The appearance of Justice tells of a judgement made fairly and appropriately, and reminds us that there will always come a time when our actions are judged. It is a deliverer of what is deserved, and its double-edged blade cuts both ways. Know that justice itself has no power to help or harm you, rather you create your karmic rewards and punishments through your actions.
Justice reminds us that our decisions often reach beyond ourselves and counsels us to think on the effect of the action in question before seeing it to fruition. If you are questioning why something has occurred, analyze your past actions and take responsibility for what you have wrought.
This card can also serve as a balm if you have been wronged, as the universe will always dispense justice and restore balance. Keep in mind that acts of revenge rarely balance the scale, and the most rewarding repayment is often embarking on another more fulfilling path.
The Hermit is a great wanderer of the inner landscape, eternally seeking knowledge of the self. A strong will and vast knowledge of the world alone is not enough to bring inner peace, and so The Hermit wanders through their unconscious mind in search of understanding.
Know that the path to locate your inner voice is one of solitude. The dark night of your unconscious must be walked alone, void of the voices and desires of those around you. Only when true solitude has been achieved will the bright northern star of your inner voice lead you to your destination.
This card counsels you to provide yourself a space where you can be truly alone with your thoughts. By allowing yourself to contemplate and self-reflect without distraction, you uncover a clear path to decisions aligned with your true, authentic self.
The World is a powerful symbol of completion, fulfillment, and accomplishment. Through your actions and efforts, you’ve built a reality where your goal is complete and your heart and mind are unified. Now it is time to walk confidently and let the harmony of the world ring through you.
This card could be indicative of the completion of a major project, life event, or goal. Whatever the cause, it has an incredibly powerful effect on your self-perception and confidence, as it should. Know that you are counseled to reflect on your accomplishment and encouraged to celebrate it. Once you are centered and one with yourself, your constructive energies can be directed outwards, making the world a better place.
The World also cautions you to avoid a false sense of security when embracing the oneness it signifies. In our human lives, the total completion represented by The World is never permanently achieved, rather it is a wholeness achieved intermittently throughout the cycle of life as we continually grow and change.
