The Judgement Tarot Card Meaning

The Judgement card in a reading can be a very difficult one to be read. This is because it has multiple meanings. On one hand, judgement can come in the form of your own personal judgement and in that case the card is telling you to be careful how you proceed. It can also be a representation of harsh judgments being made upon you or by you. It is a reminder that we all end up in the same place in the end and how we get there should be guided by integrity or virtue. Consider how you may be placing your own opinions on others too harshly or not giving a fair chance to someone.

You may also feel that you are being watched or judged by others. If you have this suspicion, when this card comes up you are most likely right. Seeing the Judgement card is a reminder that you are not alone in your doings and that your actions can be interpreted or even misinterpreted. The card itself has a lot of Christian symbolism to the final judgement. A family stands with their arms up looking towards an angel often stated to be Gabriel. He blows a trumpet which is signaling the end of days. It is likely that those who are followers will be judged and atonement will soon take place. There are many different interpretations of what happens next after the scene in the card, but most will concur that there is going to be a judgment upon the souls of the land.

When the card appears in your reading it can often refer to legal battles or court cases of all varieties. Whereas the Justice card can be a good sign for your legal outcome the Judgement card neither good nor bad as it doesn’t state whether you will win or lose. However, this card is a guide of sorts, telling you what will need to be done next in order to be successful. All of your actions are going to come to light and anything that you are trying to hide or be deceitful about will not remain hidden. Now is a time to come clean before others find out your secret in their own fashion. The truth is better told when it comes from your mouth directly. You have the capability to control the outcome of a situation that you are in right now.

Judgement in Love

At first glance, the Judgement card shows that you are likely having a tough time in a relationship and like the general meaning of the card, either judging or being judged harshly. The accusations or suspicion around you at this time are not wholly emotionally based and they carry a heavy burden with them. Often the card will come up around a broken relationship that needs time to heal. Accusations made and thrown that are designed to hurt the other person in the relationship are another common occurrence. Be mindful of your state of mind in your relationship right now. Consider if you have been angry for the sake of anger itself and if it is truly your partner that is the problem. You may find that other areas of your life are causing weights that are too much to bear or that you are taking on too much and lashing out to those around you that you can trust. Think of it like a toddler’s behavior that can’t speak about what it wants. Instead of speaking the toddler cries to get their way. In a relationship, sometimes it’s easier to start a fight than to really sit down and talk about your problems. You want to be sure that the way you are acting is true to your own emotions so that you get what you want. Be careful of bringing your work home with you or allowing other stressors in your life to cloud your judgment about your relationship.

The card is a good sign for making amends and coming clean about something. This can be to another person or to yourself. With the Judgement card comes a sense of freedom and allows for communication, healing, and a time of reflection. You may find that this card comes up after a relationship is already over or about to end. Just because you get this card doesn’t mean you are going to be breaking up with your partner but if you are recently out of a relationship now may be the time to view your own actions in the relationship and be honest with your future expectations. Take time right now to focus on healthy avenues that bring out the best in you rather than spending time with people that bring out the worst.

Judgement in Work and Wealth

Judgement has an obvious meaning when concerning work and finance. It tells you that you are in a place where you need to make a choice or decision. There may be heavy demands being placed upon you right now. Allow time to contemplate before making a choice but don’t allow yourself to run around in circles. Once you have made your decision, act on it. Do not linger in the indecision phase. Be frugal with your money right now and avoid taking risks that seem too good to be true. If you feel that you are lacking information about a purchase, seek out the advice of others. This card is a very active card and you may feel invigorated with a project at hand. Continue moving forward, making decisions, and actively seeking an outcome in order to see success.

Judgement in Business

When the judgment card appears in a business reading this can imply you are on the right path but you may think you have done all you can. It is like you think you have failed but later down the line you might find success somewhere else or there is a delay in your business. The card indicates that you are guided from spirit in order to succeed in business, but the business you are in at the moment might not be the one. Judgment is also connected to finishing something and then selling it. This card is about transactions and getting something in return. Judgment is also about thinking about the future and that you need to reach some important decisions.

Judgement Advice

Drawing the Judgement card in a tarot spread can be an unprecedented wakeup call. It can mean someone has been parsimonious with their emotions and not giving what is needed to make an informed decision. Are being forced into a situation in life? It is now the time to call your own higher guidance for advice. The advice here is that in the face of change the Judgement card is saying that it is time to think about the path you are on. The judgement is a powerful card when it comes to advice and you should approach decisions with optimism.  

Judgement Yes Or No

In a “Yes or No” reading judgement normally means maybe. It can turn up in a reading when a new start is suppose to happen then there will be a feeling of freedoms. Judgment only shows up when you are looking to change the will of someone else. It is likely that the surrounding cards will give a better overview of if the is correct. This card can also indicate that you may judge others, or others will judge you.

Judgement Past

In the past position, this can mean that you have forgiven and accepted a situation. It is the truth card and that others have perhaps forgiven you. The Judgement card also signifies transitions in that there might be a need to look back to see what judgements have been made.

Judgement Present

In the present position, the judgment is a channel of understanding between the unconscious and conscious mind. It can suggest that presently, your life is rich but you are looking for something richer and more satisfying. There is also a mysterious decision that needs to be made that is not yet obvious.

Often I see the Judgement card appear in my readings when it is time to make an important concise decision. It could be that you know you are right about a certain situation and you need to your own discernment. Of course, integrity and discernment are normal traits of those that seek the truth. You are a truth seeker right now. The heightened state of consciousness is not merely something we should take advantage of. The brilliance of awareness that you hold currently will be reinforced. This will open up the possibilities and direct complexity of a given situation. 

Judgement Future and Outcome

The card could be asking you to make choices and decisions but above all, it is about letting go of something so that a better situation can be reached. In a tarot reading pulling judgment as an outcome or future card can indicate letting go of the past in order to get something better in life. It is time for you to reach some conclusions in life. What do you need to let go of? This card can also mean you are holding onto something that is dear to you. Indicating that things might stay as they are “balanced” and that all-important moment of realizing that something might succeed.

When you open up to life then the truth prevails. This card showing up in your future is focused on friendship, trust, and bright shiny new relationships. For future and outcome positions the Judgment Tarot Card can mean a spiritual awakening, being aware of problems will happen - even if where you were blinded to the truth before. 

There is love, happiness, focus, and the ability to grow and expand seen here in the future. Judgment day is on this card. Occasionally, Judgement can appear when their is real joy and freedom. The placement of the Judgment card can also reflect changes in the future. This is the communication between two people and the examination of life. 

Judgement Love Reconciliation

In love and breakup readings judgment is associated with the harvest of one’s karma and that the other lover may challenge the nature of commitment. In love try to expect actions and choices right now. If you asked the question of whether you will get back with a previous lover the answer will be maybe after undergoing some transitions. There is a passion but also the pangs of disappointment.  there is still deep feelings about the demands of love,  there could be conflict and pain in the past but changes do appear on the horizon. The card is telling you that the relationship could work but revolution is needed and rebirth and rethink how you approach the relationship.

Judgement As Feelings

A potential partner is likely to have admonition for you if the Judgement card is drawn. You may see this card as a doorway into your own judgements. It offers in love that this person thinks of you, they are focused on your happiness. The great news is that through the jugements this person has pure feelings for you! Yes, they do! It is worth keeping an eye out for key flirting signals and because this is judgement the could be judging your actions. 

Judgement Reversed Meaning

The Judgement card is a good card to see in your reading even in the reversed position. When the card is reversed it indicates a more carefree time in your life and often will accompany a life-altering change in your life such as the birth of a child, a job advancement, or spiritual momentum. It tells you in this direction that you need to seize the day and think outside of the box. It is especially a warning about being too wishy-washy or indecisive. The time is now. You have the knowledge and power to complete your goals.

High Priestess Tarot Card Meaning

If you get this card popping up, no-one can work out what is going on or what you are thinking. There is a massive psychic vibe with her. The high priestess is the ultimate symbol of balance and manifestation. She is the card of secrets and affairs. If you receive the High Priestess in your reading then the time has come for you to understand the balance necessary to get what you want out of life. She is the mystery of the mother, of the moon and of life. The High Priestess is a guiding card, telling you that right now you are on a path of enlightenment. It can represent multiple aspects of your life showing a true understanding of your own wants and needs. Now is the time to follow on your instincts and trust that inner feeling. You know you better than anyone else and that means that you also know what is best for you. It is okay to seek advice from others but make sure that their wants for you are not overshadowing what your own heart tells you.
 

The deeper meaning of the High Priestess card is strong as sits in between two stone stone pillars symbolic of the negative life force) and symbolic of positive life force) - and this is YOU trying to balance the two. On her lap which is not visible on my tarot card is the Torah which means ‘Divine Law,’ something that isn’t meant for all to see. When you receive the High Priestess, you can expect the question to be around great mystery, which can be attainable if you allow yourself to practice listening to your intuition. This card is saying you must find time to quiet the mind and have patience as well as trust that the process will help you and then the truth will come over you like a sun rising over the horizon. This may take some time to perfect, as it is a practice like anything else, but the High Priestess is the manifestation of the desires of the Magician. She is the connecting force between the heavens and the Earth. Depend on her to bless your Will. Here is a tarot poem I have written about my card above, take in the words in order to understand the meaning.

The High Priestess in Love

The pomegranates behind the High Priestess are symbolic of feminine energy and the palm leaves are symbolic of masculine energy, thus also making her the ‘go to’ energy, this is the reminder that all energies around us are both masculine as well as feminine. This helps a lot when it comes to relationships. The High Priestess shows up when in Love someone does not know how you feel. Even deeper, when the High Priestess shows up in relation to a reading on love one must accept the possibility that not all is being seen in the relationship as you are suppose to. She helps solve issues where there is a disagreement between partners, she assists by providing intuition that enables partners to communicate and get to the center of the issue. The key always with the High Priestess is to know that she has something to tell you which is very important, that you will not understand without her assistance and then make sure to listen. In matters of the heart this is doubly important. To find out more about the high priestess in love readings click here

Warning: She Is The Affair Card

A note of warning with the High Priestess is that she can also be guiding you to seek out the truth in a relationship. If you have concern in your relationship it is exceptionally important to follow your instincts, but to do so in a way that is not a detriment to you or the relationship. Just because you have a feeling of insecurity does not mean that your partner is cheating on you. Often we are sensitive to specific issues but the situation is not as dire as it seems. Take advice from surrounding cards to get a clear idea of what is going on in love before acting or jumping to conclusions.

Depending on the love reading, I sometimes call this card “the Inappropriate affair warning” card. To me, this card represents a passionate relationship but sometimes morally “wrong” relationship. Think of: your best friend's husband, that married guy next door, or the old Manager you worked with. 

Maybe a situationship or simply more about wanting someone to be more than they can be, emotional-availability wise. When we are afraid of intimacy, we may choose Mr. or Ms. emotionally unavailable. If the focus of our affection is an emotional stuff that is going on with you right now.

The High Priestess As Feelings

Despite being an elegant lady, she holds all her cards close to her chest. When asking about feelings, this card has this energy. The feelings can get lost in the dark with her, secret passages, not replying to texts and locked diaries. When things go wrong for her, she asks "who's fault is this?". Her true feelings are hidden from you. When you ask the tarot cards "what he feels about you", he stays silent. In his mind, he likely feels that he wants to "tilt" the balance in some way, and that he knows what you are thinking from his inner knowing and psychic understanding. 

In many ways this card represents the feelings of a platonic relationship but also that the potential lover is willing to explore that beyond the friendship realms. The high priestess is in charge, but her feelings fluctuate, as if in a cycle. Like the moon phases, or seasons. A reversed high priestess for feelings is linked to Isis (the Virgin) and can show that self-sacrifice is coming.

The High Priestess As Love Reconciliation

It is common, very common to worry about if someone feels the same way about us -- for a human being to feel this way, we often find ourselves re-visiting this state frequently. The High Priestess, on my tarot card is surrounded by blond hair wearing a moon crown, which is the symbol of insight and knowledge. Almost every smart person will know that we cannot force someone to do something we want. It can feel like your insides are being ripped out when our lover leaves. In drawing her, keep in mind that she is the teacher of both spiritual and physical mysteries. This image above is a representation of the journey of life and love experienced by people in tarot readings. It indicates that there is more to your life than meets the eye - it's time to dig deeper. This figure symbolizes the wisdom of knowing when to keep your feelings close while still maintaining a connection between two people. It's a reminder that sharing your innermost thoughts and emotions with someone can sometimes be hard, but that's part of what makes a relationship strong. She also stresses the importance of tolerance, comprehension, and receptivity - all of which are crucial aspects if you want to shack up with this person again.  Maybe --- just maybe you will get back together with someone after a separation or break up. The reason I mention this is because the high priestess knows about secrets --- and hardships when it comes to love but chooses to hide emotions. So thank your lucky stars she has appeared, because there is still a possibility that this love will return unexpectedly.

The High Priestess in Health

The High Priestess appears when it is necessary to focus on matters such as reproductive health. Due to her balancing abilities, she can be an excellent patron helper for birth control, or producing the proper reproductive hormones, balancing estrogen and testosterone. If there is confusion within this section of the body, ask the High Priestess for help to remove the shadows that darken that area so that the trouble can be brought to light.

The High Priestess in Work, Money, Business, Career, and Wealth

The High Priestess helps in matters of business and wealth in the sense that if you are about to get into a business with someone else, or are going through legal issues; she will help you to shed light on all that you are not aware of. This could mean paperwork that you need to sign that you weren’t aware of will come up, or the proper assistance to get your business up and running will just show up. Expect clarity and certainty in matters of business. The High Priestess clears out the sullied waters so that they shine with the vision of your future.

The High Priestess As An Action

There are times in our lives when we feel lost and uncertain, a tarot reading can help in these difficult times. As an action meaning, the High Priestess tarot card focuses on keeping secrets, pulling back, pausing, and observing. In some cases, being clueless can give us a fresh perspective and new insight into the unknown. By allowing harmony between our inner and outer worlds (our spiritual world), she allows us to turn inward and understand ourselves better. The High Priestess suggests you should take charge and listen to your inner voice. If you are feeling lost, don't hesitate to ask your “inner guide” assistance. You can always count on yourself to guide you back on track. Intuition, self-reflection, and awareness are all aspects of the meaning of the wonderful High Priestess Tarot card.

The High Priestess As A Person

In a tarot reading, the High Priestess represents someone who is highly intuitive and in touch with their spiritual side. If I am reading for a client I feel she is very wise and can provide guidance to others. As they keep their own counsel, they can also be very mysterious -- often not willing to share her emotions. To me, the High Priestess can represent someone who withholds information or who is secretive in reversed tarot readings. In my experience, the High Priestess tarot card can be interpreted in a few different ways, but most tarot readers agree that she is a knowledgeable, wisdom-filled individual. Despite living in her own little world, she doesn't need anyone's approval. Feelings of calm and peace can be represented by the High Priestess. There is often a transition or transformation happening in the life of the client when this card appears in a reading. We are reminded to trust our intuition and go with the flow when we meet the High Priestess.

The High Priestess As A Yes Or No

I feel that the High Priestess represents a “Yes” answer upright. Whenever I need a straight answer, I've always trusted this card when it has appeared in my reading. Like the character in the shining, I picture her as a blank canvas, guiding me with a gentle whisper. I have always relied on the high priestess as a “No” indicator when reversed. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to fully explain why I trust her in these matters, but I do. I find myself expecting her to appear for advice on anything from small decisions to big ones, somehow transferring energy from her blank canvas to mine. Whenever I need guidance...or at least someone to lean on when I feel uncertain, she has become a kind of omniscient character in my tarot readings and shines through. To find out more about the high priestess in love readings click here

The High Priestess In The Past Position

The High Priestess that appears in the past position of a tarot reading carries a long-held, popular belief that anything hidden was revealed by looking deeply enough. In order to better guide ourselves into the future, we should look back and reflect on our actions and intentions from the past. In order for us to create a more positive landscape for the future, she invites us to observe how far we have come and what elements from the past need to be changed or released. We can gain timeless wisdom through digging into her message, as well as understand how powerful this figure can be in inspiring strength and courage within all of us.

The High Priestess In The Present Position

A stunning blonde haired High Priestess appears on my tarot card with a slow and tranquil nature. She invites us to embrace the nervousness we might feel when contemplating the unknown; to be comfortable enough in our own skin to look deeply at ourselves and trust the insights we uncover. Trusting our intuition and following it without fear will lead us down a path of transformation and renewal. We are encouraged by the High Priestess' appearing in the present position during a tarot reading --- to take the time to understand everyone's feelings and follow life with patience and love.

The High Priestess In The Future Position

In a tarot reading, the high priestess in the future position indicates deep inner wisdom, reflection, and a connection to the celestial world. This card often represents the Egyptian goddess Isis - known as the mother of creation - and suggests that despite our inability to control our fate, we can move forward with confidence through contemplation and acceptance. It could be said that the High Priestess represents energy that moves slowly but surely in its own time. As with Isis, in the future, the card is telling you to trust your power and journey and you will move into your own destiny - you will be guided by deep inner wisdom when you draw her in the future or outcome position.

The High Priestess In The Family or Friendship Position

Drawing the high priestess in a friendship or family position is associated with relationships. It indicates that you need balance and harmony, according to the High Priestess tarot card. Her message may encourage family members to nurture their existing connections and listen to one another without judgment. Also, this card suggests encouraging communication and compromise among loved ones in order to avoid disharmony caused by disagreements or misunderstandings. I often see this card appear when there has been some conflict in the past. Our lives can be balanced and stabilized when we invest in meaningful relationships, as represented by the High Priestess tarot card. By investing time together or showing appreciation for one another, it may serve as a reminder in this spread position to nurture our friendships and not take them for granted.

 

The High Priestess In Reversed Position

When you receive the High Priestess in the reversed position, this is symbolic that you are completely detached from your intuition. Messages are being sent to you, but you are experiencing a block due to a lack of desire and momentum. The best advice that the High Priestess in Reverse has to offer is that it is time to open up your chakras and allow the spirit to move through you. Meditate, meditate, meditate!

Love and Romance - The High Priestess Reversed

Attraction is set to a high heat, but like flying too close to the sun, this lust comes with its own complications. Are the actions of your partner or a love interest hard to understand? It can seem that the motivations of others are unclear to you, like you’re seeing everything through a veil – leaving you feeling frustrated. You must practice extra consideration in such a moment as this, and don’t let any increased romantic attention distract you from thinking things through. If you meditate on the situation before, it is like planning your route before and adventure, everything goes more smoothly and makes the journey more enjoyable. It also means taking the time to forgive people where necessary - it is always better to forgive and forget than let yourself become bitter with resentment. All in all, the reversed priestess tells you to tread carefully in the romance department; don’t let impulses make big decisions for you. 

Family and Home - The High Priestess Reversed

Every family and home can swerve off-kilter at times, even the best holiday location must weather the occasional storm. When the High Priestess reversed appears in this type of reading it can highlight an undercurrent of discontentment within the family home. It may be that you, or someone else in the family, hasn’t been themselves recently. You should be wary of outside influences impacting the family dynamic – what’s haunting your family? Perhaps bickering and minor disagreements are making the home feel like a hostile place. You can try and placate the situation by taking time out to think things over and putting in place new boundaries that avoid conflict and make everybody feel comfortable; when you’re all ease, harmony will naturally restore like calm after the storm.

Work and Finances - The High Priestess Reversed

While you fix your eyes on the horizon, scheming and secrecy unravels behind your back. Could there be a double agent or a trickster in your midst? Be extra vigilant with your finances and be sure that no one is being deceitful in your place of work. If you are currently considering making a big financial commitment, such as buying a home or going on holiday, make sure you have full clarity and disclosure before proceeding. Verifiable information is the best way to avoid any suspicious activity that might be going on behind your back at present. If you are, yourself, acting in a shady manner at work - you should watch your step. Someone may be savvy to your secrets. The best route forward for you now is honesty and transparency, the priestess reminds you that honesty is truly the best policy.

Health and Wellness - The High Priestess Reversed

The picture is in front of you, but shapes are not seen - like looking at the sky without a telescope, you’re lacking detail and clarity in the picture of your health. Now may be the time to book in a check-up and look for signs of anything that feels different or unusual. If you have already had a medical check-up recently you should seek a second opinion, this reversed card suspects everything isn’t as it seems. Do not panic, but remember that sometimes even small things are best addressed early. 

Don’t forget wellness extends to your mental state too - if you’ve been dealing with repressed emotions now may be the time to seek out a therapist to work through these feelings, like changing your bedsheets, it will make you feel better. Working through your old problems will make you feel better and help you move forward with your life. And, don’t forget, you should always supplement any medical and mental attention you receive with a healthy lifestyle to maximize its positive impact – like taking vitamins to enhance your diet. 

The High Priestess Reversed - Personal Spirituality

I always find that when the card comes out for our own personal growth or spirituality then something is blocked. This is likely unintentional, perhaps you have become wrapped up in daily life and have been missing the signals? This card, is urging you to pay extra attention to messages from your subconscious, they may come in the form of dreams or stray thoughts - your angels are probably trying to tell you something, you simply need to listen.
