XI - Justice

Libra Season 10.22.2023

I couldn't say goodbye to Libra Season without talking about the energy of The Justice card. And it's very relevant energy to this time in our collective history and the many horrendous atrocities happening worldwide.

Justice, Equality, Fairness, Equity, Impartiality & Democracy.

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. -Confucius"

This Justice Card is from the Modern Witch Tarot by Lisa Sterle.

Although there is no exact birthday on record, many sources claim that the Chinese philosopher Confucius was a Libra. I had difficulty finding a profound quote that aligned with Justice from a modern Libra.

All the ideas that the Justice Card represents are easier said than done. Like many things in life, what sounds good in theory can be highly challenging in execution and practice because the vast majority of our problems as a whole are human problems, and humans are complex and flawed by nature.

There are elements of this Justice Card that remind me of The Hierophant and The High Priestess, and I think that if those two energies got together and had a baby, it would be our humanitarian Justice.

The perfect combination of empathy and structure. The need to see all sides of a situation. Learning when to get involved and when to sit down and listen to others. The flexibility to be able to see what isn't working, learn, and adjust. Embracing failure because it leads to wisdom and improvement. That challenge lies in getting everyone to agree on what the "correct" definition of Justice is.

To help you align with what Justice looks, sounds, and feels like for you, I made you a simple yet impactful spread!

If you're using an oracle deck, find the card that is most aligned with the energy of justice, balance, and diplomacy.
