How to read tarot cards series–Judgement (Major Arcana)
Judgement is a pretty hard card to interpret. It usually indicates a big change and involves stepping into something which is totally new. It can also be interepreted as a need to make a final decision in order to have a new life. Obviously, this involves hard decisions. However, this card advises one to take charge of your own life and make the decision to change if you really have to.

Tarot Story
The Fool leaves the garden of the Sun and feels that he is near the end of his journey. He feels ready to take a final step. However, he feels that something is holding him back and he looks up to the Sun, hoping to find guidance. However, all he gets is just a fierce angel who looks beautiful but angry.
The Angel told the Fool that he has only one step before he completes his journey. However, unless he lets his past rest, the Fool will not be able to complete the journey. The Fool feels confused as he is under the impression that he has already let his past rest.
The Angel hands a small trumpet to the Fool. Hesitantly, the fool blows the trumpet and the trumpet’s song schoes across the sky and the vibrations seem to crack the Earth.
The Fool feels like there is nothing for him to fear and there is no point in carrying the past with him. He is truly enlightened now and really feels the importance of letting go.
Do all in all, the Judgement is a card which encourages one to move on and not to carry the past with himself or herself if one really wants to start a new life. This card encourages chane but it also implies that the Querent must be willing to let go.
