Dignified:       Judgment represents the culmination or summation of our life’s actions and experiences.  It is a point of self-reflection in which we come to terms with our lives or we find great regret.  Judgment is not meant to commit one to eternal damnation but rather it is a point of soul reflection to bring truth to our state of existence.  The Judgment card has strong reference to the Justice card as its sole purpose is that of finding balance, but now it is a balance of complete finality.  Many suggest that Judgment insists that all negatives be corrected through harsh atonement, but life makes room for mistakes and nature is extremely forgiving.  Forgiveness in and of life is extremely important.  Forgiveness not only from God or from Life but forgiveness of the self and forgiveness from within.  Overall, Judgment is an assessment of the soul work that has been completed and a decision will be made whether or not life’s lessons have been learned.  Judgment in its dignified or positive position represents a loving and kind discussion, one in which both flaws AND accomplishments will be brought to light.  Judgment is like a talk with your mother or father over what things may still need to be worked upon and what things they are extremely proud of.  Judgment brings peace, no matter what path the soul has taken.

Ill-Dignified:     In a reversed position Judgment represents regret and despair over major decisions made in life.  It can indicate an unjust, harsh or severe punishment for minor offenses.  Judgment reversed can also signify a Lack of faith in oneself and in life.  It can also depict a genuine fear of others opinions.
