Archangel Michael is warrior and defender of all whom are in need of protection. He represents righteousness, mercy and justice, and is also said to offer healing and support at times of important change. In the context of Judgement, Michael is seen when there is a call to rise to a more meaningful existence. Judgement symbolises integrity and truthful recognition of circumstance and past experiences, and the bearing these have on our future. The card arises when there is a push or call from within that forces us to make a great change, raising important questions which must be reconciled with truth, integrity and honour.
