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

 

The Justice Card Tarot Reversed

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.

The Five of Pentacles

 
 
 

The Five Of Pentacles Tarot Meaning

The Five of Pentacles can be a very worrisome card when appearing in a reading as it shows that there is a loss, usually in financial matters.

The card reflects a loss of financial footing and often will appear at a time of dire need regarding stability in your life. When you see the Five of Pentacles and you are in a good place in your life be warned that there are likely hard times coming ahead. Being prepared for this can often stave off a bad situation and therefore it is a good idea to set your focus on the monetary and stabilizing forces in your life.

By simply looking at the Five of Pentacles you can tell that the card is one of loss and struggle. Two people, often interpreted as a parent and child, huddle closely while heading into the cold and snow. They appear to be outside of a church with five pentacle coins appearing in the stained glass window. Many people will focus on the negative card and allow an overwhelming emotional response to miss the obvious solution at hand. The church is right there, usually a safe haven for the poor or needy, yet the two individuals are still outside in the cold.

While the card does have definite negative connotations, there is also an offer of hope within the card itself. The Five of Pentacles tells you to remember that you simply need to open the door and ask for help in order to get back on your feet. If you are not experiencing this in your life yet, now is a great time to prepare yourself. However, if you are in the midst of conflict in your own life do not ignore the help that is available to you. It is likely that you may have to start over in all or some aspects of your life. Remember that through loss sometimes there are aspects of our lives that need to be purged. Foundations that were poor to begin will no longer hold you up. Relationships that are failing will leave you alone. You don’t have to be excited about the loss that you have experienced or are experiencing. That doesn’t mean that the loss is all bad either. Think of now as a way to focus on the basic needs for your existence and be sure that they are being met.

The Five of Pentacles in Love

When the Five of Pentacles shows up in a love reading it often will accompany feelings of abandonment, insecurity, or a general lack of attention. The card is not a mild card and usually hen it appears there is a serious need to look at all aspects of the relationship and to ensure that you are getting your base needs met. Sometimes the Five of Pentacles will show up when things are at their worst and because of this there is hope that it will get better but in what way is up to you. Ponder how you are really feeling about your relationship in a logical way. Try to separate yourself from the raw emotions relating to recent strife in your relationship and focus on the true root of the problem. Often you will not find that the relationship itself is not the problem but rather other areas, particularly work or money, are causing a strain that is bleeding into your relationship. Before starting a new relationship make sure that you have your finances sorted out and that you have time to really invest in a relationship. It may be best to focus on the more material aspects of your own life before you seek out a commitment with others.

The Five of Pentacles in Health

The Five of Pentacles can indicate failing health problems that are not responding to treatment as expected. Often the card comes when increased health issues are present and it is time to take a drastically different approach to your health. Be mindful that you are doing all you can to improve health and following doctor’s orders precisely.

The Five of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

Unfortunately, the Five of Pentacles is not a good card regarding wealth and work. Financial situations likely have taken a turn for the worse and the card will often show as a result or a warning to job loss. If you are seeking focus on work specifically now may be a good time to look at all of the options that you have and make sure that you are not putting all of your financial eggs in one basket. Regarding money specifically, the card carries negative aspects regarding loss. Failure regarding finance may be causing a great deal of stress, anxiety, and worry. Focus on the positive aspect of the card and seek help where you can find it. You may have to be creative right now to make monies stretch until you get through this rough patch. Be exceptionally careful about your spending habits or making large purchases at this time. If you do have an excess of income or savings stored up then it is imperative that you protect this money source and avoid making risky or frivolous spending choices at this time.

Reversed Meaning - Five of Pentacles

The Five Of Pentacles Reversed

The negative feelings of the Five of Pentacles are relieved in the reversed position. Usually, it will come up after a hard time or also can indicate that you dodged a bullet financially or materially speaking. While hard times are behind you and there is a more positive energy around you, you still want to be careful that you avoid situations like this in the future. It is important to take time to really concentrate on how you are spending your money and ways to protect yourself financially. A common response to hardships that are represented with the Five of Wands are celebrating, however, you are not fully in the clear yet. Things are definitely turning around for you but you still have negative emotions or consequences that you need to clean up in your life. Focus on aspects of your life in which you can harvest security from, design back up plans for the future, and make sure you are creating a new and solid foundation that will not crumble.

Usually, there is a cycle of money issues surrounding this card. The card will come up in a reading in the upright position then appear later in the reversed manner and then eventually not show at all. If you do not correct your mistakes that first caused the financial strain then you will continue with the same loss pattern until you adopt healthier spending habits or more secure income sources. Ponder ways in which you can completely alter you path. Consider perhaps seeking out a new job, implementing new savings plans, or cutting back spending where you can on a long-term basis. The card calls not for a temporary solution. Now is a good time to revamp both the way you think about money and the way you save.
