Judgementfor Cancer

"You've been holding your own trial long enough."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
Almost at the end of your journey, the judgement card calls us to look back on what we have done and evaluate it. Taking in the good, the bad and the neutral. Judgement, in particular the word itself, is not always effective, but understanding and feeling compassion for all parts of our past is an important part of loving ourselves.
A moment of reflection, calling you to look back at your past, evaluate it, and then release yourself from it. Don't be obsessive over your failures, but rather see what you can learn from them and then let them go. They have been judged and you can move onto the next thing. Things from your past might be coming to the surface (hurtful comments said in anger might be playing in your mind, an ex might reappear, someone you hurt might come across your feed)
You are being hypervigilant or avoidant about the things in your past you wish would die. This is giving them power over you in a way you cannot fathom. You must feel your emotions so that you can let them go (don't call your ex, but rather accept you miss them and make a commitment to truly release them)

Judgement for Cancer
The Nurturer
Cancer is a Water cardinal sign ruled by Moon, whose natural subject is home, roots, family, the private interior. Pluto works on a longer clock than Moon-ruled Cancer is used to. Whatever this is, it will not resolve on Cancer's preferred timeline. Cancer is cardinal: it starts things, and this card is about finishing, so the pull will be to begin something new instead. Upright, this is surfacing whether or not it was invited.
