Justice

Rider–Waite–Smith Tarot
Justice

Justice sits between two pillars with the sword raised in one hand and the scales level in the other. The card is not mercy and it is not punishment. It is the week where things are weighed and the weight is what it is. This week something is decided fairly, which may or may not be in your favour, and the card asks you to accept the outcome as the correct one before you know which way it falls. Act honestly on every day of it. Say the true thing when the false one would be easier. Take responsibility for what you did, including the part nobody has noticed yet. The sword is for cutting the matter clean, not for the person on the wrong side of the scales.

Read the full card

For your star sign

The same reading, taken through each sign of the zodiac.

Aries

You want the verdict fast and the scales take the week. Hold still while they settle. This week justice is the weighing, and the sword comes after, not instead.

Taurus

You will accept the verdict if it is in your favour. This week accept it before you know. Justice is the level scales, and the leveling is what you are asked to trust.

Gemini

You will argue both sides in front of the scales. This week say the true thing once and let them settle. Justice weighs what is, not what was argued well.

Cancer

You will read the verdict as being about you personally. It is about the weight. This week let the scales be impersonal, and the sword clean rather than cruel.

Leo

You want to be seen to be fair. This week be fair unseen. Justice sits between the pillars for anyone; the crown is for weighing, not for the audience.

Virgo

You will find the scales slightly off. They are level. This week trust the balance you did not calibrate, and take responsibility for your part rather than for the instrument.

Libra

This is your card and the week is yours. The addition is the sword: the scales level, and then something is cut. This week do the cutting too, not only the weighing.

Scorpio

You want justice to be punishment. It is weight. This week the person on the wrong side is not yours to sentence; the scales sentence, and the sword cuts the matter.

Sagittarius

You will accept the verdict and leave before it is read. Stay for the reading. This week the weighing takes seven days and the truth is in the last one.

Capricorn

You take responsibility as a policy. This week take it for the part nobody has noticed. Justice weighs what was done, including what was done quietly.

Aquarius

You will appeal to the principle behind the scales. This week the scales are the principle. Act honestly, accept the weight, and skip the appeal.

Pisces

You will feel the verdict before it is given and dissolve into it. This week hold your shape. Justice weighs a person, and the person has to be there to be weighed.

For your Chinese animal

The same reading, taken through each animal of the Chinese zodiac.

Rat

You will adjust the scales. This week they are not yours to adjust. Act honestly on each day and let the weight be what it is; the sword finds the thumb on the pan.

Ox

You accept verdicts and never contest them. This week contest nothing and take responsibility for one thing nobody noticed. Justice weighs the unseen part too.

Tiger

You will swing the sword before the scales settle. This week wait seven days. The cutting is clean only after the weighing, and the early swing is the injustice.

Rabbit

You fear the verdict and will hide from the scales. This week stand in front of them. Justice is not looking for the guilty; she weighs, and you have nothing to hide from a level pan.

Dragon

You want to sit in the chair between the pillars. This week you are on the scales like everyone. Accept the weight, and the crown is for another card.

Snake

You will let the verdict fall on someone else. This week take responsibility for your part, including the quiet part. Justice weighs what was done, not what was seen.

Horse

You will accept the verdict and be gone before it is enforced. This week stay for the enforcement. The sword cuts the matter clean, and clean means finished.

Goat

You will accept whatever verdict is given and feel wronged. This week the scales are level. Accept the weight as correct, and the wronged feeling has nowhere to stand.

Monkey

You will argue the scales into a better reading. This week say the true thing instead. Justice weighs, and the clever argument is a thumb on the pan.

Rooster

You will find the injustice in the verdict. This week find your responsibility in it. Justice is the level scales, and the correction is yours to make on yourself.

Dog

You will stand between the sword and someone you love. This week stand beside them at the scales instead. Justice is not punishment, and the shielding reads as hiding.

Pig

You will accept the verdict if it is comfortable. This week accept it either way. The scales are level and the sword is clean, and comfort is not one of the weights.
