Judgment Tarot Card Meanings, by Avia /Η κάρτα Ταρώ της Κρίσεως, από την Avia
For many, the word "judgment" evokes some very unsavory
thoughts and images. It's no wonder the term makes some people cringe. For eons
this term has been associated with religious misunderstanding and intolerance.
Wars are waged in the name of religion, and Judgement is the battlefield.
Ironically, the reason for a religious war can be skinned down to one
man's judgment against another man's religion. Further pared, it could be said
that one man has judged that the other man should have his religion, not
another's.

tarot card meanings
In the Christian faith, Judgment is associated with the "Judgment
day." That day, according to Biblical text, in which all souls will be
called and each soul is measured and marked according to virtue and obedience
to God.
Religion aside, Judgment plays a part in every life in every day. We make
judgment calls about how to raise our children. We use good judgment about how
we manage our finances. We need judgment to determine what career we want to
have.
Now that we've covered the various types of Judgment, let's take a hard
look at the card. There is no evidence of fear in the card, and no conveyance
of scolding or negativity. This is because the Judgment Tarot card meanings are
not about judging against others. It has nothing to do with negative judgments
made against our actions or against other people.
This card deals with honesty. Nancy Lopez, one of the most accomplished
women of the professional golf scene, made a fine point when she said:
"Doubt yourself and you doubt everything you see. Judge yourself and you
see judges everywhere. But if you listen to the sound of your own voice, you
can rise above doubt and judgment. And you can see forever." This is the
prime message of the Judgment card.
When we put a negative spin on this card, it becomes confusing,
confounding and seemingly irrlevant to a reading. However, when we understand
that judgment is a natural, God-given gift that we can use in order answer our
highest calling - it takes on an entirely new meaning.
The Judgment card comes up in a reading when it is time to heed our
highest calling. When we are at a crossroads, and it is time to lift ourselves
us and transform our lives. It comes at a pivotal time when we must be honest
with ourselves, judge what best action should be taken and rise up to the
challenges to embrace our best life.
This is an inspiring card. It indicates that higher energies are in
motion to assist us in living a new, fresh, wonderful life. Just as the Christ
was resurrected to a new phase of life, so too can we transform ourselves and
move into a new way of living.
Other deck renditions show the angel Gabriel blowing his horn to call up
the souls to their higher understanding. This is precisely the message this
card bears. It is time to heed the call of resurrection. Now is the time to
make a positive difference in our lives and in the lives of others.
Key Symbols Relative to Judgment Tarot Card Meanings:
This section focuses in on a few
select symbols that can help us further define the Judgment Tarot card
meanings.
Arms: The figures in this card are accepting higher knowledge with open arms.
When we observe our lives with love and honesty, we are fully prepared to
except a final judgment. We are willing to take this declaration and move to a
higher level. By openly embracing the new-found knowlege of our life direction
we are able to more effectively move into a new direction. Knowledge is power
when we take it in with open arms, we become powerful ourselves.
Cross: The ancient Greeks created this symbol with all legs of equal length
and size. One of the simplest symbols, and used since ancient times, it
represents several things to different cultures. In ancient Greece it is an
emblem of the four elements. In the ancient Middle East, the symbol represents
the four directions (north, south, east, west) and the four winds. Even the
ancient Aztecs used this symbol to represent the meeting place of god (at the
cross-section). The cross in this card indicates that an even-mind (sound
judgment) is of foremost importance in our personal development.
Horn: The horn is the symbol of the angel Gabriel. It is an audible calling
to us to rise out of our complacency and heed the call to live profound,
invigorating lives. The horn is also a symbol of clarity and divine
intervention. The horn sounds from God and our own higher selves. When we hear
the horn blow it is time to make a better change in our lives. The horn is also
a symbol of our inner calling. When we've been stuck in a situation that does
not serve us we hear the horn of our inner voice urging us to move in a
direction more fulfilling to our soul purpose.
Flag
(in Rider-Waite): The flag is an
announcement to change - something has shifted and a flag makes the world aware
of this shift. It is a bright, bold obvious sign that a new day is dawning.
This is not about subtle shifts - the flag is about "in-your-face"
transformation; an event to announce to all who will hear.
