cosmic tarot - justice

Myrrha

Justice is not blind in this deck! She watches, she sees. The eagle is a far-sighted bird. Day and night she is watching.

I am finding two different aspects to this card. The tower is reminiscent of structures in the Hierophant and Emperor cards and shows Justice as a social value. Light streams from the windows in the tower: concepts of Justice, the rule of law, equality before the law all help make the difference between a society where there can be light and a dark place to live. These symbols are all around the woman's head. This is Justice on the "head" level, the mental level.

At the level of the woman's heart is a large yin/yang, and a scale coming out of a rose. I feel like this illustrates the idea of Justice on a more personal level, the level of the "heart". The yin/yang and scale both show the idea of balance. On this level it isn't so much about law as weighing the matter, taking both sides of an issue into consideration and doing what you know is just.
