Getting to know Lady Justice

Justice XI

 

I know in the last post I had said that I would see you in 2016, but typical me, I lied. I have just been feeling the Tarot love so strongly lately that I had to do another post. Can you believe that tonight is Christmas Eve, which has always been my favorite part of the holiday, what about you? Did you find 2015 flew by at an insanely fast rate? I know I did! I just cannot believe that tomorrow is Christmas  and then next week marks the end of 2015! Insane! I already said it in my Yule post but I will just say it one more time, I am very grateful for all the wonderful things that have happened this year. Tarot has taken me on so many adventures it has been mystically, marvelous (see what I did there?)! I am grateful to the Tarot community: fellow Readers, Bloggers, Tweeters, FB Posters, and of course my Tarot Family over at Tarot with Tasha. It has been an amazing year full of Tarot and I am super excited for our adventures in 2016! Lets get on with the card, shall we?

 

Well sexy, beautiful, studly, handsome readers, we made it to the eleventh card, Justice. I must confess, up until like yesterday, I thought this was a man. Somehow Lady Justice and the Justice card never matched up in my mind- blonde moment! (I do think it's pretty badass that the Justice card is also a blonde lady, did the Tarot cards predict Legally Blonde was going to happen all those years ago? Sorry I got sidetracked...) You probably can tell by now, that I am more drawn to the watery lovey cards thus far than I am the more stern cards. Its just my personality and has nothing to do with the importance of these more "stern" cards. Justice is all about getting what is owed. Sometimes that can work in your favor, other times not so much, but in the end you deserve what is coming you way. It can be thought of like Karma. You are getting back what you put out. If you have been a good person and have done your best, this card is here to let you know you are going to get some form of payoff or reward. On the flipside, if you have been a bit of an a-hole then you can expect your "up-n-comin's" as my late grandfather would have said. This card can also indicate a possible legal issue or having to go through the justice system. In a career reading, this could mean a possible career in one of the many professions inside of the justice system. Lady Justice (now that I know she is a lady) wants you to weigh both sides of the coin, think about both sides of the story and make a fair decision. Its about thinking things through and doing your best to do what's right instead of what is easy. In her left hand she holds a set of scales meaning weighing your options. The sword represents punishment by not following the simple rule of being fair to others. The crown on her head represents that even the justice system is not to be held above the common folk- too bad this isn't practiced in all justice systems... I will just keep my opinions on that to myself!

 

Keys to remember: Fairness, karma, weighing your options, possible career within the justice system, getting what's owed.

 

An exercise in Karma:

When thinking about an exercise that would bring the Justice Card into your life, I kept thinking Karma and how could we play with that. I don't expect you to right your Karma by going out on a limb and trying to fix old relationships etc. Old relationships are in the past for a reason and we don't want to make our lives messy. Instead, I think it would be a good idea to try to bring some good Karma into your life. Go out and do something nice for someone not expecting anything in return. This could be buying a coffee for a stranger, taking your dog for an extra long walk or to a dog park, helping a family member or friend. Just go out there and do something that is nice for someone who deserves some good Karma to come into their life. Let Lady Justice guide you and think on the card before you go do your good deed. You never know, Karma might come around for you and you might get a little somethin' somethin' from the universe!

 

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
