AdviceTake stock and answer what is calling you.
What it means
In Judgement, an angel blows a trumpet and the figures rise from their graves with open arms. It is the card of rebirth and of taking stock: looking back, learning from what you have lived, forgiving and answering a call. It announces an important decision, made with a new awareness, and the chance to start again in better conditions.
In love
Reconciliation, a second chance or a mature decision about the future of the relationship.
At work and with money
An assessment, a promotion or a calling that becomes clear. A moment to answer what you really want to do.
Do you have a question for the cards?
Choose a reader and a spread: one card, three, or the full Celtic Cross.
