Two cards

The Justice Tarot Card Meaning

The Justice card in a reading is one of the more ‘feared’ cards in the deck.

There is an overarching concern that it can indicate that there will be some kind of negative repercussions, or perhaps even legal issues in your future. While this can be true, as Justice does symbolize in some forms the legal system or the fine tuning of business; something else to consider is that the Justice card lays everything out for you exactly as you have prepared for it to. In essence, the Justice card best illustrates the just Law of Compensation: that which you put out you will receive back tenfold. Therefore, ask yourself questions, weigh out the pros and cons of any situation, and be sure that you are making decisions with integrity so that you can make the most informed decision possible.

The image of the Justice Card in the Rider Waite Deck is shown sitting on his throne in a red gown (symbolic of desire and action) holding the Sword of Justice which represents action and in his other hand he holds the scales, symbolizing balance. In this if your life is feeling off balance or out of control, Justice exists to tell you that now is the time for things to come to balance. Those that have wronged you will get their just reward and so shall you if you have wronged anyone. If you lead a positive, good life, then Justice will have no negative effect for you. Any negativity that your current circumstances accrue is representative of the action of swiping the plate clean so as to bring your situation back to neutral. Balance and sound judgment are necessary now. Investigate the key aspects of your situation and then choose what actions to take that are fair and honest. One should never try to swindle when the Justice card is transiting them, the sword will just as quickly swipe down on you as it will anyone else who is not acting according with the interest of their higher self.

Each of us has within us a range of emotions that should be used as a code of ethics, a way of appropriating action. When you have mental balance then you experience tranquility, you know the right way to behave. Now is the time to be decisive because the Justice causes you to be touched in the heart and in the spirit. Inspiration is available to you now, swift and focused.

The Justice Tarot Card in Love

When the Justice card shows up in reference to love there is a promise that one's needs will be met and if there are those that are behaving negatively or against the caliber of your relationship then they will be met by the sword of Justice. Therefore if you are concerned that your partner is cheating on you, Justice will bring this out in the open. On the other side, if you are cheating on your partner or being deceitful, the Justice card will cause your actions to come out in the open as well. If you are acting the part, and being a good person in your relationship then you will get your just rewards.

The Justice Tarot Card As Feelings

The justice card is positive in regards to how someone feels about another. It can mean that they have found a soul mate but they are trying to stay balanced. The justice card is reaping what is sown in life. There is a focus on a person trying to approach a situation with the right intentions but their worried about messing it up. When this card appears in a reading, it is a reminder that we all have a role to play. We need to be honest with ourselves and others, and act with integrity at all times. The Justice tarot card also encourages us to stand up for what is right, even if it means going against the grain. With this card in my readings I am confident that the choices made are just and fair.

The Justice Tarot Card As Love Reconciliation

There is power in the shape of a Justice card drawn as a Love Reconciliation, when two people split, we go on autopilot and want to get back together. Trust in this card, and trust that justice will prevail. 

The Justice Tarot Card in Health

The key to remember when it comes to Justice is that if you have been treating your body badly, the justice card will run rampant in your life if you do not get your health situated. For example, if you have been indulging in unhealthy habits like eating too much or drinking and doing drugs, the Justice card will come through and try to even the scale again and this can be manifested in the form of an illness, disease or sickness of the lungs and heart. Take this opportunity to remind yourself how to treat your body well, because the Justice card does not give multiple warnings.

The Justice Tarot Card in Work, Money, Business, Career, and Wealth

The Justice tarot card is a reminder that we must be in balance to achieve success.  It's time now take responsibility from an honorable stance: justice helps guide you on this journey ahead! In business, drawing Justice indicates we need to create harmony within our lives and practice fairness and impartiality in our dealings. When we take a balanced approach to business, the results are rewards of wealth, strong business relationships and personal growth. The Justice tarot card calls for us to step back from our passions and strive for an equilibrium between logic and emotions so that we can make wise decisions going forward. 

In work or career spreads Justice pulled asks if you have filed your paperwork correctly, signed what needs to be signed and have wrapped up all loose ends you will find that the Justice card is kind to you and will serve you greatly by transforming your business venture into something astounding. However, if you have not paid close attention to the legal side of your business venture, then you want to do so now. When the Justice card is present, all moves that are being made are watched and calculated for value. Therefore, make sure that you are walking with integrity in all things, but especially in business.

The Justice Tarot Card in a Yes or No reading

When drawing the Justice tarot card in a “Yes or No” reading, it is generally interpreted as a yes, but with an important caveat: making decisions based exclusively on instinct, without considering the myriad choices and their predetermined consequences, might not always be wise.

The Justice Tarot Card As A person

If you pulls in the Justice on someone, or for someone this person will weigh both sides carefully and consider coming up with a solution that keeps the balance. They will refuse to be pulled in by someone's games, instead they will push forward their own unique moral decisions. This makes them someone you can always rely on.

The Justice Tarot Card In The Past Position 

The Justice Tarot card appearing in the Past  of a tarot reading in my many years experience means that truth seeking and truth delivering are the words that you need to listen to. I often find, this card speaks to matters of justice, punishment and rectification of circumstances; a person's karma in connection to crimes, whether real or imagined. It can be seen as an effect of one's honesty while virtue triumphs over suffering. 

The Justice Tarot Card In The Present Position

The Justice tarot card in the present position of a tarot spread signifies transformation and positive change. Yes, this is a great card to pull. It is a reminder to us all that life does not stay the same forever, even though we may  wish for that Tesla or new outfit, there is more to life than the material possessions.

The Justice Tarot Card As Future Or Outcome

In my opinion, drawing the Justice tarot card in a Future Position is among the most symbolic situations. I often see this as suggesting a meandering journey that has multiple huge decisions; not only do you have to choose which path you take, but more importantly consider how far you're willing to go on each path. 

The Justice Tarot Card As Friendship Or Family

In the readings I have carried out recently the Justice tarot card appeared many times in the friendship and family position, the meaning to me is that if you pull this it may signify how to love, how to balance ourselves

Justice In Reversed position

When I find Justice in a reversed position in readings it reminds me that grandeur and beauty should never be overshadowed by the veiled delusions of justice. The Justice card appears in readings in the reversed position when there is an aspect of your spirit that is unwilling to seek out the meanings behind the events that take place in your life. This means that you are not being wholly honest with yourself about the way that you are treating others or you are trying perhaps become successful by taking advantage. You are missing the opportunity to develop a greater understanding of the lessons in your life and allowing yourself to live by default. If this is the case for you, then consider the fact that you may need to experience some level of injustice for things to right themselves again. The Justice Card’s sole interest is in perpetuating neutral grounds. If you were swept up in this experience and you find that the Justice Card is affecting you negatively, then just prepare yourself to do better next time. If you are expressing yourself in a  moral way, good in the eyes of Justice then you will reap the benefits of having this card at your side. 

Love and Romance - The Justice Card Reversed

If you have asked about Love and romance and draw Justice reversed it is about an unjust situation. Love is meant to flow, and be easy not cause pain.

Family and Home - The Justice Card Reversed

Drawing the justice card in a family and home tarot spread is like letting yourself be ripped up and sold anew with an unflinching perspective. It surrounds you with balanced, non-judgemental understanding, and calls on your autonomy to decide what kind of life you will create. It asks us to confront difficult issues, set boundaries, and move on, toward clearer skies and better times for our families and homes.

With the justice card comes a sense of freedom, of being liberated from an oppressive status quo. And, it can grant us new beginnings at any moment when we accept its invitation to draw inner strength from within ourselves by intimately knowing what we desire for our lives.

Work and Finances - The Justice Tarot Card Reversed

In a world of job boards and online resumes, commuting for long hours with low wages means you may draw this card reversed sorry to say. Yet, if we remain optimistic and strive to discover innovative solutions to existing problems, we can achieve financial freedom by working smarter and achieving success on our own terms.

Personal Spirituality - The Justice Tarot Card Reversed

Seeing the Justice Tarot card reversed can serve as a reminder that true justice is more than weighing and measuring right and wrong. Instead, I like to think that this can can be seen as an opportunity for a deep dive into our own personal beliefs, exploring our sense of fairness and justice on an individual level.

The Empress Tarot Card Meaning

In all my readings this is a good card to draw. The Empress represents mothering love, an authority figure that is looking out for you and is often a kind guardian. She is wise and has attained her place in the hierarchy of the older tarot through her own missteps and finding her way. She has learned her lessons and is now in a position to bestow her wisdom upon you. This is usually a motherly representation in one way or another indicating that you need to look out for someone around you or that someone is looking out for you. She can be represented as an older woman with authority in her own right that has come from wisdom and experience.

The Empress also represents a pure form of extroverted abundance. If you have received this card in your reading, you are going to be well taken care of. You will get everything that you desire and more. The Empress sits on her throne made of cushion and revels in luxury and her station in life. She is depicted in the tarot with a field of wheat outstretched before her which is sacred to the Egyptian Goddess Isis. She wears a crown of twelve stars with six points, illustrating her control over the cosmos. The Empress card symbolizes the Land of Milk and Honey after a long journey of hard labor and introspection. She is the Universal Goddess: Isis Unveiled, fertile, strong and dynamic. She is also Venus, Goddess of love: plump and curvy, attracting wealth like a magnet. This woman is the epitome of female strength as well as a symbol of ultimate abundance. Your needs will be fulfilled with joy and satisfaction. There is no need to fear. Having the Empress on your side is like having a fierce mother, protecting you always. Receiving this card in your reading means that you are making the right decision, that you are supported, and that there is a vast array of possibility for abundance currently transiting around you. Many rewards are coming your way.

The Empress, governed by so many feminine energies is pure emotion and deep intuitive understanding. The lessons that you have learned in your life will now continue to benefit you. As apply what you learn, you will reap the benefits of emotional rewards. She encourages you to express unfiltered emotions because you can, and because you have earned the right to do so.

The Empress In Love

When the Empress shows herself in a reading about Love whoever you are thinking about ADORES you. So be prepared to go through a cycle of being worshipped. Everyone wants to be close to you because you are The God/Goddess of Love. How can they resist you? It is practically impossible. This is your time to say what you want exactly the way that you want it and have others rush to your side to provide it. Take this time to be a little selfish; do not compromise your beliefs or your integrity for anyone that isn’t similar to you. Take this opportunity to attract someone fantastic, that matches your energy, and let it happen. Now is the time.

The Empress As Feelings

As I have said above if someone feels the empress towards you they adore you. They are going in with an open heart and generous spirit, the Empress tarot card speaks to us of a connection that is deeply honest and honoring. She means to “feel adored” and accepted by another person on a soul level, as if they hold you thought dear, respect and care for each of your needs. 

The Empress Love Reconciliation

Yes, you will likely get back together this is commitment, beauty, happiness, and, of course, the starting of a family. There’s a real feeling here, and pregnancy. If you are single, a new romance is likely to blossom. 

The Empress in Health

When the Empress comes up with a reading where health is asked, she is telling you that you have been working too hard and it is time stop and smell the roses. You likely are in a place where you can enjoy the rewards of your hard efforts and look upon them from a comfy chair overlooking the ocean and be pleased with what you have been able to accomplish. The act of healing from a busy time is just as important as any other preventative measure one to protect their health.

When stress is allowed to eat at the body, it begins to disintegrate. The Empress informs you that you need to give yourself the time off that you deserve so that you can have the perspective of a job well done. The Empress also weighs in on reproductive health. If you are trying to get pregnant or are pregnant, this card bodes well for you because you have her support. If you are trying to increase circulation or need to focus on feminine issues, the Empress will help you.

The Empress in Work, Money, Business, Career, and Wealth

Take or plan a vacation and enjoy the moment rather than constantly trying to find ways to make more money. Often this card will pop up when you are at risk of spreading yourself too thin. Do not make large decisions regarding change of employment or financial issues. If you are seeking work, the Empress says that it is going to take time. Even in the most dire situations, there are solutions that can be found and likely others that are willing to help you get on your feet until a more productive air is around you. As the empress is connected to the earth element in work she brings with her a nurturing move on the part of an employer or employee. Something is delicate, almost born. It can mean that you might be aiming high but you need time to develop yourself. The empress also indicates that one must be guided firmly but surely if contemplating a new career path.

The Empress Advice

The advice of this card is to be who you are and stop asking for permission. That's the message. She chooses and then builds and if someone does not like what she built they do not tear it down. I always find in this card, if you plant something in life it will be good for you in time. Whatever decision you are circling now, there is no information shortage going on right now. The Empress in advice is like your grandmother telling you to just do it.

The Empress Yes Or No

This card for this position is a yes. The Empress is connected to positive outcomes and new beginnings. In questions regarding fertility or pregnancy, this card carries extra meaning; your answer is it will happen, and there is very likely to be a baby in your future. 

The Empress Past

The Empress highlights a significant female figure from your past, she walked through the pages of your history like a leader, leaving her mark and paving the way for you. She might have been maternal, she might have been an equal, whatever the case, did she teach you lessons that you are now ignoring? This card may also appear in your past position when an opportunity you seized in the past has come good in the present. Seeds do not grow overnight but instead, they must be cared for and watered in order to become something more. The card reminds you that hard work is worth it, even when the rewards lie further down the road than you’d like. 

The Empress Present 

And something new is coming! The thing I want to remind you is that you don't have to be BRAVE in the way you think brave looks. No need to charge forward with a sword, as the Empress wears no sword. Yes, she really grows things, she is strong but not loud. I often find this can signify a real women in life. It's the woman who keeps the whole family together and nobody notices until she stops. So stop figuring out what this new thing is. She needs soil and time and the will to keep going when nothing is visible yet. Seeds are already in the ground. And here I am telling you that you were the one who planted them.

The Empress Future and Outcome

All I can say is massive abundance is coming.  It is a sign something will blossom into something much, much more; it could be a personal ambition, a new relationship or stage of commitment with a loved one, or simply a change in location and lifestyle. 

The Empress As Friendship

For friendship, this is having real friends for once. If you are seeing this card, you are an important part of that balance so keep on doing what you’re doing and the happiness within your friendships will continue to fill each of you with gratitude and joy. If you have broken a friendship or had problems with a female then this is a kind of healing card. Things are going to work out. 

Reversed Empress In A Reading

The Empress in the reversed position, in my view, is symbolic of infertility, inconclusiveness, lack of abundance and confusion as well as instability and sometimes financial issues. It can also be a female that is starting to really ANNOY you. This happens when one is too caught up in attempting to make everything perfect and there is never any rest to gather what was. This also means that you need to use caution in your spending habits so as to not flitter away financial resources.

Take care to set up a nest egg for yourself so that you might be prepared should something go wrong. Question your poverty mindset and your feelings toward money or abundance. Do you feel worthy of relaxation? Of reaping the benefits that you have sown after hard work? Do you feel as though it is impossible to catch up? Ask the Empress to help heal your poverty mindset so that you can reap the benefits of the abundance that she has to offer you.

The Empress Reversed - Love and Romance

Your relationship is tricky right now this card drawn means the lover is both tender and sad at the same time. It could be that you fight over little stuff. Maybe somebody gets mad about nothing. This often occurs when we realize something has gone, or that you forgotten to love each other. The Empress reversed also carries warnings of a love that has resulted in some hardness and lack of empathy. For some of you, you and your partner may have been arguing or ignoring opportunities to be tender and loving with one another.

The Empress reversed - Family and Home

Thsi card can sometimes end up in spreads  when the maternal figure of the family has been too busy or occupied to take on her normal role as the carer and nurturer of the family. If this figure is usually you (reversed), then it is worth refocussing your attention. Remember that communication and affection are two of the most important things in any happy, healthy family talking.

The Empress Reversed - Work and Finances

I often see this when someone's career has become dull and unfulfilling, it may not be awful, but like bread without butter, it’s far from ideal. Sometimes we can improve things without making huge changes, we just need to look at things in a new light and keep an open mind to see the possibilities before us. 

The Empress Reversed - Health and Wellness

Remember that the best way to break out of a lull of energy is to force yourself to get more active and reignite your passion for life, through movement and the great outdoors. This card has a connection with nature, and when reversed it may highlight that a person is spending too much time indoors and away from the natural world, are the four walls closing in? For women trying to have a baby, this card reversed often suggests complications or issues with infertility. Go to your doctor for a check-up to see what your situation is. 

The Empress Reversed - Personal Spirituality

The Empress reversed points to a crossroads of the true spiritual path. You may have allowed yourself to disconnect from your spiritual journey, sometimes the daily bustle of life gets in the way of the deeper meaning that sits behind everything. This card reversed urges you not to get caught up in the mundane things in everyday life.
