Judgement
Judgement represents the call to rise—a summons to purpose, a reckoning with the past, and resurrection into a new phase. All you have been comes together. The trumpet sounds. Will you answer? This is evaluation that leads to rebirth, not punishment.
Liber 777 gives Judgement Fire/Spirit (Shin, path 31) with no planet; Pluto is a modern planetary attribution.
