Justice
“Balance, Truth, Cause and effect, Law”
The Balance of Eternal Fate
he Supreme Balance in the Tarot Realm
In the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, the Major Arcana of Justice reveals itself as a scene of unwavering authority and equilibrium, summoning the essence of cosmic law. Immersed in an atmosphere of solemnity, the visual elements of this card intertwine to offer a grand spectacle of righteousness and equity.
At the center of the composition sits a regal figure embodying the concept of universal justice. Dressed in a robe of intense crimson red, the figure sits on a stone throne before a purple veil suspended between two gray pillars. These pillars symbolize duality and the support of the world in which judgment is operated. Upon her head rests a golden crown with a small square in the center, a sign of the ordering of thought.
In her right hand, she holds a double-edged sword pointing upward, symbolizing the victory of the idea and the faculty of incisive judgment. Her left hand holds golden scales in perfect balance, a testimony to impartial judgment and the law of cause and effect. Beneath her robe, the tip of a white shoe peeks out, a reminder of the purity and spiritual foundation of her decisions.
Justice in its rich imagery not only illustrates its function of order but also reminds us of the connection between the physical world and cosmic judgment, where every action has its consequence in an eternal balance.
Justice appears to remind us of the universe's eternal balance. It signifies a time where the truth must prevail, a balance between cause and effect, prompting you to be honest with your actions and desire fair changes. It's karma in its purest action.
