I refer to Justice as the “Cutting Through The Bullshit” card.

Traditionally, the Justice tarot card represents justice, fairness, truth and the law. You are held accountable and will be judged accordingly for your actions.

At it’s most general level, this is a card of karma. The Universe always notices those things we say and do.

Be fair in your dealings. It reminds us to study the facts and put aside our emotional response to what is going on when we make a decision. Be fair minded.

If you have behaved in accordance with your Higher Self, you’ll have nothing to worry about. However, if you haven’t, you will be called out and made to own up to your actions.

Be willing to take responsibility for your actions and be responsible for the consequences that follow.

If you are seeking justice, the Justice Card is a positive sign that it will finally be done. Once the decision is made, you have to accept it and move on; there are no retrials or second chances.

At its core, Justice is about the search for truth. Be prepared to explore what truth means to you. Be consciously aware of what you believe to be true, fair and ethical.

The Hanged Man is the card that suggests you take at look at things from a different perspective. Your inner self will soon speak to you.

This card prepares us for the great transition that is going to come next.

DEATH

The Death card symbolizes the end of a major phase or aspect of your life that is no longer serving you,

Perhaps the Death Card is the most dreaded and underestimated of all the cards in the Tarot deck. Most people freak out and fear that as soon as this card appears, they will immediately kneel over and die. Relax! One of the most optimistic cards in the deck can be the Death Card.

The Death card symbolizes the end of a major phase or aspect of your life that is no longer serving you, freeing up the possibility of something much more important and necessary. You must close one door to open another. Put the past behind you and part ways. Be ready to embrace new opportunities and possibilities.

Death is a sign that you need to learn to let go of unhealthy attachments in your life. With doing this, you can experience a fuller, more fulfilled life of deeper meaning and significance. This is a perfect card to break a bad habit or pattern of behavior. Purge the baggage that is getting in your way.

The Death card reversed brings you the opportunity to embrace change, rather than resist it. Say yes to change and see what wonderful opportunities present themselves to you.

You may also be experiencing personal transformation on a deep level. Allow yourself to release what no longer serves you and make space for the new to emerge in your life.

The reversed Death card also invites us to return to the lesson of the Hanged Man – a card of pause, suspension and putting things on hold. Even though we are experiencing heightened levels of uncertainty as more events are cancelled and restrictions put in place, we are being asked to see things from a new perspective and to find the opportunity in the pause.

TEMPERANCE

Temperance is the card to bring balance, flexibility, moderation and tolerance in your life.

Balance, Grounded, Moderation, Cooperation. Maintain and control your feelings. Temperance is the card to bring balance, flexibility, moderation and tolerance in your life. Moderation is necessary in maintaining harmony. You need to be tolerate and be able to cooperate with others. Maintain an even temperament and manage your emotions. Temperance advises you to take the middle route. Now is not the time to be extremely controversial or judgmental. Be the peacekeeper and take a rational approach in order to prevent any extremes. Listen to your inner voice. Let it lead you to the right result, and follow patiently.

Devil

The Devil - Through this card addictions and self limiting beliefs are being addressed. The Devil card shows your darker side. The Devil made me do it.

Through this card addictions and self limiting beliefs are being addressed. The Devil card shows your darker side. It’s temptations that are leading you. You are being asked to take a hard look at yourself and ask yourself where in my life am I suffering from addictive behavior. Destructive powers prevent you from being the best version of yourself.  You may be influenced by unhealthy attitudes, addictions, activities, modes of thought and friendships. You choose the direction of instant gratification with the Devil, even though it is at the cost of your long-term well-being. You’ve heard the expression “The Devil made me do it.” Deep down, you know it’s to your disadvantage, and you’re only doing yourself (and often others) a great deal of harm. You need to recognize the hold they have over you and the impact they have on your life. See this as an opportunity to be strong and outsmart the negative forces in your mind. Lead us not into temptation.

THE TOWER

Change must happen. The more you fight it the worse it becomes. Make a new start.

A card of “expect the unexpected” – massive change, upheaval, destruction and chaos. The Tower card shows a high tower nestled on top of the mountain. A lightning bolt strikes the the crown on the top which sets it ablaze. Flames are bursting in the windows and people are jumping out of the tower as an act of desperation.

It’s when something strikes in your life strikes and you are thrown out of your comfort zone and forced to confront change.

This change may be pleasant or unpleasant, but this all depends on your perception. It can indicate that you get a shock to the system you weren’t expecting – it’s not what that shock was but how you deal with it from now that is important.

Change must happen. The more you fight it the worse it becomes. Make a new start.

When the Tower card appears in a Tarot reading expect the unexpected – massive change, disruption, ruin, and confusion. Transition is here to tear things up, create chaos, and ruin all in its way.

But when it’s over, it’ll be for your highest good. Your world may collapse before you, as you realize you’ve built your life on unstable foundations – false assumptions, double-crossing, false beliefs, and so on.

But over time, you will come to see that your initial beliefs are based on a false understanding and that your new systems of values are more representative of reality.

The best way forward would be to allow this structure to self-destruct so that you can rebuild and re-focus. This devastation will trigger the emergence of new development and the transformation of your spirit.

You’ll become stronger, wiser and more resilient after a Tower experience as you develop a new life perspective that you didn’t even know existed.

These situations are needed for your personal growth and enlightenment, and even if you experience anxiety and pain throughout the process, truth and honesty will bring about a positive change.

The Tower in the reversed position suggests that you are undergoing a significant personal transformation and upheaval.

You’re instigating change and calling into question your fundamental belief systems, values, purpose, and meaning.

You may go through a spiritual awakening as you discover a new path. Your beliefs and opinions about important topics may change as you realize that you can no longer support old beliefs.

You may be in denial that change is occurring, or maybe you’re clinging to an old belief system, even if you know it’s no longer relevant or healthy for you.

Even though you probably don’t want to go through it, this challenging time will help you learn a valuable lesson and make progress in your life.

You are creating change and transformation so you can step into a new and evolved version of yourself.

Keywords: Optimism, Confidence, New Energy, Positive Change, Happiness, Faith, Hope

The Star reveals new hope and happiness after the previous chaos of the Tower.

The Star of Hope. Optimism. Wish upon a star. Anything is possible. The Star signals an upcoming or existing phase of happiness in our lives.

The Star offers restored hope and faith, and a feeling that you are truly blessed. It is a pleasant, loving period in your life, filled with positive energies, emotional stability, and a deeper understanding of yourself and others around you.

THE MOON

Listen to your inner voice. Release any fears or anxieties that are holding you back.

Keywords: Fear, Illusion, Imagination, Illusion, Anxiety, Uncertainty

The Moon is something of great beauty. It opens up your inner voice. It’s asking you to examine your feelings. Release any fears or anxieties that are holding you back.

When manipulated by the light of the moon we may find it difficult to tell what’s real and what’s not. Nothing is what it seems. Everything always looks different at night. It’s like a veil of mist covering the truth. It acts as a reflection of yourself.

The Moon may indicate that something in your life is not as it appears. It may indicate a desire for change. This can also apply to your expectations: your plans may not play out as you hoped. Start an honest dialogue with yourself. Be willing to face the reality of the situation.

There may be a hidden truth in your life that you need to uncover. Clearing the air may be difficult, but it is important if you want to seek happiness in your life. Feelings of anxiety or depression could very well be hindering your life journey.

The moon reminds you to trust your intuition. It often emerges when you project fear into your present and future situations based on your past experiences. The Moon can mean a time of uncertainty and doubt when it seems to be nothing.  

Be cautious when the Moon card appears not to make quick decisions. You may find out later that you only had half the information you required. You need to listen to your instincts and believe it to be able to see beyond what’s before you. A little self understanding can go a long way.

Let go of your mental blocks or negative self-talk and allow your intuition to guide you.

The Moon represents the depths of our intuition, our fears, and the mysteries that lie beneath the surface. Its presence reminds us to trust our instincts, even when things seem uncertain or unclear.

The Moon teaches us to embrace the unknown and to navigate through the shadows with courage and inner wisdom. So next time the Moon card appears in your reading, take a moment to reflect on what lies beyond the surface and embrace the journey of self-discovery it offers.
