The image

An angel blows a trumpet from the clouds and figures rise from their coffins with open arms. It is a moment of awakening, when the past is reviewed and a new calling is answered.

Upright meaning

In general

A moment of clarity and renewal has arrived. Review the past honestly, forgive what needs forgiving and answer the call to a new chapter.

In love

A relationship may get a second chance, or you finally understand what you need in love. Honest reflection brings renewal.

At work

A calling or important decision is in front of you. You are ready to move to the next level.

With money

It is time to take stock and make a clear decision about your financial future.

Reversed meaning

In general

You may be judging yourself too harshly or ignoring a clear sign. Learn from the past without letting it define you.

In love

Old regrets or blame are blocking new beginnings. Let go of what you cannot change.

At work

Fear of failure is stopping you from taking an important step. Your past mistakes are lessons, not verdicts.

With money

Avoiding a necessary financial decision is holding you back. Face it.
