Symbolism of the lasso

Other names for the Judgment card are Rebirth, Return, Supreme Court, Resurrection from the Dead, Judgment. AT classic decks Tarot on the lasso depicts three people - a man, a woman and a child. They represent three principles: active, passive and material world. One of the central places on the map is occupied by the image of a winged Angel blowing a trumpet. With the help of his horn, he proclaims God's will, pronounces judgment.

In the Rider-Waite deck, people rise from the tombs:

The resurrection from the graves symbolizes the resurrection to a new life, spiritual renewal. The angel personifies a call for activity, a reassessment of former values.

In the 78 Doors Tarot, people are not depicted as rising from coffins, but as the next to heaven or hell:

This means that everything in the life of the questioner must fall into place. He will understand what psychological attitudes do not correspond with reality and what his actions lead to constant difficulties. It will also become clear which principles are viable, leading to success.

The image of the Arcana in the deck of Thoth is radically different. In the central part of the map, one can see the dark blue body of the goddess Nun, bent in the form of an arch, spreading the night over the earth. During the day it is consumed by the Sun. It is represented by the god Kadit, a burning ball with wings. The union of Nun and Kadita gives rise to a child - Horus.

General value

The Court card in any situation and in any scenario portends cardinal changes. It always points to moral transformations in the questioner himself. If a Judgment card is drawn, no transformations into material world impossible without inner change of a person.

Upright

Judgment indicates passing stages in the life of the questioner. Changes are a natural continuation of the events of the past, and not a sudden destruction (as happens when the Tower arcana falls out). Man has to accept important decision which will open a new page in his life.

The court symbolizes the beginning of a new business, the improvement of the situation, the establishment of relations. Sometimes a card means a situation where, after a long stagnation, things begin to move forward. The questioner is waiting for a well-deserved reward, an increase in wages, a long-awaited rest after a long and hard work. The past has been rethought, all important lessons have been learned, the goal has been achieved.

Upside down

AT reverse position The court points to delays in resolving the situation. The map emphasizes that the causes of stagnation lie solely in the questioner himself. The lack of forward movement is associated with the unwillingness of the questioner to take active actions, its inertia. A person leaves his business or runs away, as the situation is dangerous for his established habits and attitudes. As a result, a situation arises when in the future the questioner will regret the missed opportunities more than once.

The Reversed Judgment says that change cannot be avoided. Therefore, you can not delay the decision.

This is an unfavorable sign, serious illnesses, divorce, serious financial losses are possible. For creative individuals, the card portends difficulties with the implementation of the project, a damaged reputation, unwanted media interference. The lasso may indicate riots that are difficult to control. In rare cases, the Court says that the questioner was not invited to an important event.

Personality characteristic

The twentieth lasso means a person who loves change and strives for it. Such a person cannot sit in one place for a long time. He is ready to change internally and transform the reality around him. If this is not possible, then he will be quite pleased with the rearrangement of furniture.

Such people are usually creative, proactive. These qualities of theirs are manifested in any business for which they undertake. They have a high level of intelligence. The Man of the Court rarely engages in aimless soul-searching. He prefers deep introspection, which leads to continuous improvement.

In the reverse position, the Court indicates a person who is stuck in a comfort zone and does not want to leave the familiar environment. He is prone to self-digging, which does not lead to positive changes, but only further moves him away from the goal. Such a person often feels guilty, feels sorry for himself.

An inverted Judgment often means an old-fashioned person who does not want to change anything in his life. Repairs in his apartment were made many years ago, and getting used to any thing in the wardrobe, he will wear it even though he looks shabby. Such people perceive everything new in their life extremely painfully. Change always seems unfair to them.

In the layouts of love and relationships

The court promises big changes in the love sphere. Usually the card gives a chance to atone for the guilt of the past, to make amends for the mistakes made, to restore harmony in the couple. Existing relationships are restored and updated. Old grudges are forgiven. Those contradictions that burdened the life of the questioner are smoothed out. For lonely people, the Court portends an acquaintance with a soul mate.

The love that seemed long lost will be resurrected again. It makes sense for the questioner to respond to this call, since a second chance is unlikely to be presented.

In rare cases, the Court may portend serious changes in personal life that will prove to be a difficult test for a person. Example: there are deep feelings and dedication on the part of the partner, which must be answered by responding to the proposal of the hand and heart. But the questioner feels this as a duty that is difficult for him to fulfill due to external circumstances. There is a call to action. If the questioner does not obey him, then the consequences will be the most destructive - up to complete loneliness and health problems.

On the other hand, the Court says that love relationship became a real swamp. There may not be conflicts in a couple, but living together does not bring happiness or pleasure. If the partners still live together, it is only because of the absence of any alternatives.

For bachelors, an inverted lasso speaks of the impossibility of finding a worthy partner. The reason lies in the peculiarities of the questioner's lifestyle, which he does not want to change. It is worth showing a little activity, and he will have every chance of finding a soul mate.

Work and career

In divination for work, the Court also speaks of major changes. The cards lying next to them will tell you exactly what they will be. Negative Arcana usually promise negative changes: dismissal, business collapse, business closure, failed deal. It is worth noting that the Judgment card marks those changes that are perceived by the questioner not from a negative point of view, but as a release from a heavy burden. This happens for the reason that a person's worldview has long begun to transform, preparing him for subsequent changes.

If the Court is adjacent positive cards, this indicates the favorable nature of the changes: career growth, a good deal, a joint business project, a stable financial position.

The meaning of the Court card in the reverse position is the lack of prospects. With this lasso, it is undesirable to start a new business, change the work team, or try to reach a different level of doing business. Nearby negative cards of the Major Arcana indicate a critical condition. If the questioner does not change his attitude to the situation, serious losses await him, up to the loss of a job or business.

In matters of personal growth

If the question was about self-development, the lasso of the Court indicates the need to reassess one's past. It is the events of bygone days that do not allow the questioner to move forward. He needs to rethink his previous experience, forgive himself for his mistakes, and also try to forgive the people around him. This will allow you to enter a new life stage.

In the opposite position, the Court says that the questioner cannot cope with the events that occur in his life. He does not understand what is the reason for what is happening, and is looking for the guilty among the environment. This makes the situation even more confusing. His attitude to his own actions is uncritical. He tries to put the responsibility on others.

To overcome this situation and move on, a person must reevaluate his thoughts, actions, attitude towards people around him. Then you need to realize that no one else but him is to blame for what is happening. This direction will allow you to turn the lasso into a straight position and open wide horizons for personal growth.

Health

With regard to health, here the card manifests itself in a dual way. On the one hand, the Judgment means a surge of vitality, recovery after a serious illness. A person relieves physical and psychological stress. The card may indicate health-improving activities, a course of treatment, and rest in a sanatorium. On the other hand, if a seriously ill person is in intensive care, the lasso indicates a fatal outcome.

As a significator of the disease, the Court speaks of severe allergic reactions, intestinal colic, disturbances in the work of the heart, and an asthma attack. In the reverse position, the card portends an incurable disease. The situation is practically hopeless.

Map of the day

Judgment portends an auspicious day, full of good opportunities for self-realization. Today, the questioner can rightly feel happy. It is useful to do things for which there was never enough time before.

On this day, the chances of resolving old problems and recent difficulties are high. If the questioner has a situation in life that seems insoluble, today there is every chance to find a way out. The card advises in no case to remain in a passive state or indulge in laziness. If this is done, there is a risk of missing out on a lot of great opportunities. When such moments arise, you should immediately get down to business.

Combined with other cards

Other cards in the layout will tell you exactly what changes await the questioner. The major arcana in combination with the Court speak of global life changes: in worldview, relationships with other people and the outside world. Judgment with the minor arcana indicates changes in Everyday life.

With Major Arcana

In combination with the major arcana, the Judgment indicates the outcome of those events that are symbolized by the neighboring arcana. Example: in combination with the Wheel of Fortune, Judgment speaks of major life changes that will occur on a trip. This journey in fact will be fateful for the questioner.

In combination with heavy cards, the Court speaks of a way out of a difficult life situation. It is about accepting negative circumstances by the questioner, realizing their root cause and getting a chance for redemption.

With minor arcana

Wands next to the Judgment card indicate changes in the social plan, the transformation of business relations. These changes were preceded by a revision of the questioner's own personal qualities and the principles on which he built the communication process. In combination with the suit of Wands, the Judgment has the following interpretations:

If Chalices lie next to the Court, changes in the life of the questioner are associated with his emotional state. With the suit of Cups, Judgment means:

Ace - open up to another person; revive relationships.
Two - to compromise.
Troika - internal renewal.
Four - a painful feeling of guilt; lack of new opportunities.

If the Court is adjacent to the cards of the suit of Swords, this indicates serious changes associated with the worldview system. Changes are preceded by great upheavals, events that are accompanied by emotional experiences. Often this is parting, termination of business relations, death. Interpretation of combinations of Judgment with the suit of Swords:

Next to the suit of Pentacles, we are talking about changes in the material sphere. Before that, the questioner realized the fallacy of his attitude towards money. Such changes are so important for the questioner that he can even receive a significant gift from fate, for example, to win a large sum in the lottery (a combination of the Judgment and the Ace of Pentacles).

The meaning of combinations of the Judgment card with the suit of Pentacles:

Ace is a good start; big win.
Two - to be in a state of confusion.
Troika - new horizons open up.
Four - to work on laying the foundation for the future.

Nine - favorable changes in the field of finance.
Ten - receiving a rich inheritance.
Page - to see new opportunities for promoting a business project.
Knight - events happen slowly.
Queen - get financial support.
King - career; well-deserved cash prize.

The card gives advice: to plunge into the past, find the reasons for what is happening now, make efforts to transform your present and future. This will allow life changes to occur that will be positive.

The story of one of our readers Alina R.:

Money has always been my main concern. Because of this, I had a lot of complexes. I considered myself a failure, problems at work and in my personal life haunted me. However, I decided that I still needed personal help. Sometimes it seems that the matter is in yourself, all failures are just a consequence bad energy, the evil eye, or some other evil force.

But who will help in a difficult life situation, when it seems that the whole life is going downhill and passing by you. It is difficult to be happy working as a cashier for 26 thousand rubles, when you had to pay 11 for renting an apartment. Imagine my surprise when my whole life suddenly changed overnight for the better. I could not even imagine that it is possible to earn so much money that some kind of trinket at first glance could have such an impact.

It all started when I ordered a personal...

Judgment always means change.
It may be a new way of looking at what is happening, or a new approach to the action being taken, or a complete change in the environment, for example, a transfer to another school.
Archangel Gabriel blows his trumpet and calls out to all who can hear.

The mountains in the background mean eternal truth, and the coffins from which people come out symbolize their past.
The people in the foreground do not have faces - this is a hint that their knowledge is too imperfect and incomplete, and they have much more to experience and learn.

It is time for them to leave the past behind and create their future, either by changing their perspective on life or by changing life itself in some way.
The card speaks of new opportunities that life provides.

It involves taking care of health, turning to new trends and opportunities, accepting the challenge of life.
The appearance of this card in divination means that no matter the nature of the problem you are facing, you will cope with it - if you seriously intend to work on it.

Successful people in life are not successful because they don't have problems.
They are successful because they are aware of their problems and know how to deal with them.

Divination in half a minute

Trisha felt that the literature teacher was picking on her.

Once she could not stand it, swore and ran away from the classroom right in the middle of the lesson.
She knew that the next day at school she would be in big trouble.
When divining, the Judgment card fell out.
She said that the girl really did not behave in the best way and should come to terms with the consequences.

As long as she feels that the teacher treats her differently than the rest of the students, the situation will repeat itself again and again - not necessarily exactly the same, but just as ugly.
It is very important that Trisha talk to that same teacher about her feelings.

His point of view on his own behavior must also be taken into account.

Nude figures are freed and ready for spiritual rebirth and new life.
The angel is often identified with the archangel Michael, the leader of the forces of light in the heavenly war against the forces of darkness.
Reward.
Summarizing.

New stage of life.
This card often depicts a figure resurrecting the dead.
It reflects the fact that ultimately we will all be held accountable for our actions on the Day of Judgment.
Judgment indicates the completion of the karmic cycle, as well as the fact that all our actions have both positive and negative consequences.

Depending on the choices we make in any given situation, we either reap the rewards of our labor and congratulate ourselves on our well-deserved success, or learn a harsh lesson for the future.

Symbolism

According to the law of karma, after death we all will be responsible for our earthly affairs.

This card symbolizes the reward and punishment that awaits us, depending on the true cost of our deeds.
The meaning of this card is expressed in the proverb "As you sow, so shall you reap", it also reflects the need for an honest and sincere assessment of oneself and one's actions.

When we come to the end of one life stage, we automatically begin a new one, but before that we need to evaluate the consequences of our previous actions, as well as the situation in which we are currently.

Sometimes we are delighted with our achievements and have a reason to celebrate.
At other times, we are faced with our own mistakes and cases of self-deception, then we have to deal with resolving our internal conflicts.

Our life depends not only on fate, but also on the decisions that we make.
Judgment teaches us that we are all ultimately responsible for our own deeds, and the more consciously we make our choices, the more responsible we are for our own destiny.

Interpretation

This card tells you that it is time to stop and reflect on how far you have come and what you have achieved.
You have an opportunity to take stock of your past and start life from scratch.

The time has come to either admit your mistakes and come to terms with your own conscience, or reward yourself for past merits.
The judgment heralds the beginning of a period of consolidation and the importance of recognizing certain life realities.

It's time to harvest and make a new contract with your life.
This is the time to let go of the thoughts and patterns that bind you, when you are ready to develop and expand your consciousness and aspire to a better future with joyful anticipation.

Description

This card depicts a winged angel, possibly the archangel Gabriel, playing a trumpet from which hangs a flag with a cross inscribed on it.
Below, a naked figure rises from the grave, and on both sides of it, a naked man and woman stand with their hands clenched.

These figures speak of the negative and positive in life, the movement of the past towards the inevitable higher judgment, and the evaluation of one's own efforts and achievements.
This card means not only rebirth and awakening anew, but also calls for the redemption of what was in the past and is in the present, and also warns of what may lie ahead.

The coffin may contain past sins, which are now brought to the attention and judgment of others.
We must live with our sins, and one day we will have to answer for them.
The rising figures symbolize the liberation from the shroud of the past.

The deeper our feelings, the greater our redemption.
The stronger our sadness, the more we appreciate joy.

Value for divination

The need to repent and forgive.

A moment of account for how we used our opportunities.

Judgment symbolizes the end of your old life and the beginning of a new one.
The Last Judgment (Judgement, or The Last Judgment) corresponds to the number twenty and the Hebrew letter resh.

Allegory

Final decision.
The beginning of a new life, result, outcome, conclusion.
End of your doubts; answers to your questions.

Description

At the top of the card, a divine figure, usually represented by a winged angel, looks out from the clouds and blows a trumpet.

Below - naked human figures rise from coffins or from the ground; their faces express surprise and awe.
The number of human figures on the map can vary from three to six.
Among them may be men, women, sometimes children.

In some decks, people have gathered in a circle and their hands are clasped together.
In other decks, people's hands reach out to the angel; combinations of those and other positions are possible.
Apart from this slight variation, most of the decks on this card have a very similar illustration.

The symbolism of this card is in those who rise from the dead, in the Last Judgment.
This is the time when all souls will be called to account for their deeds on life path, and then they will finally be told what result they can expect.

Note, however, how tense the figures are.
They have not yet announced a decision; they only know that it will be delivered.
This is an allegory for awakening.
And when they awoke, they found that the faith that brought them here was based on fact.

Indeed, there is something outside this life that is worth striving for.

inner meaning

Like the Death card, Judgment symbolizes the end of your old life and the beginning of a new one.
But in this case, the changes, whatever they may be, are for the better.

Your questions will be answered; your doubts will be resolved.
Finally you will know the truth.
These questions may concern both the spiritual and worldly aspects of your life.
AT worldly life you can, for example, find out what to expect from a new career, a new romance, a change for the better in your general lifestyle.

On a spiritual level, the answers are more important.
Until now, you have been striving for a goal, supported only by your own belief that it must exist and that it is worth striving for.
Now you will be shown that your goal really exists, that there is nothing more valuable to strive for.

Judgment promises a reward for your faith and your aspirations: confirmation that there is a worthy reason and purpose - both for your existence and for the existence of the universe in which you live to achieve your goal.

From now on, you don't have to blindly believe.
You know exactly.
Note that, contrary to the imagery used here, the map does not point to the Last Judgment in the sense of the end of the world.
But it does indicate the end of the old life of the seeker, and that means the end of confusion, despair and doubt.

Judgment is a positive card, symbolizing a new birth, a new understanding.
Most importantly, you are entitled to these awards because you have earned them with your faith and your determination against all doubt.

Judgment is upon our behavior and our character.

Value in the layout

Direct, or positive: determination, determination, result, outcome.
Innovation, new start, new beginnings.
Expect news, important news that will positively affect your progress.

Problems solved, answers given.
Change, new birth, renewal: a radical but positive change in your life.
Reversed or Negative: Delay, slowness and caution, delay, weakness, cowardice.

It is also possible to punish any of these character traits.
You blindly moved towards your goal, making mistakes and stammering.
Now the time has come when success and understanding are guaranteed to you.
Do not be afraid.
Grab this opportunity with both hands.

If you put off making a decision, if you hesitate, the rarest opportunity of your life may slip out of your hands.
If this card represents the Questioner, rest assured that you are on the right track.

No matter how big the doubts were.
It doesn't matter that the results so far have been negative, in fact you have already made the right choice regarding your own life and the lives of others who may be affected by your choice.

Expect positive results in the very near future.
Important questions will be answered, guarantees received, doubts resolved.
You will be rewarded for your efforts.

Mary Greer. "The Complete Book of Reversed Tarot Cards".

Judgment is a transcendence of physical reality and life's limiting circumstances.
You are at a crossroads, you have a vision or a revelation that has become a source of profound, profound change.

Like a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis, you are taking on a new form or being freed from limitations.
Something new is calling you - an occupation, a profession, an intellectual idea, or one of the great truths.
You may be faced with an important choice or the need to make a decision that requires complete dedication.

You can volunteer to take on some serious tasks.
This card portends a paradigm shift, the sudden manifestation of a new mode of perception, meaning or quality of life.
It can also indicate something important in an existential sense - for example, the beginning of a new cycle or the onset of a new stage in life.

Perhaps your own conscience has decided to set your alarm for five in the morning and give you a chance to atone for past sins and make amends.
You go through a process of soul-searching or reinventing yourself.

This may be a change in the direction of life, taking responsibility for past actions, or pulling up karmic tails.
For some, this will literally be a second birth or the acquisition of a true calling.

On the other hand, you can develop the capacity for mature and considered judgment by using all the qualities given to you by nature in the most holistic and integrated way.
You can criticize yourself or accept criticism from others or be responsible for approving the project.

In the field of legal proceedings, this will be following the highest truth.
If you saw yourself in an angel with a trumpet, you can now set the tone, "blow your own tune", raise an alarm, file a lawsuit, or speak publicly, addressing large crowds of people.

Now the interests of the family, group or community and joint action may be especially important, as well as a true Buddhist concern for all living beings.
You can be very sensitive to collective needs, aspirations and desires.

Sometimes it may be the resurrection of something old in a new form and new style.
This card also means the struggle of each new generation for self-consciousness and identity, for the right to have their own voice.

In some cases, the situation is connected in one way or another with music or vibrations.
Traditional meanings: update.
Sunday.
Awakening.
Movement, change.

Reason, intellect.

Opinions, views.
Definition of the subject.

Inverted Judgment

Reversed Judgment means difficult transition and resistance to transformation.

You can quit what you started or get out of a situation that threatens a comfortable and safe lifestyle, habitual behavior patterns, or property interests.
You may be reluctant to change, avoid making decisions, or need extra time to adjust to the situation.

If you get stuck in this state, the result will be stagnation and decay.
Perhaps you refuse to hear the "call" or reject new technologies and methods.
On the other hand, you may be too zealous to rush into a new business.

It may turn out to be decay family union, forced change of residence or material losses.
Procrastination and confusion will be the result of missed opportunities or important contacts.
You can be bypassed by an invitation to some important event.

There may be hostility and conflict at the group level, unrest, protest marches and demonstrations, and in the worst case, uprisings and calls to arms.
Perhaps the source of unhappiness will be judicial decisions.

You may be overly critical, categorical, or wallow in soul-searching.
Or, criticism from others will seem too harsh, biased and unfriendly to you - which will affect your work in the most negative way.

This is an obvious lack of foresight and an inability to see the whole picture of what is happening, which will lead to biased assessments and wrong decisions.
You may miss some important news or information.

On an everyday level, an inverted Judgment can mean a message about a sale of used items or some extremely unpleasant incidents.
You may question the wisdom of change—with or without reason—or the value of an inner voice, or the promises of leaders.

Sometimes this card speaks of the fear of old age and death.
When projecting an inverted Judgment on others, it will seem to you that they are trying to influence others by the power of their personality or by means of propaganda.

Or, on the contrary, they will be seen by you as meek and passive sheep, ready to go where they are driven.
On an inner level, Judgment reversed can mean "voices" and apocalyptic visions.

In terms of health, these can include allergies, insect bites, motion sickness, indigestion, migraines, asthma, colic, painful periods, and general deterioration in health.
However, on the other hand, this card may indicate a sudden recovery from an illness.

From a shamanic and magical point of view, this is conscious work on a collective and social level, as well as transitional states of a global order, such as changes in the weather and the state of the planet or the onset of a new zone.

On a more practical level, it is the use of music and vibrations to invoke spirits.
Traditional inverted meanings: Delayed results, delays.
Rejection, disgust.
Cowardice.
Weakness, inability.

Simplicity.
Sentence.
Arrest.
Noise and confusion.
Disappointment.
Indecision.
Delay.
Stagnation, immobility.
Distance, alienation.
Insanity.

"And the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord."

Revelation of John the Evangelist, 11:15

Description of the card and its inner meaning

It would be wrong to say that this card should evoke the same feeling of joy and happiness as the previous Arcana.

Rather, on the contrary, horror and reverence awaken in the soul at the mere thought that the hour of the Last Judgment has come, that each of us will receive what he deserves with his thoughts and actions, that from All-seeing eye no one and nothing is hidden.

In almost all decks, at the top of the twentieth Arcanum, a divine figure is depicted, most often an Angel, who looks at this world from the clouds, holding a pipe in his hands.
The bodies of the people gathered below are naked.

They rise from coffins or straight out of the ground, their faces expressing surprise and fear.
The number of human figures on the map can vary from two to six.
As in the case of the thirteenth Arcana, among them you can see men, women, children.

The twentieth Arcana is the doctrine of the great turning point coming in human spirit when he restores himself to real world.
Until then, he lived in illusion.
Now, affirming in his original image, a person begins to directly feel the reality of his being, thereby coordinating his capabilities.

The Last Judgment card tells about the resurrection from the dead, about a person gaining true life.
Like the Death card, the twentieth Arcana symbolizes the end of our old life and the transition to a new one.
But in this case, change, whatever it may be, is change for the better.

Now all your questions will be answered and all doubts will be dispelled.

Relationship of the card with other occult sciences

Card meaning

Direct position

The card speaks of the appearance in the life of the Questioner of an old acquaintance or a person from the past, with whom the Questioner had once not resolved some issue.
Now it's time to dot the i's.

When describing a situation, the card has the following interpretations: outcome and final resolution of any issue, positive changes, decisiveness, resolution of a protracted situation.

Reversed position

The twentieth Arcana in this case will tell about a person from the past of the Questioner, with whom the latter would not like to meet, since only unpleasant memories are associated with him (for example, monetary debts).

If an inverted card fell out in your layout and it describes the situation, then you should choose one of the following values: weakness, indecision, naive simplicity, cowardice, stagnation in business, deliberate "slowing down" of some process, postponement, court verdict.

“No matter what happens in your life, no matter what events begin to happen, this is a pattern.
But none of this should scare you.
Know that you are on the right track.
It doesn't matter that so far some of the results of your deeds have been negative character, in fact, you have already made the right choice both in your own life and in the lives of other people.

Rely on your life experience and intuition and wait for positive and global changes in your destiny."

Description

The court referred to in this Arcana has nothing to do with jurisprudence.
The card "Court" means a sentence of fate that cannot be appealed, canceled or postponed.
This is the end of your doubts, the answer to your questions.

Arcanum "Judgment" speaks of a higher court, not a human one.
Just like "Death" and "The Tower", this card symbolizes change.
But in this case, the changes, whatever they may be, are for the better.
Traditionally, the map depicts an angel blowing a trumpet and the dead rising from the earth.

This is the plot of the Apocalypse, describing the second coming of Christ and the Last Judgment, during which sinners will be punished, and the righteous will rise from their graves after the trumpet voice of an angel.
However, belief in life after death and posthumous retribution after the hardships and sufferings of life, in fact, with the hope of a happy future, is a common element of any religion.

Dying and resurrecting gods are by no means a godsend of the evangelists.
It's just that Christians used the mythological plot, characteristic of many religions and associated with seasonal changes in nature.
The act of the death of a god and his resurrection from the dead after torment is also recorded in the myth of Osiris, familiar to you.

Since we are considering the Egyptian Tarot, this Arcana also reflects the idea of the ancient Egyptians about the Last Judgment.
As you know, the Egyptians had an unshakable belief that everything committed by a person during his lifetime would be considered by the divine court after his death.

They did not imagine some common judgment for all.
The question of the deeds and the posthumous fate of each soul was considered immediately after death.
It is this process that we see on the map.
The background of the map is black, but due to the many bright figures and characters, the map does not look gloomy.

It is full of events, movement and colors.
Like many Egyptian images, it is divided into several fields.
On the upper field we see a man in white clothes, kneeling - this is the soul (Ah) of the deceased, who appeared before the court of the gods.

The second part of the upper and the entire lower field are occupied by the figures of the gods.
The central image shows us psychostasia.
Of course, the Egyptians doubted that there were sinless people, but they really hoped for the mercy of the gods.

Chapter 125 of the Book of the Dead is entirely devoted to the deliverance of sinners from sins, when you read it, it seems that you are present at this Supreme Court, but there is complete confidence that everything will turn out for the best.

Mythological dossier

The Last Judgment looked something like this.
Osiris sits on his throne.
Isis and Nephthys stand behind him.
Fourteen gods lined up in depth.
In the middle are scales, the support of which is decorated with the head of Maat.

He, Anubis and Maat are kept in the center of the hall, Near the scales sits the monster Eater.
He has the head of a crocodile, the front of the body is lion's, and the back is like a hippopotamus.
The devourer had to immediately and irrevocably swallow the sinner, whose heart would be heavier than the ostrich feather of Maat.

Anubis brings in the deceased, dressed in linen.
The deceased salutes the gods and delivers a long exculpatory speech, consisting of nothing but negatives:

I didn't hurt people.
I have not harmed the livestock.
I didn't do bad things.
I didn't raise my hand to the weak.
I didn't do nasty things in front of the gods.

So he renounced all sins and repeated this speech before each of the gods.
Then the rite of psychostasia began - the weighing of the heart.
So that the heart would not speak and refute the words of its owner, there was a special spell that the deceased immediately pronounced.

After that, the result could only be positive.
Anubis stopped the swing of the scales, said that the bowls were in balance, He wrote down the results and announced the deceased "maa heru" - "truthful voice."

The monster again remained hungry, and another subject entered the kingdom of Osiris.
We paid so much attention to the description of the Last Judgment specifically so that you get the feeling that you have already gone through this procedure.

Arcanum "Judgment" is a positive card that symbolizes the beginning of a new life.
Your questions will be answered, your doubts will be resolved, you will know the truth.
This can manifest itself in both your worldly life and your spiritual life.

The card indicates that confusion, despair and doubt are coming to an end.
The changes that this card portends are natural and inevitable.
Regardless of how a person treats them, they come on time and especially for him.

It is foolish to resist them, but it is simply necessary to use new opportunities.
The lasso "Judgment" tells us about the cyclical nature of events and the variability of all things.
It teaches us to trust fate and not be afraid of change, to discard the old and accept the new.

Value in the layout

In a straight position

The lasso "Judgment" symbolizes the joy due to the fulfillment of a dream.
Inner awakening.
Improved health and increased goodwill.
A return to old affairs and projects or a decision to start a new business that will change life for the better.

Unexpected help from strangers is likely.
Any radical but positive change in your life is possible.
Like the Death card, it speaks of the deliverance and transformation of both the body and the soul.
A change, the beginning of a brand new one.

Indicates an irrevocable decision, the final outcome of the case.
Advice.
Even if you don’t like and don’t expect any changes in principle, you will have to come to terms with the fact that they happen, and pleasant excitement is good for your health.

In an inverted position

Arkan "Judgment" warns against the fear of change.
He says that you can’t delay making a decision, you still have to make it.
Procrastination threatens with losses: by refusing deliverance, you harm yourself, your life enters a phase of stagnation and stagnation.

The card represents a person bound by old behavioral patterns and complexes, stereotypical behavior.
If the neighboring cards do not say anything, then we can say that the situation will not change until the person begins to act decisively.

Advice.
Try making a gratitude list.
Include gratitude for the people you have met along the way.
Gratitude for the events that helped you learn something, and the various little things that make your life enjoyable and interesting.

The longer it is, the easier it will be for you to decide to take a step.

COURT It is easy to err in the interpretation of the Judgment card, if we proceed only from the name.

Judgment in general, and the “judgment” that is meant here, that is, the Last Judgment in particular, is usually associated with punishment, punishment, and thus with hopelessness and fear.
Meanwhile, the meaning of the card is based, first of all, on the drawing, which includes completely certain cultural and mythological images.

The Judgment card depicts the Resurrection, that is, the moment of rebirth and liberation of something that has long been suppressed or hidden; this is the exit of the true, Divine principle from the dungeon to the light.
Thus, the meaning of this card is just very favorable.

It personifies an important, decisive step towards the formation of personality, the successful completion of the next stage of its alchemical transformation, that is, the transformation of lower matter into higher.
At the everyday level, this card also means liberation - from some worries or from a harmful person, from "extra" qualities like shyness, fearfulness, etc. And she can also indicate that in the case we are asking about, the "treasure" we are looking for is hidden.

Astrological meaning: Pluto The twentieth card of the Major Arcana is called Judgment (another name is Eternity) and depicts figures rising from graves.
Above them, in a blaze of glory, is the winged figure of the Angel Gabriel, blowing a fanfare.

This card symbolizes the release of the triple spiritual power of man from the grave of his material existence.
Since only one third of the spirit enters into physical body, and the remaining two-thirds are the Hermetic anthropos (or superman), then only one of them will actually rise from the tomb.

The sound of the trumpet (fanfare) symbolizes the creation of the World, and with this sound a person is freed from earthly restrictions.
The traditional picture of the Tarot depicts "Judgment Day" - people rising from the graves and an angel announcing the end of their sleep with a fanfare, soaring high in the sky.

And although this card is called Judgment and evokes associations with the terrible presentation of the Apocalypse, it symbolizes the affirmation of hope for the future.
But in order for the new to happen, the old must remain in place - it must die.

Astrologically, the card is associated with the planet Pluto, whose energy, acquired by him during the disharmonious state of the destruction of the old, makes it possible to start all over again.
This is the inner energy that is able to elevate our thoughts to their realization in the world and which, based on the concept of death, destroys all worthless old things.

In the image of the planet Pluto, transformation is correlated with suffering and passion - close, but still different concepts.
In the culture of the past, the idea of the renewal of the world was associated with ascetic feats of saving one's soul and the souls of one's neighbors, but now it enters everyday life along with the concept of love, and the laity transform each other with their love.

Astrologically, the conjunction of the planets Earth and Mercury encourages people to build a new, intelligent world in this real reality.
Awakening and Judgment on oneself is a subjective withdrawal into inner world, maximum detachment from the external world and the embodiment of only those ideas that the mind is able to control.

The interaction of the Sun and the Moon - the gravitation of the universally feminine and universally masculine principles - is the perpetual motion machine that establishes the continuity of the independent movement of the yin and yang system that closes on itself, forming harmony of the Tao and giving the possibility of any incarnation.

The twentieth Arcana - Judgment - is the spiritual rebirth of a person, the redemption of the past, repentance and forgiveness, restoration of strength, awakening and renewal, the release of hitherto hidden opportunities, the knowledge of great relationships.

In the upright position, the card means improved health and increased goodwill.
The decision to start a new business that will change life for the better.
Joy is due to the realization of a dream.
It can also mean a situation where, after a long stagnation, changes for the better finally came.

Reward, salary increase, rest after long work.
In a word, goal achievement.
In an inverted position, the card warns: do not delay making a decision, you still cannot avoid it!
Don't be late, take advantage!

Delay threatens loss.
Insurmountable difficulties may arise due to your fault.
Don't be afraid of change.
If the neighboring cards do not say anything, then we can say that the circumstances will not change until the one who is guessing takes decisive steps.

In personal matters, the card can symbolize separation or even divorce.
"You have reached high level consciousness.
You have a rich, wise soul and now you know what happiness is.
You understood what your destiny is, paid off your karmic debt, and now you can help others with this."

Evgeny Kolesov. "ABC Tarot".

The card depicts an Angel trumpeting with the onset of the Day of Judgment.
Below are open graves from which people rise.
(Therefore, in the Egyptian Tarot it is called the Resurrection from the Dead.) At the top is sometimes placed the image of the Almighty.

The time has come to overcome losses, break down obstacles and rise to a new life, says this card.
Now we know that it can only be reached by crossing a threshold that previously seemed impregnable.
The door is closed only to those weighed down by the burden of the flesh, habits and affections of the past.

The shadow can easily pass through it.
Become a shadow for evil, leave everything earthly, and your spirit will find freedom.
The angel has already sounded, you are called.
Get up and go.
In astrology, this card is associated with the hypothetical planet Vulcan, the personification of a reasonable creative principle, transforming evil into good, “forging swords into plowshares”: not without reason, Vulcan (Hephaestus) is the name of the divine blacksmith, the son of Jupiter and Juno.

Meaning of the card: New things come into your life.
Life takes on a new dimension.
You are no longer a “separately taken” individual, but a part of the All-Unity, a conductor and transmitter of cosmic energy.
Listen more attentively to her signals, to the voice of the heavenly trumpet: now you are a messenger of God, an instrument of higher powers.

Try to understand the meaning of the task entrusted to you and fulfill it with honor.
In practical terms, for a creative person (artist, poet, artist), this card in a direct position means the onset of a new period of inspiration, active work, perhaps a search for new forms.

In general, it often means a surge of new strength, the opening of a “second wind”, a transition to a new quality.
In combination with other success cards, it can mean the implementation of creative plans - the release of a book, the opening of an exhibition, the completion of a project.

For people, let's say, ordinary people who are not looking for success or glory, but only peace and the preservation of the status quo, the Court in a direct position means annoying anxiety, a violation of the usual course of things.
Inverted: Creative block, stagnation, failure or delay with a book, play, project.

Or, for ordinary people - the preservation of the usual state, immutability, peace (“and everything is calm in the cemetery ...”).
For businessmen: This card promises well-being to filmmakers, poets and other people who are not literally engaged in business; he promises real businessmen rather big troubles - and gives advice to hire (sponsor) people of art so that they create an image for his business.

The main meaning of the card

Direct position

This Arcana, despite the rather harsh name, does not carry the ideas of punishment and retribution. Speech in this case it is about transformation, revealing new aspects of personality or talents in oneself, about reviving a person after a difficult period, freeing him from something very annoying, annoying, fettering. The lasso indicates decisive steps on our part - cardinal and persistent. And also - on the efficiency and effectiveness of such steps. Of course, such phenomena are usually accompanied by painful emotions, sensations, and sometimes also fears and doubts. However, you should always remember that everything negative in this case is temporary, transient, while a satisfactory result will be stable and long-term.

Some combinations of the Court with other Arcana in the layout are very interesting. These are combinations of Judgment + Priestess (opening magical abilities), Judgment + Chariot (the long-awaited achievement of victory), Judgment + Death (a decisive step to finally let go of something that has already ceased to have meaning and significance, but for which, for some reason, a person stubbornly held on until now).

Reversed position

In an inverted position, Arkan Judgment testifies to a person’s resistance to change, to excessive caution, which only hinders progress, to health problems that prevent action and progress towards the goal. This is a certain destructive aspect of our aspirations, something that pulls us back or makes us, figuratively speaking, mark time. The reason here, in general, is simple: a person underestimates the difficulties or relies on the notorious “maybe”.

Always pay attention in the layout to the Arcana adjacent to the inverted Judgment, because they can add a lot to its general interpretations. For example, with the Hierophant, the inverted Judgment symbolizes another disappointment in ideals, and with the Hermit, an overestimation of one's capabilities.

Love and relationships

Direct position

For the sphere of personal relationships, Judgment is always gain. A partner, if until now the person has been lonely, or a new level of relationship, if the union of people has already taken place (the latter situation is especially characteristic with Lovers). The court in this case speaks of the internal changes that have occurred, which entail overcoming existing obstacles and externally can manifest itself as a feeling of clarity of the situation (for example, with the Star), insight. Arkan clearly makes it clear that certain problems have been rethought, which are now in the past, because they have been worked out and lessons learned from them.

Reversed position

An inverted Judgment in relationship layouts usually indicates that a person repents of something, feels remorse, regret. Moreover, such an assessment of the situation creates for him the same difficulties and obstacles in relationships with loved ones, which can be expressed in delays or delays. In certain situations, the Judgment upside down can be interpreted as a temporary separation. The meaning of the Arcana is further enhanced if the Hanged Man is next to him in the layout (then the Court is interpreted as deep repentance) or the Devil (stubborn unwillingness to change something).

Career

Direct position

If, when fortune-telling for a career, the Court fell out of the profession, then we can talk about the revival of professional activity, that the routine of everyday work has remained (or is about to remain) behind. The person whom the Court characterizes can count on serious changes in his career, on the fact that his project (business, undertaking) will finally enter a decisive phase. If the alignment is made for a new future job, then this Arkan convincingly indicates that it will be found, that it is worth moving to this new job, because it will turn out to be much more interesting and more promising than the previous one.

If everything is calm and stable in the professional sphere, then the Court is an indicator that a person will be able to get rid of some kind of chronic problem, of a boring and long unnecessary duty, etc. Together with the Magician, the Court in the alignment should be interpreted as strengthening, improving professional qualities; with Justice - as the ability to sensibly and objectively assess difficult situations; with the Sun - as the arrival of fame.

Reversed position

The inverted Court in the layouts for the profession is generally interpreted as significant problems, overcoming which, however, will lead a person to a qualitatively new stage in his career. At the same time, one must understand that problems can be external (delays, procrastination) or expressed in an internal feeling of regret and overly pessimistic assessments. When combined with the Emperor, the inverted Judgment must be interpreted as the obstacles one will face in expanding one's project. If the Three of Wands turned upside down next to the Court, then the person will receive a valuable, albeit painful experience.

Events will be. Change is inevitable. And it's better if you accept it. Because then you can go in the right direction confidently and slowly, solving problems, overcoming difficulties and paying attention to what matters.
