The Judgement - Meaning of The Judgement Card in Tarot Cards

The title of The Judgement Tarot card is, ‘The Spirit of the primal fire’. The image seen on the card is that of Israfel blowing the Last Trumpet and the dead arising from their tombs. The three trumps attributed to the Elemental Paths are perhaps the most difficult to understand. They represent the action of forces exterior to the experience of humanity, not the influence of environment but the impact of the Supernal upon the sublunary. In the Air we have pure spirit holding in leash the lust of the flesh. In water, the sublimating power of sacrifice. Here in Fire, we are shown the cosmic forces concentrating on the pilgrim from all sides. Judgment is pronounced upon him.

The Judgement card also shows that it is time for a person to move on. It also means that a person should try to resolve a situation. It explains the fact that when you understand where you are and what you have done, you are able to see the bigger picture about a situation.

The image seen on this card can be better explained as : The great angel is encompassed by clouds, but he blows his bannered trumpet, and the cross as usual is displayed on the banner. The dead are rising from their tombs - a woman on the right, a man on the left hand, and between them their child, whose back is turned. But in this card there are more than three who are restored, and it has been thought worth while to make this variation as illustrating the insufficiency of current explanations. It should be noted that all the figures are as one in the wonder, adoration and ecstasy expressed by their attitudes.
