Judgement

Judgement is the trumpet that calls you to rise. A chapter of your life has ended so thoroughly that you are standing outside it now, hearing yourself summoned to something you did not know you had been preparing for. Forgive what you can. Answer the call you hear.

Reversed, Judgement shows self-doubt, ignoring a calling, or unresolved guilt that keeps you from rising. You know what the right next step is and you are hesitating. The trumpet does not stop sounding just because you close your ears; the call waits.

✦ The Illustration

An angel with outspread wings blows a golden trumpet hung with a banner bearing a fire-colored cross. Three figures rise from coffins floating on a sea of becoming, arms lifted in answer to the sound.

✦ Affirmation

“I hear the call, I forgive what is past, and I rise.”
