Behind the Lens
An 1878 editor from the half-civilized territory of New Mexico described it best when he wrote, "There are no state officers to interfere with the unalloyed liberty which the inhab-itants of that country enjoy. When any horse thieves or bad characters make their appear-ance they are strung up to the cottonwoods."
I wonder what would happen if we were to return to this simplier form of American Justice. Would the world become a safer or more dangerous place to live?
The Card's Meaning
In readings, Justice often appears when we are concerned with doing what is right or making the right choices. We must weigh matters carefully, before making important decisions that will effect our lives and/or the lives of others. The laws of karmic justice demand we act responsibly and honestly, for all actions and decisions will return to us later. Justice can help us alter our lives accordingly, and press us to make improvements.
This card can also appear when we are experiencing the consequences of our actions. Every cause we set to motion will eventually return to us as an effect. The past has a way of finding us if we do not recognize our mistakes and make amends for the future. Likewise, the card can also refer to judgments in our favor or receiving a just and deserving due.
In a more mundane sense, Justice can remind us of courtrooms, where judgments are made and decisions rendered. In some readings the appearance of this card can refer to legal matters, where the principles of justice, fairness, and the impartial quest for truth can be explored and a verdict provided.
