This card displays your obvious identity, the part of you that everyone knows.

XX – Judgement

Judgement is the call for awakening, renewal, and reckoning. It signals a time of reckoning with the past, a moment of judgement that clears the way for a fresh start and new direction.

Symbolism: The angel blowing the trumpet signals a divine call to action, summoning figures from their tombs to rise and transform. The symmetrical composition emphasises the balance between life and death, while the golden glow underscores the sacred nature of the awakening. The figures' age gap represents a new life, renewed through divine grace.

In Relationships: Judgement invites you to release past hurts and transform your relationships. It calls for honesty, introspection, and a fresh start in emotional matters.

In Work: A moment of reckoning, where past actions may come to light. This card suggests an opportunity for reinvention, a chance to leave behind outdated modes of working and embrace new ways.

Spiritually: Judgement calls for spiritual awakening and enlightenment. It asks you to evaluate your choices and rise to your higher calling.

When ill-dignified: Denial, resistance to transformation, or an inability to face the truth. This may indicate emotional or spiritual stagnation, or the refusal to heed the call of renewal.

 

 

 

 

This card shows unconscious driving forces that neither you nor your company is aware of about you. This is the Great Unknown.

Eight of Cups

The Eight of Cups represents emotional departure, seeking something deeper, and the decision to walk away from what no longer serves you. It speaks to the need for introspection and self-discovery, as you leave behind the superficial in search of deeper meaning.

Symbolism: The eight chalices in staggered rows suggest a gradual departure or transition. The placement emphasises movement and emotional progression. The ornate details of the cups reflect the emotional investment required to make this decision.

In Relationships: A decision to move on from a relationship or emotional situation that no longer fulfils you. This card represents a quest for deeper connection or personal growth.

In Work: Leaving behind a job or situation that no longer aligns with your values or goals. The Eight of Cups suggests you are ready to pursue something more meaningful.

Spiritually: The journey towards deeper spiritual fulfilment. This card invites you to leave behind outdated beliefs or practices in search of greater understanding.

When ill-dignified: Running away from emotional problems or avoiding growth. The Eight of Cups warns against making impulsive decisions or leaving before you've fully processed emotions.

XI – Strength

Strength symbolises courage, patience, and the mastery of inner power. It reflects the triumph of compassion and self-control over brute force.

Symbolism: The figure's calm restraint of the lion reflects the balance of strength and gentleness. Her finely detailed garments and the rendering of the lion's mane reflect Renaissance artistry, while the golden background elevates the scene to a symbolic level.

In Relationships: A time to practise patience and understanding. Strength signals harmony through compassion.

In Work: Success through persistence and confidence. Strength encourages inner resolve rather than aggressive tactics.

Spiritually: Strength represents mastering the ego and cultivating inner peace through compassion.

When ill-dignified: Aggression, self-doubt, or weakness. It warns against succumbing to fear or forceful behaviours.
