XX: The Judgement Tarot Card
General Meaning
Planets: Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter, Venus
Zodiac signs: Sagittarius, Aquarius
Planet in sign: Saturn in Aquarius
Element: Fire
Changes in life, renewal, spiritual rebirth. Any new successful projects and beginnings (marriage, the birth of a child, a new job, an improved quality of life). Progress, moving forward, achieving results. Good news. Significant changes will soon arrive in your life, or your personality will undergo a transformation. New goals, aspirations and plans will appear. Some will discover new talents. Remember, however, that everything new comes through letting go of the old. So you will have to cross out old stereotypes and abandon outdated ways of thinking. Of course, achieving what you want will take a great deal of effort. The road to your goal is filled with problems, difficulties and obstacles. Be ready to give it your all and do not spare yourself. Only then will the goal not seem like an impossible dream. Remember that problems are only temporary, and you can cope with them. In some cases the Judgement card indicates that you have already managed to achieve what you want, but you do not realize it yet. It may also be that you have come to the end of a dark streak of failures and are now entering an entirely new level.

May point to legal proceedings, but says nothing about the outcome. Sometimes it simply symbolizes family. Retribution.
Work
A responsible decision must be made. An atmosphere that calls for extreme action (positive or negative — the other cards will tell). An important conversation or meeting. An exam, a test. Both starting a job and being dismissed from one.
Health
A state of crisis. Surgery (or advice to have it). Death arcana may lie nearby. An unexpected diagnosis. Flare-ups of chronic illnesses.
Relationships
Marriage or divorce — the legal formalization of a relationship. A serious conversation, a clearing of the air (fixing the fact that a decision has been made).
Personality Type
Responsible, serious. A tendency toward regularity. Always right — impossible to argue with. Loves throwing out unnecessary things and putting everything in its place. Often leaders, frequently informal ones. Capable of guiding others up the career ladder toward a goal. Applies the same standards to themselves as to others.
Advice and Warning
Get serious about sorting things out. Go to that serious conversation. Less often — seek help from state institutions or the courts.
Yes or No
An answer on the merits. Often warns of fateful moments. "Yes", but effort will be required. You must not sit with your hands folded. "Yes" if the question is about restoring something that existed before. "No" to questions like "will I manage to avoid court, surgery, etc.".
Reversed Card Meaning
In the reversed position, the Judgement card shows that global changes are approaching, but you are resisting them in every possible way because you are not ready to accept the new. It may also be that, due to new circumstances and difficulties, you are moving toward your goal very slowly. There may be factors you are not even aware of that affect the achievement of your goal. You may have temporarily reached a dead end and stagnation. Think about the true reasons that are holding you back right now; analyze yourself and your actions. The factors may be beyond your control — in that case you need to wait. It may also be that you are relying on inaccurate information or misconceptions. In any case, it is important to make a decision as soon as possible. You must move on and take action, because slowness will only create more problems and difficulties.
