Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: A need to return to the lesson of the previous card in the sequence (an idea of Paul Fenton-Smith).
Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the Judgment card suggests that you may not be heeding the call to wake up and change the direction of your life. If you reject this opportunity to become reanimated, you may end up stagnating and feel stuck in a rut. Perhaps your reluctance is due to fear of change, a sense of regret, or feelings of self-recrimination. Ponder the biblical verse: ‘Except a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone: but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit’ (John 12:24, King James 2000 Version).

Tarot Triumphs: Then, bearing the question in mind, study the cards and see what the combination of the three brings to your mind. Speak when you’re ready. This is where you really take the plunge! Remember that it’s the connection between you, the querent, and the cards that generates the reading. Use your knowledge of Tarot as a foundation; try to put preexisting judgments about the person out of your mind, and allow the story to surface. Note that we haven’t set up any time parameters, so you are looking at the triad of cards as an entity, rather than seeing them as past, present, or future. (We will come to that shortly, both later in this chapter and in chapter six.) It’s fine to ask a question or two if you need to. For instance, if the Chariot turns up, you might want to find out if the person has any travel plans in mind, since not every appearance of the Chariot will indicate travel, even though it can be one strong association with that card.
