The card source is from the Victorian Tarot, which is one of my favorites.
The Judgment:
Change has been coming your way for a while now and today you may see the first explicit features of it. What happens today is only a beginning and you may look back in a few days/weeks/months and recognize that your life is in the process of making a turn for the better. It's the nature of life to not stay the same, and you are being moved forward now.
The Poets:
Emily Dickinson
There are at least two judgment poems that I remember--"Judgment is Justest"--a great pun on the interchangeability of these words; "Departed to the Judgment" is the other.
Walt Whitman
My judgments, thoughts, I henceforth try by the open air, the road--Leaves of Grass
Shakespeare
Sonnet XIV
Not from the stars do I my judgment pluck;
And yet methinks I have astronomy,
But not to tell of good or evil luck,
Of plagues, of dearths, or seasons' quality;
Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell,
Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind,
Or say with princes if it shall go well,
By oft predict that I in heaven find:
But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive,
And, constant stars, in them I read such art
As truth and beauty shall together thrive,
If from thyself to store thou wouldst convert;
Or else of thee this I prognosticate:
Thy end is truth's and beauty's doom and date.

FREEWRITING ON JUDGMENT:
Keep a precarious balance--loss of balance--judgment balances--Libra--weighted scales--laurel wreath--red scarf and sword--rocks and chasm--read/red hair--yellow flower. Why the bare breasts--figurehead of justice on a ship?--liberty and justice for all is not for all.
And after me the judgment.
(As in Satchel Paige's something may be gaining?)
