The Judgement card speaking literally.

Sometimes the simple answer is the best answer.

Sometimes what you see is exactly what you get.

Sometimes a leaf is just a leaf.

Please bear with me this morning, as I am less sharp than usual having slept very little last night.

The Judgement card has paid me a visit twice in the span of a few days.

Some of my interpretations for the card are the following.

Waking up to a reality that has changed.
Coming to terms with the fact that we have changed.
The realization that a decision has already been made.
Hearing our internal voice prodding us to follow a dream and finally going for it.
Surrender, rebirth, atonement.

I was reflecting on the card this morning while having breakfast when it finally hit me. As I said, my mind is a bit foggy today.

Last night, for the second time in the span of a few days, a car parked on the road woke me up again and again.
The car alarm went on and off for hours from 1:00 a.m. to 3:30 a.m.

Therefore, being woken up is a good literal meaning for the Judgement card.
