Justice

Archetypes in the Tarot - Justice

Can Justice have a personality? Ultimately the answer is yes. Shown as a woman holding the sword of righteousness and wearing a crown she sits on the throne between the pillars that lead to the superconscious. She is a balanced personality. Here we find the ability to combine the sciences of life with the human ability to use the emotions and perceptions of intuition to come to a balance of determination that provides a true form of justice, which may not have anything to do with what we call the "Justice System". This is a person who is able to understand the whole truth of any situation. Her penetrating gaze sees through the arrogance of ego, pierces the lies of conceit, detects the self delusions of pretense. Her left hand holds the scales of balance to weigh the souls and intentions of those whom she hears and sees. This is a person who can see through the defenses of anyone who tries to thwart her sense of right and will call anyone on any attempt "run one" on her.
