Reversed Meaning
Keywords:
Lack of Self Awareness – False Accusations – Self Doubt – Indecisiveness
Ignoring The Call
As a Person:
The Judgement card reserved represents someone who has no awareness of their own behaviors or the affects they have on the world around them. Because of this, they regularly blame everything but themselves for the outcomes. They take no accountability when things don’t turn out as they’d like. They doubt themselves and everyone around them. They have trouble making decisions and often miss out on great things because they’re afraid to move forward. They are unable to see the bigger picture of life and where they fit in it so they live life in fear and confusion instead.
As a Situation/Experience:
As a situation the Judgement card reversed is a time that is filled with doubt and confusion. You may be judging yourself too harshly and cannot move forward because you are too focused on what you consider to be failures of your past. You may be ignoring the call of your soul which is trying to lead you where you need to go. You feel stuck and unsure of what to do. Like you can feel the answer of what to do is near by but it seems to always stay just out of your reach. All the while your soul is encouraging you to keep reaching for it
As Advice:
The Judgement card reversed reminds us that we need to take time to self-reflect and let ourselves see through the doubt we have created in our lives. Where have we judged ourselves too harshly? How can we be kinder to ourselves and forgive the actions of our past that feel like mistakes? When are we going to accept that there are not mistakes, only lessons and its our responsibility to allow the ourselves to learn the lessons instead of hiding from them? It is time to heed the call. Move towards a better understanding of yourself. Positive and negative sides. Move forward with confidence. You are being guided as you do. And you are loved for the perfectly imperfect being you are. Just as we all are.
