Justice represents harmony and balance. Throughout all the cards as we encounter the positive and negative aspects of life we must choose between right and wrong, darkness and light. Justice represents the balance that we must all create in order to live healthy and fulfilled lives. The woman sits between two columns, as does the High Priestess and the Hierophant. In her right hand she holds a two-edged sword representing duality, and in her left hand are the scales used to find balance and harmony between the often conflicting elements of our lives. When you encounter the card of Justice the meaning to be understood is not necessarily that you have a choice to make but rather that you must look at areas of imbalance or excess in your life to determine where more moderation and equilibrium can bring peace to replace turmoil. Does your life reflect the principles embodied in the concept of Justice?
