Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post about “Judgement in Reverse Tarot,” written in the style of a mature, down-to-earth blogger sharing a personal experience:
So, I’ve been messing around with Tarot again lately. It’s kind of a weird hobby, I know, but it helps me clear my head, you know? Like a little mental decluttering session. Today, I was doing a simple three-card spread – past, present, future – and I pulled Judgement, but it was reversed.
Normally, Judgement is all about, well, judgement! It’s about reckoning, big decisions, a turning point. But flipped upside down? That throws a wrench in the whole thing.
First, I cleared my space. You gotta do that, right? Lit a little incense, put on some chill music. Nothing fancy, just setting the vibe. Then I shuffled the deck, really focusing on what’s been bugging me lately – mostly work stuff, feeling a bit stuck.
I laid out the cards. Past was some minor card, nothing remarkable. Present was pretty accurate, showing some current frustrations. But then… BAM. Judgement in reverse for the future. My gut reaction? “Oh, crap.”
My Interpretation Process
I didn’t jump to conclusions. Instead, I grabbed my well-worn notebook – seriously, this thing is falling apart – and started jotting down everything that came to mind about the card.
My notes are kind of messy, just stream of consciousness stuff.
- Reversed Judgement: Doubting myself?
- Ignoring my inner voice, my intuition.
- Maybe I’m afraid.
- Procrastinating on a decision.
- Stuck in self-criticism.
Looking at my notes, I started to connect the dots. The reversed Judgement wasn’t a bad omen, necessarily. It was more like a warning sign. A big, flashing, neon sign saying, “Hey! Pay attention!”
I realized I have been second-guessing myself a lot lately. There’s this project at work I’ve been putting off, making excuses. And yeah, there’s a healthy dose of fear mixed in there. Fear of failure, fear of making the wrong choice.
So, the reversed Judgement card, in this specific context, was telling me to stop being so hard on myself and to trust my gut. It wasn’t about some external judgement coming down on me, but my own internal struggles with self-doubt.
The card pulled me out my head. Instead of wallowing in indecision, It helps me to make list and consider the consequences. Action is always better than overthinking.
It’s still a work in progress, of course. But pulling that reversed Judgement card was a good kick in the pants. It reminded me to be mindful of my own thought patterns and to stop letting self-doubt paralyze me. It’s not about avoiding judgement altogether, but about making sure I’m judging myself fairly and constructively.
