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.
