Karma: Back At Ya!

The Justice card is often referred to as the karmic card of the tarot. For every action there is a re-action and after that exchange occurs, things are brought back to center. Justice is a more severe look at balance than the more flowing picture we see with Temperance. For one thing the color red of the robes shows quite a lot of passion, although it is tempered by compassion with the color green that outlines the cloak. The higher essence of the soul is shown by purple, the color associated with intuition and the third eye chakra. The Ace of Swords that he holds in his hand shows that justice will be served with swiftness and assurance while the scales show that justice will be fair as well. Although the purple above his head shows this man to be of a spiritual nature, his foot (which is shown at the bottom of his robe), shows he is also very much grounded in reality. Like the Magician, he is serene and sure of his position. There is nothing aggressive about this man. Justice is the card ruled by Libra. Libra, the sign associated with relationships, is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love. Therefore, when we see Justice come up in a relationship reading it is the sign that you are dealing with a soul connection or karmic relationship

When drawing this card for meditation you are asked to weigh out the matters before you with a calm, even handed manner. Make a mental list of each side of the equation and look at it practically while still trusting your intuitive side to come to the right decision. Ask yourself how you can balance your free will with fate. They do not operate exclusively of each other. When thinking about a particular relationship, understand that it is a soul connection and perhaps focus on the lesson to be learned by you from this relationship. I would suggest using green, purple and white candles for meditation with this card. The stones I would suggest to use are amethyst for intuition and clear quartz for clarity. These two stones represent the scales of balance. For aromatherapy I would suggest Lemongrass oil for increased psychic awareness. Lemon is a gentle scent which can be used for a more compassionate approach to the situation.
