Dr.Nikki's Tarot -
Justice
It should first be noted that “justice” and “law”
don’t even share a letter, so don’t confuse the
two in the Tarot either.  This is the card of
Justice.  However, as many who have had
association with the US legal system know that
Lady Justice is blind.  She holds her scales
before her, ready to weigh the issues.  Her
sword is held in a defensive stance, but those
who have fenced or done sword work can see the
easy relaxed but ready position she maintains.   
She stands high atop a rocky outcrop, the clouds
behind her indicating her great height.  Her
strength and determination are seen in her firmly
planted feet and strong muscular legs.

Although joked about above, even though law
and justice do not share a letter, without law it is
difficult to dispense justice.  This card can be
talking about a legal issue in your life. However,
it is more likely trying to point out (the sword) a part of
your life that you may need to look at more
judiciously.  Are you truly giving things a “fair
shake?”  Are you putting forth enough energy to
achieve your goals?   Justice calls us to look to
ourselves – justice calls to our higher virtues but is
required to deal with and dispense justice on our baser
natures.  Justice speaks of fairness (everybody is
entitled to representation), her scales indicate
appropriate balance, her belt is an interlocking
allegory for the symbol of infinity.  Remember that it
may take time for the law to catch up with and dispense justice in the material
world.  In the world of the inner person it could mean you need to look at your
perceptions.  Are you being unfair?  Are you making false allegations against
another?  Or, are you basking in the just rewards of personal effort?  All these
are the messages of the Justice card.
