Vincent said:This card is a standard symbol for Justice, that has ancient origins, so I really can't see any connection to the seven chakras any more than a connection to the seven planets, the seven musical notes, or the seven days of the week.
Actually, I'm with Vincent on this one. (Although there is nothing to prevent us from enjoying making this association)
However, yes now that Vincent has pointed out what the "lines" actually are, I see those are simply the strings that attach the scales, and are depicted the same way exactly in the Marseille Justice card.
Also, if we are looking for numbers in the lines, I find it odd to include the cross bar. Or, if we include the cross bar, why do we not include the handle (and get eight lines)...for Justice...(if Justice were numbered properly!).
On the other hand there is a natural link between "scales" and notes/chakras/colours that doesn't require any tortured associations - the seven notes are a scale, as are the colours and the chakras.
