offering the ninth: Justice  Justice is one of the simpler cards in the Tarot. Invoking honor, discipline, fairness, strong ethical structure, it stands up to its name Usually portrayed as a young, fair-haired man or woman holding a set of scales in one hand, and a sword in the other, seated on a throne. In some decks, she or he is blindfolded, to indicate that Justice must be impartial. This is a serious card of rules and regulations. It doesn't always indicate a courtroom visit, but it always brings with it the trappings of Justice itself--the need for level-headed decisionmaking, the need for rational argument, the need to understand the situation in a non-emotional way. The Learning Tarot site indicates that this card is one of "fairness, impartiality and the quest for truth...In readings, Justice often appears when you are concerned with doing what is right or making sure you receive your due. This card can also appear when you are feeling the impact of a past mistake or good deed. The cause you set in motion at one time is now returning to you as an effect." This is the time to take responsibilities for your actions, or they will come back to haunt you later. Acknowledge responsibility; accept blame or the consequences of your actions; shoulder your responsibilities and bear them with head held high. This is who you are. This is what you have done. Accept it. In this way, you will know how to do what's right. This card can also indicate, by virtue of the cards surrounding it, what the matter needing adjudication is. Do you need a more rational outlook on your home life? Your job? Your relationships? Watch where the card falls in the reading, and you will understand. Post a comment in response: |
