Astrological, Planetary And Elemental Significance

Every one of the signs of the zodiac is associated with a Tarot card from the Major Arcana. The Justice card is the astrological archetype that predominates under the Libra zodiac sign. In this section, we will examine the symbolic links between the sign of Libra and the concept of Justice...

Native Libras have an instinctive desire to keep balance and harmony in their relationships, and the Scales represent them to show this strive for balance in all things. Libras may be the most well-liked sign in the zodiac because they have the ability to captivate and make friends with people of all other signs. Not to mention the fact that Venus, the planet of love and beauty, is Libra's ruling planet, which further contributes to this sign's natural allure.

However, Libras are not without fault; in fact, they are frequently accused of being overly cautious and hesitant to make decisions. This is a direct response to the fact that they use their internal scales to determine what is proper and what is wrong before they make any decisions. Librans are able to make decisions with grace once they have achieved a balance between their knowledge and their intuition, despite the fact that they occasionally experience brief moments of confusion.

The figure of the judge who is shown on the Justice Tarot card exudes the alluring spirit of Libra and keeps a balanced diplomatic presence by holding the scales of karma in her left hand. In order to strike a balance with the karmic principles that govern the universe, she considers both her intuition and her expertise before making any decision.

However, where does this intuitive knowledge originate? 11 is the correct answer, of course! The number 11 is very wise, and within the realm of Numerology, it is one of just three numbers that are strong enough to be referred to be a "Master number." Not only is Justice the 11th Tarot card, but the symmetrical and balanced shape of the number 11 is reflected in the stone pillars that are located behind Lady Justice.

However, just like everyone else, Libra's equilibrium can sometimes become disrupted for no apparent reason. However, this state of disarray won't last for very long. Justice, in her capacity as an official truth-seeking judge, equips herself with a double-edged sword, which enables her to cut through any fog or confusion that may be in her path.

Even the image of the sword has a connection to Libra, because Libra is an air sign, and the Swords cards in the Tarot are associated with the element of air. In the Justice card, her sword is seen pointing upward, which represents victory and a reestablished sense of equilibrium. And tucked away in the crown of her authority is a glimmering emerald that serves as a third-eye chakra. This enables her to perceive straightforwardly and unmistakably what was before concealed in the obscurity of abstract ideas and mental muddles.

Numerological Significance

In the Rider-Waite deck, the number 11 represents the Justice card. The number 11 is considered a Master Number, and it is associated with idealism as well as having a crystal clear perspective on the future. 11 can also be interpreted as 1+1=2, and as we discovered when looking at the Tarot card for the High Priestess, the number 2 is associated with duality.

All of these different aspects are critical components of the concept of justice.

Numerology 2 includes both the High Priestess and Judgement as one of its components. According to numerology, the number 2 is associated with harmony, impartiality, and diplomatic endeavors. By exchanging the position of these cards, the Tarot's fundamental structure was significantly repaired and much improved.

This card and Strength used to be in the opposite order in prior decks, which is why Justice had the number 8 in those decks. Infinity, harmony, and the proper placement of the stars are all represented by the number 8. There is a connection between these concepts and the Justice Tarot Card, and the number 8, as well as the number 11, are appropriate for this card.

These two cards are connected because, along with Temperance, they are two of the cardinal virtues that are depicted in the Tarot. The third cardinal virtue is shown as Justice.

It was decided to swap the numbers around so that they would more closely resemble the sequence of the zodiac.

The sign of Leo is known for being powerful, while the sign of Libra is recognized for being balanced. It seemed appropriate to shuffle the cards in a different sequence in the deck given that Leo is the sign that comes before Libra in the zodiac.

Crystals And Chakras Associated With This Card

Some of the Crystals associated with this card are:

Ametrine, Bloodstone, Prehnite

Ametrine

It happens naturally, resulting in a magnificent color combination of Citrine's brilliant yellow color and Amethyst's relaxing purple tint. The purple and yellow colors found in the stone can manifest themselves in a variety of various ways due to the fact that the formation was caused by natural processes.

One of the primary birthstones linked with the sign of Libra is the ametrine. It has resonant frequencies with the Chakras of the Crown, Third Eye, and Solar Plexus.

It is simpler for people born under the sign of Libra, which is an air sign, to tune into their more evolved selves (their subconscious mind). They don't just think in terms of logic; rather, they approach each circumstance by considering it on multiple levels of thought, which enables them to understand the bigger picture rather than just fragments of it.

Since it promotes one's ability to think on a deeper level and to put oneself in the shoes of other people, especially when there is conflict involved, ametrine is an ideal stone for increasing the empathic nature of Libras and tapping into the energy of Justice.

It is also helpful in balancing the Yin and Yang energies as well as other opposing forces, which is another reason why it is the ideal stone for the energy of Justice.

Libras are at their best when they are part of a team, whether that team is romantic or professional. As a result of Ametrine's ability to amplify the curative qualities of both citrine and amethyst, the stone is sometimes referred to as "the personification of how working as a pair is better than working alone."

Because it is also a stone of prosperity and manifestation, it is one of the greatest crystals for anyone who wants to make the most of any new opportunities or expand upon any current businesses.

Bloodstone

Bloodstone is one of the many varieties of jasper, and due to its reputation as a powerful healing stone, it is among the most highly prized. Bloodstone derives its name from the fact that it is normally green in color with spots of intense red on the stone that resemble the hue of blood.

Bloodstone, like other types of jasper, is an effective stone for both grounding and manifestation. It is a stone that has a strong connection to both the Heart Chakra and the Root Chakra. It is a potent protective stone, especially for children who are subjected to bullying or anybody who is exposed to emotional abuse, as it helps facilitate self-healing and supports self-love. This is especially true for children who are exposed to bullying online or in person.

It is the ideal stone to help anchor those with Justice and their occasionally airy personalities, which can frequently cause them to lack decisiveness in certain situations. Bloodstone is known to improve mental clarity, aid with the process of decision-making (which is something that is an essential quality of Justice), and inspire independence.

Since it inspires one to search within themselves and discover the confidence to face their darkest fears, it is also the ideal healing stone for those who are afraid of being alone or who have recently lost someone close to them.

Prehnite

Prehnite is a stone of unconditional love that is associated with the Solar Plexus and Heart chakras. It teaches you to be in harmony with yourself as well as with the world around you, which makes it a powerful tool for personal growth. The yellow and green tones in it awaken that latent personal force inside you, inspiring you to be self-assured and to put your whole self into whatever you do.

South Africa is credited with being the location of the initial discovery of prehnite, which is notable for being the first stone to be named after a specific individual: Colonel Hendrik Von Prehn.

This sense of inner knowing is heightened by prehnite, which also attracts energies that are relaxing, tranquil, and protective. When there is harmony in your Heart, you have the ability to comprehend yourself on a deeper level.

Being unable to make up our minds can be a source of worry and unnecessary tension within us at times. Prehnite helps reduce apprehensive sensations, allowing you to clear the air, remember what your heart is telling you, and make decisions easily. This is especially helpful for Libras, who may have difficulty determining the precise path they should follow.

If you want to connect with your higher self while meditating, Prehnite is a great tool to use. The use of prehnite will attune you to the forces of the divine, bringing your heart into connection with your will and illuminating the most effective way to move forward. If you are able to realign your heart and make it the focal point of all you do, then you will be able to live your life as the truest version of yourself and present yourself to other people in the same manner.

Cards Associated With Justice

The idea behind justice is that you should get what you deserve and that karmic consequences will play out (both good and bad). Additionally, when combined with other cards, it might indicate integrity issues, legal problems, and fairness. The most significant Justice tarot card pairings are listed down below.

Justice And The Tower

When these two Major Arcana cards appear together, it indicates that harmony is on the verge of being restored; however, this will not occur until after a period of challenging transition, which is depicted by the Tower.

Sometimes, in order to get to what is waiting for us on the other side, we have to be willing to walk through the fire. Do not fight against the change or try to avoid the discomfort, regardless of how difficult it may be. You had been heading in the wrong direction before, but it is not too late to do a U-turn.

Justice And Judgement

A good number of individuals get these two cards mixed up. There are significant distinctions between the two, despite the fact that they have some similarities. In common parlance, the phase of decision-making is referred to as justice, whereas the period immediately following, when everything is fresh, is referred to as judgment.

When put together, the two cards are asking you to do two things: accept your history, and make a choice about where you want your life to go in the future.

Keeping guilt or shame in one's heart serves no useful purpose. Recognize your shortcomings and take responsibility for the outcomes that resulted from the choices you made in the past. You won't be able to ascend to a higher vibrational level until you've reached this point first.

Justice And Strength

You are either going through difficult circumstances, or you will soon be going through them, and preparation is the key. When you see a connection between Justice and Strength in a reading, your Spirit Guides want you to know that you have the ability to triumph over your adversary.

This does not imply that it will be simple to do. Spend some time by yourself in order to tap into the strength that lies within you. What abilities do you possess that will assist you in overcoming the challenges that lie ahead? Arm yourself with this information.

Justice And The Hierophant Or The Emperor

When connected with either the Hierophant or the Emperor, the significance of the Justice tarot card is amplified. The Justice tarot card is commonly thought to symbolize legal matters. Even if you are not currently engaged in a legal dispute, there is a possibility that one will soon arise.

When it comes to issues with the law or a rule, it's possible that you need to proceed with extreme caution.

This combination suggests that a problem will resolve itself in a way that is fair for all parties involved, which can be helpful if you are trying to bring peace to a conflict.

The Justice Tarot and Your Relationships

They say you get what you give, but that's not always true in reality. In relationships, some people may be much more generous with their time, feelings, effort, and commitment than others.

You can see this in romantic partnerships, sibling groups, and friendships, as well as amongst work colleagues and acquaintances. It's:

  • The parent who happily takes on the carpool and school fundraising duties
  • The brother who is always good for a few dollars when you are short of cash
  • The partner who never forgets a birthday, anniversary, or memorable holiday
  • Or the friend who always picks the perfect gift, and then wraps it beautifully too

Perhaps their reward is the action itself. Either way, it's unlikely they expect their thoughtfulness to be returned. The truth is that some relationships just work that way, and everyone's happy.

However, if people cheat, use, or upset others, this universal energy can become unbalanced. The justice card may appear to remind you of this.

At other times the tarot reveals Justice to prompt you into positive action. If any kind of relationship you have is unfulfilling, or worse, toxic, then this is your prompt to make things better.

This isn't always easy in real life, but you have the right to be safe and happy. You might have to let people go or reduce contact with others to get there. If it's the right thing, involving your trade union or the authorities may be the solution.

The best news is that the right approach frees up space to attract new positive experiences. So there's plenty out there to look forward to.

The Justice Tarot and Your Health

The Justice card may appear to remind us of the health–balance connection.

Modern life can quickly suck people into long working hours and equally long commutes in cars. Meals may be skipped, rushed, or eaten at a desk.

To get the best out of yourself, start practicing self-care. Small steps towards balancing those scales will be very much appreciated.

Don't waste time comparing yourself to others. Instead, focus on the karma of good health. With every sensible decision you see-through, you bank some positive payback for the future.

The Justice Tarot and Your Finances

The Justice tarot card is pretty positive on the topic of money. So long as you are always honest and trustworthy, your finances should be pretty stable.

This means taking responsibility for your debts and practicing responsible spending.

Don't ignore the problem if you struggle to make credit card (or any other) payments. Perhaps you borrowed some money from a friend or relative, and now you avoid their calls.

Turning the Justice card is a prompt to be truly honest and a sign that this is the right time to make things right.

If you are looking at improving your career prospects, the tarot Justice card asks you to evaluate your work situation. Any current disputes or problems are likely to work in your favor, presuming you have always been honest.

Sometimes the truth is that you deserve better, or you've reached the end of the road in that role. The Justice card should reassure you something better is yours if you choose to reach out for it.

Tarot Tips

Try to avoid overindulging in an instant gratification lifestyle. Technology opens the world to you, but it's okay to travel it with thought and care. Ultimately, everything you do must be balanced out. It's the way the world works.
