Judgement
The Judgement card represents the completion of a difficult phase or crisis and the emergence into a new level of well-being and development. This opportunity must be seized with both hands, like catching a magical firebird by its tail, as hesitation will cause it to fly away never to return. Like the mythical bird that brings both blessing and potential doom to its captor, the card promises either transformation for those who succeed or terrible judgment and ashes from burned deeds for those who fail to rise to the challenge.

Meaning
The completion of a difficult stage or crisis and emergence onto a new level of well-being and development, which must be grasped with both hands, as if catching a magical firebird by its tail. Otherwise, if one hesitates too long, it will fly away and never return. Just as this mythical bird serves as both a blessing and harbinger of doom for its captor, so too does this card promise something different for those who cannot cope – terrible judgment and ashes from burned deeds.
Visual Description
A large golden phoenix-like bird dominates the frame with wings spread and long, flowing tail feathers that resemble trailing flames. A crown-like crest sits on its head and the Roman numeral XX is placed above it. The background is a dark, star-speckled sky with scattered large stars and a sense of swirling motion. A white ribbon at the bottom bears the printed word "JUDGEMENT".
