Judgement
Judgment represents a reckoning and an ending that sets the stage for a new journey. It emphasizes that past actions and decisions determine future events, and that failure to learn lessons leads to repeated mistakes. Upright, it calls for improvement, forgiveness, a change of perspective, absolution, and rebirth. Reversed, it warns of oppression, a lack of self-awareness, failure, repeated mistakes, and self-loathing, urging honest self-reflection and accountability.

Visual Description
A monkey-like figure in red and black clothing stands on swirling orange clouds, holding a long staff and facing a large radiant sun bearing a stylized lotus. Rays of light fan out from behind the sun, and the Roman numeral "XX" appears above it; the word "Judgement" is printed at the bottom of the card. Green, rounded mountain peaks and misty valleys recede into the background while decorative borders frame the scene. The palette is warm with peaches, oranges and soft greens, and a small artist signature appears near the lower right cloud.
