Judgement & 7 of Cups
Judgement & 7 of Cups
Analysis:
In each scene, we have a figure (or figures) looking as if they are paying reverence to something above. In the 7, it's the cups filled with various things, and in Judgement, it's the angel blowing the trumpet. The figure in the 7 also has their back turned, as does the child in Judgement.
In the 7 of Cups, we see a face coming out of one of the cups (top left) which looks similar to the angel's face in Judgment. (it also bares resemblance to other angels in Major Arcana)
The background of each image is blue and contains clouds.
The cup in the middle of the top row has a figure covered in a cloak with red lines emanating from it. Its gesture resembles the figure’s from Judgement with their arms wide open.
The trumpet bears resemblance to the cups in colour and shape.
The number 7 connects to each card. In the 7 of Cups, we have 7 cups. In Judgment, we have a trumpet with 7 lines coming out of it which represent the 7 musical notes. There are also 7 figures in total visible in Judgement.
Furthermore, 7 is the number of Netzach, which is considered to be the Sephirah of fire in some occult systems, and Shin, associated with Judgement, is related to fire.
Okay, maybe we’re seeing things with this one, but the cup with the wreath in it looks like it has a little skull on it. Are our eyes playing tricks on us? If that's the case, the skull would connect to Judgement as the people in the waters are emerging from coffins.

Possible Interpretation:
This world offers us no shortage of things it wants us to latch on to - things it wants us to believe will satisfy us and fill us up. Is that true or are these things merely distractions? Where are you getting your gratification from? What call are you answering? What is truly meant for you may be obscured by false ideas, outdated concepts or the material world i.e. those sparkly things! Can you hear and see what is hidden behind these trappings? There may be more available to you than you realize.
