Tarot Tuesday 5/13/25: Judgement

Queen of Swords - The Field Tarot

5/13/25
Tarot Tuesday ~ Judgement

Not surprisingly, the Judgement card shows up right on the heels of a deeply intense Full Moon! Judgement is the ultimate card of releasing & letting go of attachments—often related to one’s identity; those that keep us locked in a comfort zone that’s not in our long-term best interest, giving only a "perceived" sense of safety.

It is also a card about rebirth—being born again and embracing a new version of yourself. There’s a very transformative energy occurring—especially with yesterday’s Full Moon in the water sign of Scorpio, along with the early stages of Pluto retrograde. Judgement is the second-to-last Major Arcana card in the Fool’s Journey, and it summons us to step up to the plate-- abandoning fear & self-doubt at last.

Notice what comes up for you this week: especially the things that we might prefer to turn away from. What if you released judgement about how things were “supposed” to be, or how you “should or should not have” reacted?

Themes of deep healing, emotional release, death, grief, personal & generational trauma, etc., highlight the need to surrender & trust in the higher purpose & calling of our soul’s journey. All of this, for the purpose of healing both the past, present, & future, so that we can step into our most authentic versions of ourselves, unencumbered by the weight of the past.. or fear of the future.
