One question seems to come up again and again among tarot readers: Which card do you find the hardest to interpret? More often than not, myself included, the answer is Judgement. At first glance, the card seems straightforward. An angel sounds a trumpet. People rise from their graves. And then there’s the name itself: Judgement. […]
Ask someone to describe a great leader, and you’ll likely hear words like visionary, charismatic, decisive, or powerful.
