Arcanum 20 (Judgement) in the Matrix of Destiny: Meaning, Plus, Minus, Positions

Arcanum 20 (Judgement): the Archetype and the Essence

The archetype of arcanum 20 is Awakening and a second chance. The Twentieth arcanum is awakening, reappraisal and a second chance. Judgement calls a person to their true vocation and gives the chance to begin again. This is the arcanum of awareness, forgiveness and rebirth. For a person with a "twenty", it is important to forgive themselves, to let go of the past and to follow their calling. This is not a "good" or a "bad" arcanum: every energy has a resourceful and a distorted side, and the task is to turn arcanum 20 towards the plus.
