JUSTICE
Description
This image
is very similar to the image presented in Western Law as Justice.
A woman sits upon her chair - 2 equal pillars to each side. She hold
the scales in one hand and the sword in the other. The sword represents
swift punishment for crimes commited while the scales represent balance
and equality in judgement. In the western law image, Justica is blindfolded
whereas here, she is not. The blindfold refers to the idea that she
is blind and therefore unbiased. I am unsure what the significance
of her being unblindfoled in the Tarot is, however I will assume that it
is so that she may 'see the truth'.
Divinatory
Meaning
This card
means that balance and equilibruim need to be acheived in the person's
life, or rather, that it will be acheived. Although this is a more
general interpretation, I tend to view this card as relating to legal matters
directly. When asked about love, this card can mean a legal marriage
or divorce. When in matters of work it can mean that contracts will
be signed regarding employment. It can also mean that a court case is coming
up, or that the person will enter the legal profession. I generally
find that it usually relates to legal matters specifically. Yet it is best
to check the surrounding cards for support as to deem that a divorce is
likely might be incorrect as the concept of applying equality to a relationship
in order for it to work might also be appropriate.
