Origins

The tarot archetype of Justice derives from the Greek Titaness Themis, her Roman counterpart Justitia, and Themis’ daughter Dike. The modern symbol of many legal systems, ‘Lady Justice’ is an amalgamation of these three goddesses.

Symbols

The scales represent balancing both sides of a dispute, and the double-edged sword represents choice and the power that justice holds.

Making Choices

When the Justice card comes up for you, it is time to make choices. She urges you to make those decisions in a way that is true and fair.

Past Actions

In positions regarding the past, the Justice card may indicate that circumstances now are ‘just’ because of past actions. The Justice card can also indicate that you (or someone else, perhaps someone who has wronged you) will not escape justice for wrongdoing.

Meaning in Tarot

In tarot, this card symbolizes a conceptual form of justice, dependent on seeing the truth about ourselves and our world.

Acting Justly

When the Justice card comes for you, it is telling you to do what is right. Act fairly, weigh both sides of the issue, and make a just decision, even if the ‘right’ choice is not the choice you would prefer.
