Archangel Gabriel, a divine messenger, is shown above blowing his trumpet, calling the souls to accountability and renewal. The card’s imagery signifies a moment of reckoning, where past actions are evaluated, and the potential for spiritual ascension is revealed.
The backdrop of an extensive mountain range represents the unyielding nature of life's trials and the inevitable approach of judgement, underscoring the theme that one cannot escape their ultimate evaluation. This card embodies the concept of karmic consequences, final assessment, and the potential for moving forward into a new phase of existence, emphasizing the cyclical nature of endings and new beginnings.
