JUDGEMENT
Description
Like many
images in the Tarot, this is an image that has it's origins in the bible.
This is the image of Judgement Day, where the dead rise from their graves
and the Angel trumpets the end times.
This is
an interesting image in the deck and although it is an image that appears
to be somewhat negative in nature with the rising corpses and such, it
is a card that does not have a negative meaning entirely. The corpses
are floating in their coffins on the water and they have their arms up
in readiness to hear the call from the Angel.
The mountains
are high in the background and the suggestion here is that things cannot
continue as they have been from much longer. It is very much a depiction
of the 'end of the world' as such, or rather, the end of a certain way
of life.
Divinatory
Meaning
I usually
read this card very simply when I see it in a reading. For me it
denotes that the situation will be solved regardless of what the person
does or doesn't do. This card suggests to me in a reading to mean
'divine intervention', where the person will be at the mercy of the universe
as to how a situation will turn out. Often this is a good card to
see as it means that there will be change, and that the situation will
work out for the best. Either way, to see this card means that it
will be fate that comes into play and that the outcome is out of their
hands.
