Judgement

You have the power to make changes and feel complete.

General Meaning

The Judgement card, sometimes called “Resurrection,” represents the great reunion that the ancients believed would happen once in every age. This was the time when souls are harvested and taken home to their place of origin, outside the solar system. Then the world is seeded with a batch of new souls and the process starts over.

From a modern point of view, this great reunion — which includes every personality that you have ever been and every soul that you have done deep work with — reunites to consciously complete the process. In a way, we symbolically celebrate this returning to center every year on our birthday.

In personal terms, the Judgment Tarot card points to freedom from inner conflicts, and so clear a channel, that the buried talents and gifts of past incarnations can come through an individual in this lifetime. This card counsels you to trust the process of opening yourself, because what emerges is of consistently high quality. You can effortlessly manifest as a multi-dimensional being, and assist in evoking that response from others.

In the Advice Position

Let go of your past. The future welcomes you with a bounty of growth and change.

The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.

The Judgment card advises that you allow yourself to grow, transform, and release hidden potentials within yourself. Divest yourself of fruitless endeavors without neglecting your duties. At the same time, invest your energies in new growth.

It’s not necessary to reject others, but refuse to be manipulated by those who cry foul. This process isn’t about them anyway. It is about you and the desire you feel to change your life and become a more complete person. Trust your impulses and allow this remarkable awakening to happen.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, March 29th

Aries

Jupiter forms a square to Pluto today, dear Aries, and has been in influence since November and will stick around until August. Its themes are bigger today and this week because of its exact aspect today. Mounting pressures to perform are likely part of the picture now, and this comes at a time when you also want to spend a lot of time with others. Refusing to play by the rules in close relationships and your professional life may be a theme, but if you’re bored with excessive tradition or structure, you might consider breaking out in constructive ways. Look for the means to do a real overhaul of an area of your career now, but try not to put unreasonable pressures on a relationship or yourself to do it to the point of exhaustion. There may be a conflict arising that seems to pit partnership against career, and a compromise should be sought. Alternatively, goals of a relationship and long-term plans can conflict, or you feel unsupported as you pursue your ambitions. It’s particularly important to tone things down and avoid overreaching – tendencies now that are likely to trip you up. Yes, you want to do it all, but moderation is important now.

Taurus

In November, Jupiter and Pluto formed a square, and today, they return to this same aspect, dear Taurus. They’ll do so again in August, but with the exact aspect now, you’re likely to feel a resurgence of pressure today and this week. The key to handling this influence is to recognize where your expectations have become so overblown that you are putting too much pressure on yourself or others (or both). This influence may convince you that you need much more than what you already have. Avoid setting unreachable goals, and if they’ve formed without your conscious awareness, consider shaving them down. Because this influence pits sectors ruling routines and adventure against one another, you can feel quite a bit of pressure to go hard in both your work and duties and your personal interests and life experiences. However, something has to give! For some, holding on too tightly to a belief system or culture may be a sign that you’re probably missing something in your life that’s very much worth exploring. Watch for exaggeration and obsession now and keep things real, but look within for answers as to what you may be genuinely missing. Moderation is the way to go. That can be a tall order today with the Moon also in your sign, but it’s your best bet right now.

Gemini

Jupiter and Pluto formed a square in November, and they’re revisiting this tense aspect today, dear Gemini. They’ll do so one more time before moving on (in August). Today and this week, you may be feeling pressures mounting in your creative world, life with children, or in your love relationships. Relationships that have become too stale or humdrum can get to you now – you seem to be struggling with the level of intensity you want from your relationships. Self-awareness is important through all of this, as you may end up stirring unnecessary conflict otherwise. You are craving more from your relationships, but you can be divided about what that actually means. Sharing and power dynamics can get tricky when you’re not sure what you want – or what others want from you! You might also concern yourself with money matters today, and if so, aim to put yourself on solid footing rather than pressure yourself to do everything in a short period. There is a real tendency to go overboard or to do too much too soon but try not to fall for the illusion that more is better. Today’s Moon is in your privacy sector, and it can help to lay low and reflect on matters now.

Cancer

A Jupiter-Pluto aspect that first formed in November returns to exactness today, dear Cancer. Today and this week, you can feel some real pressures in your close relationships, and perhaps some difficulty getting your family and relationships on the same boat or goals to cooperate. With this influence, it’s particularly important to watch for areas where you or others have been overshooting or putting too much pressure on something to work a certain way – it can be extremely obsessive, and to our detriment! Try not to rush your goals, even though you can be feeling especially ambitious now. Competitiveness can help push you, but if it goes too far, it can only serve to frustrate and exhaust. For some, your needs for stability and emotional excitement can feel at odds. It can be difficult to satisfy both needs at once, and it can be all too easy to act out as a result. Control issues in a partnership can frustrate now. Try not to put pressure on yourself to resolve everything immediately. However, do consider ways to manage troubled areas of your life better. Moderation may be the key.

Leo

If you’ve been pushing too hard, you’ll feel it acutely now, dear Leo. Jupiter and Pluto first formed an exact square in November, and now that they meet again, tensions related to overreaching can surface. Pressures to produce or go hard with self-care and healthy living can lead to the point of feeling overwhelmed, especially in light of your personal interests or studies. Try to pace yourself with work and health goals. The desire to succeed in your work is powerful, but you may need to come to a better balance between duties and learning and pace yourself so that you can pursue your goals with less stress and pressure. Both areas of life can compete leaving you exhausted, so do your best to aim for moderation. Taking on too much is unlikely to take you closer to your goals, or if it does, it can drain you to the point that you won’t even enjoy the victory! Especially when it comes to your adamant desire to improve your health, pressure to do so can end up working against you. The Moon is at the top of your chart and aligns with Mars today, also stimulating your ambitions — and impatience!

Virgo

There can be a lot of ambition, or perhaps even obsession with your creative projects, hobbies, recreational pursuits, or a romance these days, dear Virgo, but there can also be a strong desire to play things safe or retreat into your comfort zone. This conflict of interests can present a small challenge now with Jupiter and Pluto forming a square – an influence that first occurred in November and that will form again in August. Taking a creative risk is attractive but daunting all at once. Watch for going overboard with money and pleasure-seeking, or for working so hard towards a goal that you forget to enjoy the process of getting there! Tensions in or about love can also surface now, particularly if you are putting all your eggs in one basket. The tendency is to want to pamper yourself, but this might also stimulate some tension about money. Watch for overdoing too many areas of your life and for setting up unrealistic goals for yourself that stress you out rather than motivate you. You may not be able to reach your goals as quickly as you’d expected, but you can take some steps towards them now. As difficult as this may be at the moment, aim for moderation. The Moon in your adventure sector aligning with Mars can stimulate a real desire for adventure or non-routine experiences today.

Libra

Nurture your ambitions to grow, expand, and make improvements, dear Libra, but give yourself time to do these things. You can feel quite a bit of pressure to push yourself forward now, but the changes you crave won’t happen overnight, so approach things in steps rather than stressing yourself out. Jupiter and Pluto form a square today, as they did in November, and this presents a challenge that may very well manifest as an inner conflict. You might wrestle with a need to stick with the familiar or with family responsibilities and the desire to spread your wings, explore, and venture out with full confidence in yourself. You may be trying too hard to make things perfect rather than simply enjoying what’s in front of you, and this may be the reason behind over-thinking things. With Jupiter in your sign these days, you thrive on certain personal freedoms. You might also want more control over your family and home environment, or you may be dealing with disapproval from family members, but you may need to loosen your grip a little to take better care of yourself and devote some time to personal goals and plans. You’re feeling everything a bit more intensely today, so keep this in mind before making significant decisions.

Scorpio

Jupiter and Pluto form a square today, dear Scorpio. This aspect first occurred in November and will complete in August. It’s a complex combination, especially since your ruler, Pluto, is involved. However, if you play your cards right, you can use it as motivation to improve and grow. You can feel a strong desire to produce, but it’s imperative that you keep things at least somewhat moderate or else life will become far too chaotic to get anything substantial done. You want to get on top of your projects, to produce, and to reach learning goals, but a simultaneous desire to lay low, rest, and attend to emotional needs can compete. Resolve to make improvements to your life in the areas that are frustrating you, and avoid taking on too much at once. The pitfalls of this combination are overreaching, exaggeration, and unrealistically high expectations. If your goals are motivating, then you’re in good shape, but if they are stressing you out, you need to adjust them. Today, partnerships can be animated.

Sagittarius

There can be exaggerated reactions and tensions today with Jupiter and Pluto forming an exact square, dear Sagittarius. This aspect first formed in November and is with us until August. There can be intensity surrounding financial matters, issues of respect, personal possessions, and boundaries now. Your thinking on these things is neither impartial nor objective, so you may want to wait to make major decisions. However, if tension motivates you to make necessary changes, then you’re in a good position. While you sense that change is necessary, however, you may worry about your security. There is a need to rise above these fears for growth to happen, particularly in your social life and ventures. This can be a time when you’re driven to reach a goal, but you’re setting the bar too high, or expecting results far too soon. You might also be going a little too hard in your social life or going overboard in a business or with spending, to the detriment of other areas of your life. Watch carefully for obsessive attention to particular pursuits. Look for ways to center yourself and remind yourself that you can’t make all the changes you’d like to make all at once.

Capricorn

Jupiter at the top of your chart stimulates your desire to grow, expand, and improve your goals and career, dear Capricorn, but its square to Pluto today can renew a conflict that began in November related to your personal needs and plans. This Jupiter-Pluto square can point to excesses, immoderation, and overreaching, but if you can tone things down, you can also use it motivate you to new heights. While it can be beneficial to pay attention to your image and reputation, resist the urge to maneuver these things excessively and work on self-control instead. Finding a balance between attention to your personal and professional lives is necessary now for optimum success. The desire to push personal plans ahead can run high but be willing to pace yourself, or you’ll be heading to a state of burnout. The tendency can be to want to do it all. You are a highly capable person, but you’re also human! Avoid taking on so much that you don’t get a chance to enjoy the process of reaching your goals. The Moon meets Mars in your romance and creativity sector today, stimulating creative urges and passions.

Aquarius

Jupiter forms a square to Pluto today, dear Aquarius, and while this longer-term aspect has been with you since November, its themes can be quite intense this week. You can be wavering between wanting to keep to yourself or cling to the past, and desiring to move beyond your usual boundaries to share and connect. Restlessness can take hold now if you’re expecting far too much of yourself when you’re not quite ready to take on something new. However, you instinctively know that you should aim to overcome fears so that you can reach higher. You can be quite preoccupied with people and situations from the past today, and with so much going on below the surface, you’re not always aware of how your feelings are affecting your actions. Recognize that the frustrations you are currently facing can help you to redefine yourself in a positive way, and allow the process to unfold rather than attempt to push things too fast. Take steps towards resolving this inner conflict, and avoid piling up more plans than you can reasonably handle. Pacing yourself is your best bet now, even if you feel that life is running ahead of you at times these days.

Pisces

With Jupiter and Pluto meeting by way of a challenging square aspect today, dear Pisces, a conflict or tension can come to a head now, likely related to your relationships. It can be a somewhat tricky period for financial and emotional ties, and concerns related to indebtedness, intimacy, and friendship can surface now. You may be feeling more joy through deeper connections and commitments these days, but frustrations related to friends and more casual setups may be raining on your parade. Personal plans, social pursuits, and demanding connections to friends or groups may conflict with your enjoyment of time to yourself or time spent with a partner. Complex power dynamics in your relationships can weigh heavily on your mind now. Avoid taking on more plans, projects, and responsibilities at this time, and exercise patience as you look for creative ways to improve your resources. The tendency now is to add more to our plates to resolve feelings of unrest, but this can backfire. Examine what might be the root of your discomfort. An urgent desire to get ahead can be part of the package today with heavy Pluto energy in the air, but rushing things leads to big mistakes. Aim for moderation while maintaining your eye on improvement and growth.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, March 29th

Aries

There can be some ups and downs as you wrestle with reality or expectations today, dear Aries. However, you can find it quite natural to ease into a realistic, constructive frame of mind, knowing that decisions will improve this way. Following through on a project you left unfinished can be satisfying now. Long-term projects begun today are likely to have longevity. You may be able to explain your ideas, beliefs, or a concept in real terms with great results. It’s a good time to do catch-up work, and this can be on actual work or reading, personal interests, or studies. This is a time for benefiting from attention to details.

Taurus

You are in a good position to team up with someone to get things done, dear Taurus, or for enjoying shared activities and a feeling of being in sync with others now. There may be a minor disappointment to deal with, but this can lead to a sense of firming up and securing your life in key ways that feels fabulous. You are looking for results rather than ideas. You can channel your mental energies into something worthwhile, and you’re particularly objective on an emotional level, even with the Moon in your sign drawing out your emotions. This is a good time for clear thinking about a personal matter.

Gemini

You may go to great lengths to help someone understand your point of view today, dear Gemini. It’s, in fact, a great time for scoring points with others, particularly along the lines of expressing your commitment or loyalty and coming through for them. You might enjoy a reinforcing, supportive alliance or conversation that builds your confidence in your values and makes you feel a little more hopeful about the future. There can be a nice feeling of camaraderie today that is neither overdone nor subtle – it feels very real. It’s easier to find answers to problems when you share them today.

Cancer

This is a great day to show your more responsible side, dear Cancer, particularly through your work, services, or leadership. Mercury hooks up nicely with responsible Saturn, linking your work and vocation sectors and stimulating a feeling of quiet confidence in what you’re doing and a sense of mission or purpose. This boosts your productivity. Others take note of what you say and any advice you may give. Part of your appeal revolves around your maturity and ability to live in the here and now. It’s a fabulous day for making long-term plans and detailed lists of what you want to accomplish.

Leo

While there may be some distractions or adjustments of expectations to deal with today, dear Leo, you are in great shape for seeing the road ahead more clearly. You may very well find it easy and useful to slip into a productive and realistic state of mind. Especially when it comes to goals related to expressing yourself creatively and romantically, as well as regarding mind-expanding activities, you’re in a good position to make long-term plans. Assessing what you can achieve in realistic terms makes all the difference now, leading to the right decisions. You might thoroughly enjoy sharing your ideas or vision with others, teaching, and studying today.

Virgo

Today is quite useful for gaining clarity about a matter, dear Virgo, and it’s likely to relate to your emotional life – a family issue or your view of an intimate relationship. It’s a good time for long-term planning, particularly on economic levels or regarding family goals. Assessing matters realistically is the central theme of the day, and it can be very valuable, as it’s not every day that you can look reality in the eye and learn from the experience. Loans or practical ways to improve home life can be in the offing now. Certainly, practical projects can thrive now, but so can emotional ones as you feel more committed to the truth and stronger for seeing things for what they are, not only what you wish or fear them to be.

Libra

This is a good day for picking yourself up after a minor disappointment, dear Libra, and finding solutions to problems. It’s a great time for giving and receiving advice. You may be able to count on someone, and a partner can be an excellent sounding board for your ideas, although there can be some touchiness that could require extra sensitivity. Problems are best solved logically, step by step, and in an organized fashion today for best results. The more you tune out the fluff and tune into the facts, the more valuable and useful ideas and plans emerge.

Scorpio

While there can be a small disappointment to deal with today, dear Scorpio, you feel all the stronger as you consider the reality of a situation. Long-term financial planning or work-related strategies and organization can be very successful now. You’re able to spot the most valuable details and decision-making benefits. Logical answers to questions satisfy now, and you seek out reliable results and solid progress. You’re also particularly happy with meeting your responsibilities, and productivity benefits from a step by step approach. Your choices are practical and wise now.

Sagittarius

The better way to approach the day is in an organized manner, dear Sagittarius. Distractions may be plenty, but if you manage to tune them out, you can tune into a practical, useful theme that can help you work more diligently towards your goals. It’s a good time for diving into a project that requires attention to detail as well as a practical and realistic mindset. Focus can be on hobbies, creative projects, children, or romantic relationships and the practical side of these things. Conversations may not be very colorful, but they can be instructive and valuable. Keep things simple and methodical today for best results.

Capricorn

While you may be wrestling with expectations today, dear Capricorn, you can get to the point where common sense and a desire to plan ahead dominate. It’s a great time to put finishing touches on a special project, organizing the home, or for doing editing work. You feel better if you meet your responsibilities. Work in relative solitude can be productive now. This energy can also work on an emotional level, as you’re more objective and emotionally equipped to face issues that you would usually prefer to avoid or put off. Domestic matters benefit from a practical approach today.

Aquarius

You may be facing a reality today, dear Aquarius, but it feels good to have the facts before you. In fact, it can spur you on and put a fire under you to take care of business, get back on track in a particular area of your life, and meet a responsibility. Today is quite excellent for getting your message across and earning some respect. Your advice may be sought, or valuable information can be exchanged now. Your eye for details is pronounced and can be put to full use. Your communications are received well, and others can benefit from your expertise.

Pisces

There can be some see-sawing and confusion with you today, dear Pisces, but you should find it relatively easy to get into a reasonable and responsible frame of mind with Mercury and Saturn forming a harmonious aspect in your sectors of work, money, and resources. You’re in particularly good shape for financial planning, asking for a loan, or other constructive activities that help you improve your business and professional interests. A partner can be supportive and wise now, ready to help or offer good advice. Facing up to something you’ve neglected or avoided can be part of the picture now, but it’s empowering.

*A Garden Witchy Tip

Lavender comes in many varieties. If it’s classified as a “tender perennial,’ it may not survive cold winter climates. It grows best in full sun and along the edge of a sidewalk or driveway. It can be drough tolerant, but you’ll still have to keep it watered ocasionally so it will look and flower its best. Plant plenty of this wonderful-smelling herb—it’s great for sachets and dried flower arrangements, and it’s powerful magickal herb that encourages the transformation of your dreams to reality.

Magickal Plants Associated with Wednesday – The Fern

The fern is a traditional Witch’s garden plant. Ferns are herbs; they are perennials and prefer growing in the shade. There are over forty species of fern. Whether these are found growing in the wild or tucked into your backyard shade gardens, ferns are practical tical magickal plants. The fern has quite a bit of folk history behind it. It was thought that to grow ferns in the garden was lucky. Faeries were believed to jealously guard the fern, as ferns were thought to grant the power of invisibility. When a fern frond was carried on your person, it was thought to guide the wearer to hidden riches. On an interesting note, ferns are almost always used in fresh flower arrangements. Flower folklore tells us that adding ferns to a fresh flower arrangement increases the power and meanings of the individual blossoms, and it bestows protection on the recipient. In the language of flowers, the fern declares fascination and earnestness.
