Judgement
The Judgement card depicts an angel sounding a horn that awakens figures rising from coffins, symbolizing resurrection and rebirth. It calls for heeding the spirit's summons to return to the source and move on from past states. Astrological and elemental correspondences (Fire, Scorpio, Pluto) and the Hebrew letter Shin (meaning 'tooth') reinforce themes of transformation and forceful change. Upright it advises embracing the call to change; reversed it warns against resisting the call, withdrawing from others, or holding yourself back.

XX - Judgement
Description
An angel with short hair raises their head to blow into a golden horn. A flag with a red sign rolls in the wind. Six coffins rise up from the water below, and six figures stand up. Two men, two women, and two children stand out from the boxes to look at the angel above them. They stretch out their arms and praise the call. Mountains jut out in the distance past the horizon. Clouds obscure parts of the angel and the sun, which dimly illuminates the world below.

Visual Description
A great winged angel descends through clouds, blowing a trumpet and holding a white flag bearing a red cross; the Roman numerals XX appear at the top. A halo surrounds the angel's head and rays of light fall through the mist. Below, naked figures — men, women and children — rise from water or graves with arms raised toward the angel. Mountains and a sombre landscape form the distant background and a parchment banner with Cyrillic script appears at the bottom.
