Discover the Justice tarot card meaning, the 11th of Major Arcana tarot cards.
Justice Tarot Card Symbolism
This card depicts a woman holding a scale and a sword, a familiar figure we associate with justice although she is now blindfolded to represent the impartiality of the law.
The sword in the woman’s right hand represents the power of discrimination that helps man go beyond the chaos and discern the truth.
It is held upright like a scepter and as one it is made of gold to emphasize its importance and value.
The scale in the left woman’s hand symbolizes the karmic balance that must be maintained.
The scale is level and empty, ready to accept the duality of human nature. It represents how the information needs to be equally considered for it is man’s task to create harmony between contrasting forces.
In the Waite deck, Justice is like the High Priestess, sitting between two pillars that hold a veil.
The position of The Justice in the list of tarot card meanings is controversial. In the Marseille deck, the card is numbered eight, in other decks, it is numbered eleven.
Placing The Justice between the triumphant Chariot and the introspective Hermit stresses the transitory nature of worldly glory.
Nevertheless, also the eleventh position, between the perpetual motion of the Wheel of Fortune and the stillness of the Hanged Men seems an appropriate place for a card of balance.
