Symbolism & Imagery:
The Justice Tarot card depicts a woman sat between two pillars. She is wearing a red cloak with gold trims. She is the personification of justice and fairness, with symbols of fairness and law surrounding her. In one hand she is holding a sword. This symbolizes the need for retribution when it comes to justice, and how judgment leads to action. It is a physical reminder of what happens when we do not act fairly and respectfully.
She holds a set of scales in her other hand. This represents that fairness needs to always be judged and debated. Justice does not rush into action and condemnation. Rather, it weighs up both sides and works out what is fair. It reminds us of Karmic justice, and how the universe knows both sides of every story.
The woman wears a crown on her head, reminding us of her knowledge. Ultimately, justice has the power and authority. We cannot escape the bad things we have done, and we will always be rewarded for the good things we have done.
