JUSTICE - RWS TAROT DECK (ORIGINAL IMAGE)
This week’s message for the Shadow Supporter community came to me in a dream last night. I dreamt of a book with the word “Justice” printed on the cover, and when I awoke the word was on my lips. Rather than pulling cards for this week’s mini reading, I’ve decided to explore the Justice tarot card and trust that its message will resonate within this circle.
The Justice card is major arcana eleven in the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) deck, though it should be noted that it was a different number in many older versions. You may choose to follow whichever resonates with you, but for my readings with RWS decks I adhere to it being the number eleven. Some may reduce this number further to two, and some may see the number eleven as non-reducible. The choice is yours.
Justice sits tall on their thrown, crown properly balanced and sword raised high. They represent truth, fairness, and accountability. When I pull this card in a personal reading, I have mixed emotions about it, as it can be somewhat intimidating. Questions like: Have I wronged someone? Has someone wronged me? What has been unfair that I may have missed? fill my head. Admittedly, I am an anxious person, and there is nothing inherently bad about the card itself. But if you’re anything like me, try and focus on the positives that the truth can bring. If we or someone else has been unfair, righting that injustice can bring peace and harmony to burdensome situations. We often ask for the truth to be revealed, but we also fear it. This is an opportunity to shift that.
Righting wrongs and taking accountability – as the Justice card can allude to – is an important piece of our shadow work and integration. If we’ve wronged others, correcting that can assist in the development of our higher self. And if someone has been unjust to us, learning to manage those situations in a healthy way can help, as we have a right to be treated fairly and respectfully. Either way, Justice can be a light in an otherwise darkened room. And once the light shines in the shadows, they have nowhere left to hide.
