Justice

Card Description

Justice sits on a throne between two pillars, holding a sword in her right hand (reason and logic) and scales in her left (balance and intuition). Her purple cloak represents compassion, while the crown on her head shows the ordered nature of her thoughts.

The square clasp at her throat symbolizes law and order. Unlike human justice which can be fallible, tarot's Justice represents cosmic law - the natural consequences of actions, karma made manifest.
