals have a greater chance of realizing themselves.

Tarot readers call the “Judgment” card a career card.

Tarot readers call the court a career card. It is this Arcanum that indicates a person’s ability to develop in this particular field. It is possible that the talent of such a person will be appreciated even abroad. And even if a person has not yet decided on the exact place of his work or is experiencing difficulties in this matter, any business that is interesting to a person will bring success.

But if the Arcanum is reversed, the best changes can happen in your work. Even “chronic bad luck” may develop. But in combination with some Arcana, everything can turn into simple everyday problems and trials.

So, if the Devil is near the Court, a person can expect problems with his superiors for poor or substandard work or attitude towards it. And if the Arcanum is combined with the Tower, then the problem completely develops into a housing problem. Because of work, a person will need to change his place of residence, move to another city or country.

"Judgment" and other Major Arcana

The combination of Judgment with other Arcana allows you to obtain more information about a particular event, or internal experiences that will need to be experienced in the future. Here are some examples of such combinations:

1. Jester - favorable impressions from a trip or journey.
2. High Priestess - all secrets will be revealed soon.
3. Wheel of Fortune - positive changes will occur.
4. Hanged Man - heavy losses and problems that will be deserved.
5. The Empress is the birth of a new life.
6. Tower - someone is trying to ruin life and create problems.

20 lasso “Judgment” is a harbinger of change. And these will definitely happen if a person contributes even a little to it. An in-depth analysis of the situation will also help identify the ill-wisher (if there is one). Man is the creator of his own life. And the future is determined by which vector he chooses himself. And the cards only show the situation “one step forward.”

The inner meaning of the "Judgment" of the Tarot

Hope dies last. And it is hope that appears before a person in the form of a chance to correct his mistakes or choose the right path. There is little time for this. You need to hurry, otherwise you won’t even have to hope for anything better in life. In "Judgment" there is something similar to "Death".

These two Arcana symbolize a new era. The beginning of change may even be associated with spiritual development. There are no clear boundaries of human consciousness. And new secrets may be revealed to him that will make his personality special.

The Tarot Arcana of the Last Judgment indicates changes that will occur in the near future, a new stage in life, liberation from life's hardships. However, the interpretations of this arcana vary depending on the direction of fortune telling. The meaning of the Judgment Tarot card in relationships and love is interesting.

General meaning of the card

The interpretation of the Tarot arcana, the Last Judgment, is associated with Human karma.

The Last Judgment is the 20th major arcana of the Tarot. It contains the following concepts:

• liberation;
• salvation from torment and anxiety;
• revival;
• change, life improvement;
• imprisonment and trial;
• karma.

The meanings of the card can be both positive and negative. Its appearance in a reading may mean losing a lawsuit or failures in life. The main essence of the lasso is already contained in its name. Adjustments may be made to the overall meaning of the arcana, which depends on the Tarot cards that appear in one layout.

The map shows mountains with snow on their tops. It symbolizes cold feelings or relationships. In some cases, the appearance of the lasso is associated with death.

Straight position

Usually the lasso in the upright position indicates that dramatic changes will soon come in life. It is a symbol of liberation from beliefs, opinions of others and reports positive changes in life.

The dead risen from their graves, depicted on the card, mean a return to the past way of life. Sometimes this lasso foreshadows atonement for sins, retribution, punishment for past mistakes or sins of a past life. This is the essence of karma.

Inverted position

In an inverted position, this lasso symbolizes weakness, indecision, simplicity, limitation and accusation. All its meanings are unfavorable. He prophesies failures on the path of life, lost time and opportunities, an unhappy life. Often an inverted lasso speaks of bad karma, severe anxiety and conflict situations.

Sometimes this symbol gives a person advice, which is the need to quickly change his place of residence. It has a negative meaning for creative individuals. Its appearance in the scenario indicates that a negative opinion will be formed about the person, and it will not be possible to implement the plans. Another interpretation is stagnation, obstacles on the way to the goal. The person is not ready to act and does not want change.

Meaning in relationships

The Last Judgment Tarot meaning in relationships and love is positive for both those with a partner and single people. The Arcanum indicates that a person has the opportunity to understand his beloved and his significance in his life. This means that a person who has known love is able to change radically.

The appearance of the Court card in a reading for relationships and love predicts a meeting with your chosen one. If other positive cards appear, then this lasso indicates not only a happy marriage or a strong love relationship, but also the receipt of an inheritance. If negative arcana appear, then difficulties in relationships should be expected. For a fortune-telling woman, this combination indicates her touchiness.

Direct lasso in relationships

The Last Judgment Tarot has different meanings in relationships and love, which can change depending on the position in the chart.

In the upright position, the 20th lasso foreshadows the revival of faded feelings, a feeling of independence, inspiration. A person will look at his lover, at himself and at the joint relationship in a new way, he will receive insight, and radically change his principles and ideals.

Sometimes this lasso promises a serious step, after taking which a person will not be able to live his former life. This step could be marriage or a breakup due to lack of confidence in a future together. The symbol also speaks of good relationships that arose on the basis of karma.

Reversed lasso in relationships

A reversed Judgment card in the Tarot for relationships and love means a missed opportunity to be happy. This will probably be caused by a bad decision. Often the 20th lasso indicates that a person is rapidly changing his existing way of life.

This sign also speaks of karmic relationships. Inverted, it promises torment, an unpleasant experience. This is due to retribution for the sins of a past life.
