Tarot Tuesday: Judgment (XX)

Post number two for today.

Today's Card:

Judgment (XX)

The 21st card of the Major Arcana--
Judgment isn't necessarily the same as Justice
it often signifies a decision has been made or in the making

Meaning (Upright):

good things happening, ability to make progress and see what the future holds; face life realistically; no need for unwanted ties, make the changes you desire; cosmic energy to give you guidance surrounds you; important decision in the making; faith in higher power within; refusal to accept traditional views; trusting of self, spiritual atunement; career change or change of residence; understanding brings confidence

Meaning (Reversed):

materialistic focus; bad judgments of blind faith; fear of the New Age; tunnel vision; mortality; family loss or separation; traditional thinking; a need to face the truth; failure to rise to the challenge; uneasy feeling, self-made rut, loneliness; can't see a way out of certain situations; self-pity/feeling sorry for yourself isn't going to help; review your life and make plans for the future; don't let fear control you or lock you into a situation; try new ideas; a change of career, residence start over again. Sickness or loneliness may be affecting you

In a Reading: Judgment upright in your reading is a message from the powers that be that good things are starting to happen for you. It's a reinforcement that you have the opportunity and the ability to make progress as long as you're willing to look at your life and plans realistically. Don't jump into anything or make any major decisions without first seriously thinking it over. Relish your new found confidence and be willing to look at things in a non-traditional manner. Trust your self and your instincts.
