Upright Justice’s Energy Wellness Advice
When Justice shows up, it implies the laws of Karma. Sometimes Justice represents hard lesson that we have to learn in life. Justice is all about cause and effect. Whatever you deserve is exactly what you are going to get. It is not about punishment or reward. It just-is.
You may suffering direct consequences to your decisions and behaviors. You are reaping what you have sewn.
Justice often means that the law is involved. Society has set up a system of justice to ensure fair treatment for everyone. Legal matters should proceed fairly and Justice usually implies favorable outcomes in legal, business and personal situations.
It also represents deliberation and victory for those who are in the right, or for right decisions in general. A third party may help you to achieve a fair outcome.
Actions may be taking place to restore harmony and bring a better balance to life.
Justice often appears when you have to weigh many factors toward making a balanced and thoughtful decision.
You may be dealing with a settlement, contract, marriage, divorce, court room trial, apology issues or litigations where you may now reach an agreement after much turmoil.
If this card represents you, the seeker, then your perception of the situation is accurate.
The way you are viewing others, or how you feel about the situation you are now in, may be exactly right and you should be able to make the right decision here. Do not allow anyone else to convince you otherwise! Your judgment is good right now.
Reversed Justice’s Energy Wellness Advice
You may not be able to reach a fair decision. Perhaps a wrong decision has been made. Seek legal or wise advice.
You may be in the position of being treated unfairly, judged wrongly or even abused.
Are you, or someone else, the victim of false accusations or of prejudicial treatment?
You may be dealing with delays in issues of fairness or of trying to keep the peace at any price. Is there someone who refuses to apologize? Is it you?
You may feel like taking the law into your own hands, or perhaps you already have.
It is time to be truthful with yourself. Do not deny the true motivations behind you actions or inactions.
Eventually all secrets are revealed. You have either been found out or soon will be.
The Captains Lady's Energy Wellness Recommendations
Since Justice relates to the 'water system' of the body, I recommend reading about tap water under "Eating, Naturally!". It is important to flush out toxicities.
Reversed Justice suggests you are dealing with stressful difficulties that leave you feeling you have no control over matters. Do what you can to balance the scales in your life. Eat right, get enough sleep, listen to some music. Visit 'Claiming Radiance!' for ideas on how to create more personal, physical and environmental energy balance!
Reversed Justice also implies certain truths coming out into the open. The damage done to our emotions and bodies by repressing 'truth' can be immense. If you are harboring truths, perhaps it would be better to bring these things to the surface rather than continuing to let it eat you up. Find out how stress can effect the body by visiting 'Dealing With Negativity'.
Note: In some decks, Justice and Strength are in reversed positions.
