Judgement

In Tarot, the card Judgment is marked with the number twenty (XX) and its symbolism refers to the great change. It is in no way associated with the biblical Last Judgment, although the figure of the Archangel Gabriel on the card may evoke such associations. On it, he emerges from among the clouds with a golden trumpet, from which a sound is emitted. The sound of this trumpet makes even the dead rise from their graves in a gesture of welcome. In the background of the Judgment we see land and mountains, which symbolize the connection of earth and heaven. The colors of the card and the symbols on it point to purification and transformation. The Judgment is not a symbol of physical death or resurrection, but of a moment when you can take stock of your life, and make a great transformation in it.
