XI Justice

This card has its energies related to the sign of Libra

When the Justice card appears in a reading, it brings the message that the situation in question tends to resolve itself in its favor, or, at least, in the fairest way possible. It could be a matter of law, the end result of a specific situation, relationship issues, or other situations. The basic meaning of the card often means balanced and fair decisions.

It may be a decision you need to make (or that will be taken against you), or even relevant documents and information. Whatever it is, decisions and actions tend to be in your favor if it is within the normal context and represents victory through logic and justice. During a reading with more cards, it is important to observe the cards next to the one of Justice. They can help you understand what is going on and what should be considered in making a final decision.

A little more about the card Justice...

Justice is the Tarot card number 11 and symbolizes themes such as equality, transparency, honesty, and laws. In this car, we can see a woman seated on a throne and with a double-edged sword in one hand, representing impartiality, as the sword cuts on both sides. On the other hand, she has the scales of justice, always in balance, which symbolizes the intuition necessary to use logic and judgment in a balanced and fair way.

On her head, a crown with a small square symbolizes thinking with clarity, definition and limits. She is also surrounded by pillars. This is another pillared card in the Tarot, an important sustaining card. Libra is the sign associated with this Arcanum, a sign that suggests equality, honesty, harmony and balance, qualities that come from the scales of justice.
