Judgment as Evaluation
The judgment card can be like a cosmic command of “Put your pencils down and hand in your test.” How did you do? Did you learn the lessons that circumstances and challenges were designed to teach you? Or do you need another chance to learn them and integrate them into who you are? The time has come to assess where you are, what your standings are, what you accomplished, what you need to work on, and what comes next. This is not a harsh judgment. It is an evaluation of what you have accomplished on your personal path to enlightenment.
Judgment offers the opportunity to grow
If the assessment represented by the Judgment card indicates you have something to work on, remember, you have the opportunity to grow. You have the chance to take that next step. Are you taking it? Are you taking full advantage of the resources at your disposal? You have complete free will. Are you using your free will for the high road or the low? Are you using it to pursue highest and greatest good, or are you letting opportunities slip through your hands? Examine your circumstances. Appreciate the opportunities before you. Make the most of them. Aim high. Hear the call, then answer the call.
How do you know your assessment?
With Judgment representing an assessment, how do you know what your assessment is? You do this by considering where you want to be as contrasted by where you are. Have you achieved what you set to achieve? Are you respected as you feel you should be respected? Are you doing the things you would like to be doing? Do you feel good about who you are and how you relate to your environment and to others? If so, you can confidently say you have passed the assessment offered by the Judgment archetype. If something here is lacking, then there is more to work on. Work on it until it feels right to you. — Jim Larsen
