Tarot Card Meaning: Justice

Justice in a Tarot Card Reading

Justice is a powerful tarot card, depicting an image sitting on a throne, holding a sword in one hand and scales in the other. It is a representation of the law. This sign of balance, signifies the reason why the law exists. In order to make sure everyone in society gets treated fairly, judgment must be passed on immoral actions. Some actions which are taken at free will, should be rewarded with gains or punishments, all depending of the intention of those committing them.

It is clear that the scales are a bold symbol of Libra, the astrology sign most obsessed with fairness, diplomacy and partnerships. These sometimes extend to contracts, even those of marriages, business partnerships and any where a relationship must be bounded by law.

The justice card comes up in a reading to advise the reader to act with a clear and decisive mind, using the sharp sword of their intellect to differentiate truth from fiction and facts from emotions when weighing any situation. This is the meaning of the sword and the scales, offering both at equal chance, allowing anyone to choose the right path for them. You are called to judge the right situations, not the ones where your judgment is not needed.

The justice card may mean that you are about to take on a contract, or get into a partnership that needs to be well regulated. It may be a sign that you are being too judgy of others when you shouldn’t be, or that you’ve turned a blind eye when you should have spoken your mind.

The justice card will reassure you that justice, as expected, will be served, and you should trust the rules, abide by them, and make sure others respect them.
