3 Card Tarot Reading

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. 

Health and Wellness - The Justice Tarot Card Reversed

Seeing the Justice tarot card reversed means to promote good health and wellness through every action we take. We have the opportunity to shape our lives by taking part in healthy activities such as physical exercise, nutritious eating, and meaningful time with family and friends. 

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.

Queen of Swords Tarot Card Meaning

When you have received the Queen of Swords in your reading, you are seen as an assertive perfectionist who is also hyper protective and ambitious.

A mother figure as well as a knowledgeable leader is often the embodiment represented by the Queen of Swords. You have ideas that are ruled by the drive of the heart which is what makes you so uniquely you, and someone that others enjoy being around and depending on. You are highly informed and an excellent communicator. There is very little that consistently confuses you because you are so good at figuring things out, and when others need assistance creating a plan, they come to you to help them organize their life. This card is the representative of the sheer force of will to achieve, to better one’s journey in life, to better one’s self.

The image of the Queen of Swords as it appears in the Rider Waite Deck shows an image of a Queen who is sitting very regally on her high throne staring off into the sky. Her sword is raised in her left hand, which suggests an almost daring nature, daring others to try to throw her from her throne. She will have none of it. The base of her thrown is decorated with butterflies, which are symbolic of the soul. This card is symbolic of a brown haired brown eyed woman.

She is keen and quick witted and often representative of someone who has put a lot behind her in her life. She may be a widow or someone who is unable to bear children. There is a sense of longing or mourning within her strength, longing for those that is far from her. This card can stand for widowhood, mourning, kindness but with a firm hand, gracefulness and observation as well as a fondness for dancing.

When one is having a hard time, there is no one better to go to then the Queen of Swords, for she will put your life into perspective like no other. If you tend to be referred to as someone who is very similar to these character traits then know that you are going through a phase in which all of your skills will be fine-tuned. The Queen of Swords is going to be blessing you with productivity. If you do not feel that you are currently this kind of person, then you are either going to be blessed by learning how to become adept at this kind of behavior or you are going to run into someone who is going to play this role in your life.

The Queen of Swords is someone who is a great counselor with a sharp wit and she knows how to give just the right kind of assistance. Her mental processes are developed, and she has a great spiritual depth through her experience with long troubles which makes her a master of her circumstances. Always seek the clarity that comes with the truth. You need to not allow yourself to get caught up in the lies and drama of those around you because that is counterproductive.

The counselor that is within you is waking up at this time and she seeks clarification so that you can get to the bottom of things. She uses her strength of character and her intellect to free herself of the chains of doubt and fear. She looks at the world that is caught up in drama with disdain and frustration, but at the same time she opens up her hands to it so that she can help if necessary. The clouds may surround her, but her head remains clear in the air of the real truth. She sees no restriction of gender; she is a fierce, strong, and empowered woman. You must at this time be at peace with yourself, accept whatever happens without losing your cool. Allow the negative that comes your way to being absorbed by your counseling, positive mind. See-through the illusions that the world presents.

The Queen of Swords in Love

The Queen of Swords gets what she wants. She is a fiercely independent woman who doesn’t need anyone to be happy. She is content with who she has become and the years have made her wise as well as brave. When it comes to acquiring the love of another, she does not need it but she may be in the position of desiring it just to have the company. Therefore this is a time in your life to start to selectively pick and choose the kind of people that you want in your life, and if a romantic partner is on your list of desires, then begin to make that known. Start to search for the right person who can fit your independent nature. You cannot be an equal partner with someone who is less then you in any way, be it emotionally, physically or financially, so you must begin to work the mental magic out to begin attracting someone who will compliment you.

The Queen of Swords As Feelings

The Queen of Swords as someone's feelings for another is being cool and cutting you away. There is a focus on widowhood. It could also mean cutting through the crap and the truth is clear. This Queen of Swords is a card of being wise, moving through all the smoke and hurt. It can mean they are feeling pain about the situation but does not want to give away their true feelings.

Queen of Swords Advice - Upright and Reversed

When you need to cut someone from your life the Queen of Swords appears. This is for your own good. She is all about being fine on her own. The queen is clever, intellectual and can be sometimes arrogant. She suffers no fools lightly and knows when things are not right. Do not open or show yourself too much, be kind-hearted but also deep. Try to act with restrain. Swords are also given communication and the way we express ourselves. 

Traditionally, this card is known as the widow but can mean a women who is single. This is a common card for single parents. The Queen of Swords offers perspective and the ability to see the bigger picture. In a card reading in terms of advice, she shows strength in the face of problems. If you have two queens in the spread it means rivalry, three Queens is helping friends and four queens women meeting up.

Reversed, the Queen is associated with bad behavior and attack. It can mean an opponent or someone has suddenly turned on another for revenge. The Queen lacks awareness and she cannot back away. Make sure if you get this card you do not accuse someone of something they have not done.

The Queen of Swords in Health

Sometimes your stubbornness gets the best of you. You may be avoiding a doctor’s appointment, but now is not the time to be so stubborn. If you have something going on in your body that you do not quite understand, then it is time to go to the doctor and get it figured out. No, you do not need help, not really, but there is a difference between being independent and being callous in choices that are important.

The Queen of Swords in Work and Wealth

The Queen of Swords tells others what they must do. Therefore if this Queen is transiting your reading regarding Work and Wealth then you must pay attention for opportunities that will present themselves that make it possible for you to be in charge. You will know that a position or opportunity is right for you because you will automatically feel compelled to take control of it, simply because you know what you are doing. Start advertising for yourself. Now is an excellent time to pursue going into a business venture of your own.

Reversed Meaning - Queen of Swords

You have potential that you are as of now, ignoring. You have put up walls around yourself and you are becoming too introspective and hermit like. Almost as if you are so convinced that you know the right way of being for everyone else, who you tend to be right about, that you no longer want to go outside and interact with others because you know what is best. It is almost as if at this point you know too much. But you need to know that the people that exist in your life who are intolerant only have a narrow outlook and that is something that you need to avoid at all costs. But you need to also remember that you needn’t internalize someone else’s beliefs. Their perception is their own and it has nothing to do with you. Let go of your attachment to what others think, and let go of the attachment that you will be able to help everyone, because frankly, you won’t be able to.

The Hierophant Tarot Card Meaning

The Hierophant expresses that life is your teacher, providing you with lessons to learn for growth opportunities and the understanding that conflicting issues exist for the purpose of bringing new growth into your life. 

When you start to feel pressed down by the ‘shoulds’ in life, remember to listen to that higher source energy, or teacher that will show you the way. The Hierophant provides a way to gather conscious thoughts into your minds that are fed into the subconscious which assimilates and then provides you flashes of intuition. This intuition actually stretches forth from our human desire to participate in religious beliefs, which require that overarching hierarchy.

Making a wish for another person puts divine power into action. This is why prayer is so important in most religions. The act of being compassionate, of giving over your faith to a higher power to help those we love or those we don’t know provides a reverence and humbleness that is important to improve one’s character. The Hierophant’s message is for you to take your concern to God and to pray, and to allow the stillness and peace of your prayers to bring calmness to your heart and intuition to your mind. The triple cross designs on the robes of the Hierophant represent spiritual respiration. The love of nature, love of God and the love of one’s neighbors are a part of the hierarchies housed within higher source energy. Reflecting on new interests, decisions, excitement and provide a development of self. Share wisdom with others, you are a teacher.

The Hierophant in Love

The Hierophant teaches a different kind of love in reference to relationships. This is a reverent love, almost sacred. That of doing “unto others what you would have them do unto you.” This is the love of charity, of helping your fellow man. If you have received this card for a love reading then there is something that you need to learn from giving up some of your time and energy to a charity. This could also apply to friend relationships that are close enough in spirituality that you would almost call them your sister or brother. This card will usually come up when it is time for you to focus on helping one another. There is a lack of a sense of self and an emphasis on charity. When you give of yourself in this way you are creating a cycle of love that is going to be gifted back to you, because what you say is true to the Universe is true. And if you love enough to give love, then you will receive more in return. To get this card for a "love outcome" can indicate that things are supposed to be the way they are. It can mean that nothing seems to happen. It can mean that he or she sees you as the type of “marriage” person or that the other partner is married. 

The Hierophant As Feelings

If you asked about someone’s feelings the Hierophant tarot card can mean that they are "deep" and "traditional feelings" of love. It can mean that the other partner wants you to follow the rules of love and possibly they have conservative beliefs. This means there will be a traditional approach to a relationship and it can mean that they think you are the “one.” It can also mean that this person is thinking that the other is more than just a fun time!

When the Hierophant appears for feelings may also suggest that this person is looking for a deeper level of understanding and connection with you. It may be an indication that they are looking beyond the physical and exploring emotional and spiritual connections to you. 

The Hierophant can also suggest that this person is letting go of any rigid beliefs or expectations, and instead focus on opening up the heart to unconditional love. It might be an invitation to trust in the power of  love and its ability to heal from past toxic relationships. 

The Hierophant As Love Reconciliation

When the Hierophant appears in a tarot spread for love reconciliation, it often suggests that old systems are coming into play, I always see this card as the “I will marry you” tarot card. To fully reconcile with a loved one, it may be necessary to “let go of old ways of thinking”, and I also feel embrace those new possibilities. The word 'Hierophant' itself is derived from the Greek words for 'sacred bearer of knowledge', suggesting inner wisdom has a strong role in this process. 

The Hierophant In Work, Money, Business, Career, and Wealth

In careers, the Hierophant indicates a mentor or someone that is able to provide “inside” information in a company. This card can imply that you are networking or that you will soon meet someone that can guide you through the tradition of a company. As an outcome position, the Hierophant indicates a position of authority in an organization will help you. In some cases, this card could represent a company as a whole but more likely a particular male in a father, priest or mentor capacity. The Hierophant in a business venture states clearly that your focus needs to be on spiritual endeavors instead of monetary ones. If you find that work and the acquisition of wealth are not working out the way that you would prefer, then the Hierophant says to take a break out of your normal routine and examine what necessities you have and need, and which are luxuries that are actually weighing you down. Consider giving up something of yours to help someone else, or just get rid of negative emotions around work - to lighten your personal load. But, overall I will say that this card is all about being guided by a male figure.

In finances, the card indicates the need for guidance in a similar way as with health. The Hierophant card can indicate tax issues as well as a contract of employment.

In business, readings drawing this card can mean a trade or business that indicates traditional techniques will win over clients. The Hierophant is a “mentor” is traditional and old school. In business, this could represent you. Skilled in your trade and across the next few years you will learn to allot. The Hierophant is a father/minister or a work mentor. This card is also about rules and obeying them. 

The Hierophant For Action/Advice

Generally, if you pull this card for advice means that tradition and blessings will be yours. There is a focus on being taught and teaching. What do you need to learn? There is also personal power and the need to figure things out yourself. There is also a focus on marriage and meeting people. In advice position for love, the hierophant means that you need to stick to tradition and high standards. Be ladylike is your advice or a gentleman.

The Hierophant Yes Or No

The Hierophant is known as a “yes” card when upright, for he is the spiritual pope of tarot, blessing the seeker's journey with sound and wise advice. 

The Hierophant in Health

Emotional issues come into the spread when the Hierophant is present in health. Many who experience some level of religious or spiritual restriction in one way or another are suffering some kind of energy block within their body. Often the Hierophant is a card about seeking help as well. Usually, this card will come up when dealing with intense emotion and can signify the need for counseling or guidance. 

The Hierophant As A person

As a person, we often seek out a Hierophant like one seeks advice; we find in them the path of pain, or joy and life-changing glory. If your lover sees you as the Hierophant then tthis means they see you as having wisdom. I also see this card as a system, like a school or company. It could mean that you are seen as hard working or someone you asked the tarot cards about.

The Hierophant In the Past Position

The Hierophant  in the past position is about repeating patterns and traditions. This card reminds us to celebrate our culture and heritage. When drawn in the past, the Hierophant can indicate structures have been built and created in order to fully move forward.

The Hierophant In The Present Position

In our modern “Google” age, the Hierophant appears in the present position as a giant reminder of our giant stupid egos and the horribleness that can come with it. When this card appears we may be struggling to overcome terrible impulses brought about by psycho-chick love or other difficult emotions, but we must always remember that the Hierophant is pointing us back to where we should strive for.

The Hierophant In The Future Position

This card can  indicate new beginnings in relationships. When the Hierophant appears in your outcome position it is a reminder to stay true to yourself and your beliefs. It can be a new job or relationship also. Have faith in yourself and trust that you are on the right path, it can also mean a marriage or “togetherness” in the future.

The Hierophant is a tarot card in a spread about family or friends shows the importance of social time and traditional values. It can be read as a sign of struggling to conform. According to the Hierophant, there are strong bonds between individuals when he appears.

Reversed Meaning - The Hierophant

When the Hierophant appears in a reading in the reversed position, you will have exactly the opposite experience. Instead of feeling compelled to follow a religious and spiritual order that is structured, you will feel more open or carefree. You will not feel weighted down by your earthly possessions because they do not own you. One caution to be aware of for the Hierophant reversed position is that you do not become overly superstitious, so much that it gets in the way of leading a happy and healthy life. The Hierophant in the reversed position can also signify being out of balance. Be careful of manic or overspending episodes, being too blunt or honest, or extending your opinion in areas where it is not wanted.

The Hierophant I always feel reminds us to take a step back from the status quo, to break away from traditional or restrictive teachings. At the same time, this position can represent the need for new knowledge and the freedom to explore such realms with an open mind. It implies an understanding of one's quest for personal growth and a desire to seek out whatever wisdom is needed in order to meet life’s challenges in ever-evolving ways. Reversed, the hierophant speaks of a rebelling against rigid Enlightenment thought, embracing instead a journey without walls or boundaries, one marked by curiosity, creativity and mindfulness that leads to higher truths.

Love and Romance - Hierophant Reversed

If the Hierophant is reversed, love and romance can mean all rules have been broken and barriers have been smashed. In this case, there is an openness for lovers to explore their passions freely, with no restrictions or judgements from outside people. This may be a time of transformation, when we allow ourselves to break free and open your heart.

Family and Home - Hierophant Reversed

By pulling the reversed Hierophant, family and home have been given a challenging twist. We must remember to be flexible and open-minded in our understanding of how our “family and home life” manifest themselves. It may be through a traditional nuclear family, it may be through a chosen set of friends, or it may even be through a rotating group of strangers that we draw support from. 

Work and Finances - Hierophant Reversed

The Hierophant Reversed for a work reading indicates that there is a need to make changes in the way we think about work and finances. Rather than relying on outdated systems, this card encourages you to take creative steps forward and establish a new path that takes into account our individual needs. As a result, we have the freedom to express ourselves at work without being constrained by rigid rules or regulations. 

Health and Wellness - Hierophant Reversed

The Hierophant Reversed, for health indicates energy and many possibilities. This card is about getting more fit and healthy and being worried about the traditional things when reversed. Instead of focusing purely on restrictions, it is a card that encourages exploring new paths that mean better health and balance. 

Personal Spirituality - Hierophant Reversed

An apology may feel necessary when this card appears in the personal spirituality is reversed - don't apologize! Each teaching has something special to offer and empower from - make sure it's one that feels true and brings light to your spiritual journey!

In summary, I always believe that in times of difficulty or crisis this card shows that we should trust our intuition and let the Hierophant guide you on your path.
