Your Tarot Card of the Year: Judgement
If the digits of your birthday this year add up to 20, your Card of the Year is Judgement
What Judgement is All About
Wake up already! Judgement has a message for you, and it’s one of reckoning. In many classic versions of this card, figures rise from their graves at the sound of a trumpet, symbolizing renewal, rebirth, and the call to step into a higher version of yourself. Don’t get lost in stories of punishment -- Judgement is a truth revealed and the chance to answer that truth with courage. This card represents moments when the past can no longer define you, when you’re ready to release old patterns and rise into something new. After the radiance of the Sun, Judgement marks a shift from personal joy to collective calling. Be on the lookout for big realizations, turning points, and the courage to claim your next chapter.
How to Work with Judgement Energy
Start by reflecting on where you’ve been. Take a stab at some honest self-assessment. What patterns are you eager to release? What inner promptings are you ready to acknowledge? Rather than clinging to guilt or regret, Judgement asks you to see your past as a foundation for growth. Stay open to “wake-up calls” that may arrive, moments when you suddenly know what to do and have no interest in making excuses that take you away from that knowledge. Judgement is a classic card of opportunity, and this far into the Major Arcana, you’ve done the necessary work. You’re prepared.
Judgement’s Advice
“Do the thing.”
Answer the call that’s been stirring in your heart, even if it feels daunting. You are not defined by who you’ve been. When your next step becomes obvious, whether through an inner realization or an outer circumstance, step up to meet it. By releasing the past and stepping into your awakened self, you create space for transformation on a scale that’s both personal and profound.
