People: Judges, the Supreme Court, executioners.
Situation & Advice: A cycle is ending and you must prepare for a new stage of growth. You are released from old fears and obstacles. You are reaching a milestone in your developments. It is a time of renewal and awakening and a time to reap the rewards of past actions. The time has come to wipe you slate clean and prepare for a positive new beginning. You are able to see things more clearly, and the world looks different to you and decisions can be made with this new realization. If you need to let go of someone or something this will now be possible, with gentleness and few regrets. You must be aware that you are making a final decision regarding what you now see more clearly. If you make this decision with full awareness of its potential for transformation, the outcome will be beneficial. If you are contemplating a career change, you will achieve success. In matter of health, healing and recovery will take place. If involved in legal matters, they will be decided in your favor. If a student you will pass your exams. A letter or telephone call seals your fate one way or another, but how you respond to the news gives you control over your destiny. A surprise is in store for you.
People: Those involved in unwelcome endings or unwanted major life changes. Those learning the lessons of negative karma. Students failing exams. Losers in a law suit.
Situation & Advice: When the Judgment card appears you may be facing the consequences of a poor decision you made in the past. You feel you have been punished for your inability to do better. Alternatively, you may be avoiding an important decision, because you fear the changes it will create in your life. Major unwelcome changes may be out of your control. A decision must be made, otherwise you may find yourself chasing an impossible dream or goal.
You may have reviewed an entire phase of your life and now realize it was worth it. You may have outgrown a relationship, job, situation or limiting structures but feel reluctant to let go. Even though you don't feel ready, you may need to terminate some aspect of your life. Perhaps a job or career matter has put distance between you and a significant other. A relationship may be coming to an end and you may feel reluctant to close that final chapter. You cannot postpone facing the facts forever. As difficult as it may seem you need to let go of the past and get on with your life.
A legal decision or exam result may not be in your favor. Sometimes Judgment reversed indicates health problems, especially troubles with eyesight and hearing. If you asked about the results of a medical examination, be prepared for upsetting news.
In relationship questions, Judgment reversed can symbolize a separation or divorce. If you asked about a legal matter the reversed Judgment card suggests that it will not be decided in your favor (especially with the Six of Wands reversed, indicating delays caused by treachery). In its reversed aspect, the Judgment card is advising you to take account of negative emotions, guilt and shame and the need to learn from your past mistakes. You need to cut your loses and proceed in a more constructive direction. Also awaited news does not come or it is different than you had expected. You also remember the dead. Circumstances, illness or even a death may separate you from a loved one.
