Judgment
Judgement is a fascinating card that speaks of the end of a cycle. Consequences (good and bad) are being fully revealed. You may be revisiting the past and be drawn to something you thought was done and gone.
It is also, originally in Marseille, the card of the messenger and communications.
Judgement's Meaning & Messages
Judgement could be, in short, the card for Mercury Retrograde. It's all about the past, i.e its consequences on your now, the results you were hoping for, the news you were waiting on etc.
We may find ourselves thinking about the possibilities and opportunities we still see locked in our past experiences and try to make them come to life.

In the RWS Tarot, the archangel is believed to be Gabriel or Michael, but in earlier Renaissance versions, there were either 2 Angels or even a God like figure.
In most depictions, the resurrected dead are naked, ready for a brand new cycle, free from their past mistakes and beliefs.
