Justice - Tarot Card Description
Justice is ruled by Libra, of course. The rune is Tir. The number 11 is a higher octave of the number 2. The Justice veil represents the super conscious. The little square on her crown represents well-ordered thoughts. The sword is double-edged, cutting both ways, signifying impartiality. It's point-up signifying victory. It's in her right hand, showing the logical, well-ordered mindset necessary to dispense fair justice. The scales are in her left, intuitive hand, showing that logic balanced by the intuition. Notice the clasp holding the cloak. The square is the Law protecting the circle, the eternal state of oneness within us all. Through visualisation and meditation, Justice assists you in breaking through the veils of illusion or deception. This archetype helps you achieve and maintain balance in all aspects of your life.

Justice - Tarot Card Meanings
Balanced judgement exists. Justice will be served. Lawsuits won. Desire to further education. Eliminate excess baggage that is being carried around.
Truth. You need to know and speak the truth and perceive it in the words and deeds of others. Be fair and just with all and you will soon be able to detect dishonesty in yourself and others. Learn the rules that govern what you are involved with.
There is a serious feel to Card 11 - the tone of the courtroom. This card refers to legal matters of all kinds, but is not restricted to them. The courts are where judgments are made and decisions rendered. Our legal system is the official arena in which we explore the principles of Justice - fairness, impartiality and the quest for Truth.
Justice represents fairness and equality in matters of contracts and litigations. A contract could be a marriage license, divorce decree or financial arrangement. Want an emotional level of expression, to rejuvenate or correct a problem area, or to perfect an idea so that it can be put to good use. You have just completed a cycle of destiny, and a brand new cycle is about to commence. The present will have to evolve before it can be weighed or judged and time will provide the key to the understanding that you need.
Justice's scales are balanced thus its appearance indicates first of all that events have worked out as they were meant to work out; that is what is happening to you comes from decisions and situations in the past. You have what you deserve. Secondly it indicates a need and possibility for seeing the truth of this outcome. At the same time it shows that your actions in the future can be changed by a lesson learned in the present situation. We cannot become honest without ourselves, without extending that honesty to ourselves and others. In this sense the card carries the obvious meaning of Justice; fairness, honesty, correct actions, and in legal matters a just decision.
When this card appears, the art of decision-making is required. Something in your life needs attention, mediation, a solution. Are you the person to render judgment, or is your role to accept the decision that is made? If your reading is about a disagreement, a cooling off period is suggested, reconciliation and movement toward cooperation. A realisation that if everyone plays fair a positive outcome can be had. It can also mean the inner umpire your conscience that can make the "right" decision.
Need for better inner balance. Time for work and action. Balancing health habits. Need to discriminate as to what is best for the self. Need to create one's own joy. Taking responsibility for one's actions and relationships. Looking at another side of an issue. Looking at the pros and cons. Need to cut away unnecessary baggage. Affirmation: "By creating greater balance within, I create more joy in my life."
Justice - Reversed Tarot Card Meanings
Reversed, Justice indicates dishonesty to yourself and others. It shows an unwillingness to see the meaning of events, and shows that you are missing some opportunity for a greater understanding of yourself in life.
Injustice, inequality. Legal complications. A biased mind. Use mercy and understanding when judging others.
