11 Justice

Keywords: scales of justice; fairness; truth; honor; the-principle-of-the-matter

Archetypes: Karma; Judge Judy; King Arthur; Dennis the Menace

Correspondences:

Number/6

Planet/Venus

Element/Air

Astrological Sun Sign/Libra

Upright Interpretation: This is easy, I’m Libra, and I’ve been cursed with the insane tenacity for justice so beautifully inspired by my sun sign. The iconic figure on this card will give up a lot for The-Principle-Of-The-Thing, even when this type of sacrifice may seem pointless and even silly to the multitudes. Sometimes it might even seem unnecessary to the Libra making their point, once some time has passed and things can be put in perspective. But, never-the-less, by god, we’re playing by the book here.

Reversed Interpretation: Someone is going to get away with a load of crap, bogging people down, beating the system, cheating the public, or some poor individual who doesn’t even see it coming. The system failed; yes, it did, when Justice is standing on her head. But never fear, once she rights herself and the blood returns to her brain, she’ll be thinking clearly again…and so will you.

A Tarot Reading for Justice:
Justice ~ The Lovers ®; 10/cups ®; The Sunday

“All is fair in love and war”, so the old saying goes; but in reality, no, it’s not.  Within both realms, Justice, you are hiding the best and worst of everything that humanity can dredge to the surface of life.  Love is often described as a battle field by the more cynical individuals, and this perspective most often comes from having fought the fight, having survived the skirmish, perhaps with a few wounds and tender spots to show for it.  And war?  The injustice that surrounds this event, no matter where it’s fought, no matter who the participants, is a glaring blight on humanity.  “Imagine”, as John Lennon once said, in his song of peace and acceptance.  And that’s what you’re trying to tell us Justice, to be fair, to do things right, to be kind.

We don’t always get everything we wish for, but then again, it seems like some people always do (the golden children).  Life isn’t always fair, this is what you’re trying to tell us, Justice, like a parent talking to a child (as we stand before you with arms crossed defiantly on our chest, with a clenched pout plastered to our mouth, with eyes stubbornly averted from your glorious face).  Humanity can behave like a group of children who have never grown up, children who are spoiled, children who feel entitled.  You’re trying to tell us, Justice, that during our lifetime there will be moments of pleasure in wishes granted, but don’t expect to receive everything you desire, and when you realize that it’s not coming to you, learn to accept this fact with grace and dignity.

As you sit upon your thrown, sword raised to the heavens, the scales of justice held in your capable hands, your voice can be heard:  Happiness comes to those who do things right, those who try to be fair, those who treat others with dignity, those who fight for justice in this world upon so many levels, and in so doing bring a rush of positive energy and a flash of pure spirit.  Sweet Justice, as you look out from the center of your card on humanity, with that placid calm expression on your face, you try to assure us…Everything will be okay.
